Marco Annunziata unpacks the risks and rewards of President Trump’s bold attempt to reshape the U.S. and global economies.

President Trump has launched an unprecedented trade war, a radical overhaul of regulation, and a significant reshaping of U.S. fiscal policy. His purpose? To rewire global trade patterns and supply chains, recreate American manufacturing capacity, and change the essential structure of the U.S. and world economies. Can he succeed? How would success be measured? What are the risks it will fail --- and what would failure look like? How might all of this affect your job, your savings, your kids’ future prospects?

 

Those are almost impossible questions to answer, but  Marco Annunziata is willing to try. He is former Chief Economist at General Electric, where he was also Head of Business Innovation Strategy. Listen as he and host Alan Stoga explore the upside as well as the downside of Trumponomics.



What do you think? Do you expect to be better off a year from now — at least in economic terms — because of what President Trump is doing?
