Investing in America

The U.S. economy has faced significant challenges in recent years — job loss, supply chain issues, inflation — leading to hardship for individuals and businesses alike. The tools at our disposal to address these problems aren’t always up to the task, and often the economic data we have doesn’t truly match the reality of Americans’ experiences. What would a modern economic strategy look like, one that empowers workers, strengthens industry, and future-proofs key economic sectors? Hear from Heather Boushey, a member of Biden’s Council of Economic Advisors, and Gene Ludwig, longtime financial advisor to Wall Street and founder of the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity, in a conversation moderated by Gillian Tett, U.S. editor-at-large of the Financial Times. Together, they discuss the principles and policies needed to transform the economy.
