The Biggest Economic Developments of 2018

There are a lot of ways we could wrap up the year, but probably none better than to take a step back, look at 2018, and ask ourselves what the most important economic developments were.

From trade wars to interest rate hikes, inverting yield curves to tax reform implementation, a lot happened this year. We've asked our guests today to be prepared to talk about…well, just about everything.

  • From the Washington Post, we’re joined by economics correspondent Heather Long [1].
  • And returning to the show, we have David Beckworth [2]. David heads up our monetary policy research here at Mercatus, and is the host of his own wildly successful economics podcast, Macro Musings [3]

Check out mercatus.org [4] and The Bridge [5] for our latest research, publications, and podcast episodes.

If you love the show and want to grant Chad his number one Christmas wish this year, give us a rating on Apple Podcasts [6]! It helps other podcast listeners find the show.
