Mostly Economics Podcast #19: Trump's Economic Chaos with Robert Pollin
Update: 2025-09-04
Description
Dean Baker and economist Robert Pollin discuss Trump's chaotic first weeks - from firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage paperwork to shutting down an 80% complete wind farm. They examine how erratic tariff policies hurt workers while creating business uncertainty, and why attacking clean energy gives China a competitive advantage. The conversation reveals a troubling pattern of prioritizing political theater over sound economic policy.
