Why the U.S. Stock Market is Tanking

The U.S. stock market has dropped more in recent days than any other period since March 2020, the beginning of the pandemic. Adam and Cameron analyze why this is happening, beyond obvious reasons like the Fed interest rate increasing, and how much we should worry about it. Later in the show, they look at the economics behind the arms race in the war in Ukraine.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
