We’re not burying the lede on this episode- we’re talking about the most pressing policies in government today and how they’re likely to impact our personal finances! One of the benefits of hosting your own podcast is that you have the opportunity to speak with some amazing folks who are much smarter than you- and that is definitely the case today. We’re joined by economist Noah Smith, author of the substack Noahpinion where he takes big complex economic ideas, and makes them easier to understand for the common folk like us! This is a change of pace because we tend to focus more on microeconomic factors… that being said, it’s good to take a step back and look at the big picture and to understand what’s going on with the water that we’re all swimming in, to reference David Foster Wallace. Given all that’s been going on lately with tariffs, this is a more timely episode, but we’re also pumped to get into declining birth rates, government spending, the state of the overall economy, how effective DOGE will be, the three key technologies of our day, and plenty more.
