Hello, and welcome to Money Talks, a special extra podcast from Slate Money, where we chat with brilliant and interesting people. I'm Emily Peck. I'm a writer at Axios and co-host of Slate Money. And I'm here today with Peter S. Goodman. He's the global economics correspondent for the New York Times. Hey, Peter. Hey,
Speaker 1
Emily. How are you doing? And
Speaker 2
you have a new book out. You want to tell everyone what it's called? I
Speaker 1
do. It's called How the World Ran Out of Everything Inside the Global Supply Chain. And it is written for ordinary people and supply chain geeks alike.
Speaker 2
And the book really pulls off this thing, Peter, that you have always done really well, which is take the view from the helicopter, the big high level view of the economy and world events, and connect it with actual human beings on the ground so that we don't get incredibly bored and we see how things affect real people.
Speaker 1
Thanks for that. Yeah. I trace the passage of a single shipping container from a factory town in China across the Pacific through the mother of all traffic jams off the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. And then I look at every industry that touches it along its way, but focusing on people, truck drivers, people maintaining rail, warehouse workers. I do want everyone to think about the army of people we're counting on to make our stuff and get it to our door.
