Populism, Inequality, & American Dream: Biggest Issues Facing the Nation?

Episode 83 is with Dr. Michael Strain, director of Economic Policy Studies and the Arthur F. Burns Scholar in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute. Today, we discuss: 1) Why the American Dream is NOT dead, and much economic pessimism is overblown; 2) The problem with populism and its origins on both sides of the aisle; and 3) Reasons for optimism on wages, GDP, and much more.
