24 February 2022, RIA Intel/Institutional Investor
Before Russia invaded Ukraine, I spoke at length with Jason Furman–Harvard economics professor and President Obama’s chair of the Council of Economic Advisors. In one of his most extensive interviews, we covered a wide range of topics, starting with how economists missed the call about inflation and how such forecasting can be improved. We then moved on to issues of supply chains and productivity, Congress, government policy and China, to teaching economics during the time of Covid.
