Yann Koby, Ingrid Ockert | Trade Economics, the 2016 Election, and Trusting Scientists

Update: 2017-08-18

Description

12/6/16: Our show today: economics, manufacturing, and the last election! Yann Koby of Princeton's Department of Economics discusses economic modeling and prediction, especially concerning the flow of jobs in and out of the US due to trade with other countries. How does job availability in the US affect politics? What effects on the US and world economy might we expect out of the new administration? Listen in to find out! Later in the show, regular guest Ingrid Ockert reviews a lecture series by Naomi Oreskes on scientists as Merchants of Doubt. When have scientists peddled misinformation, and when should we trust them?
