Analyzing Economic Perspectives Ahead of 2024 Elections

The economy is the top issue influencing voters’ choice for president in this election, according to a recent Gallup poll. But “the economy” can mean many things to voters. In his campaign, Donald Trump has promised to lower taxes, remove regulations and raise tariffs while Kamala Harris wants to make housing more affordable, increase the corporate tax rate, and regulate grocery prices. We’ll talk about how Americans are experiencing our economy and analyze the candidates’ economic policy proposals.

Guests:

Peter Coy, economics writer, opinion, The New York Times

Kathryn Anne Edwards, a labor economist, independent policy consultant, and contributor, Bloomberg Opinion

Casey Mulligan, economics professor, University of Chicago
