240: A Forecast of the Economy and Social Security with Larry Kotlikoff

Today I’m speaking to Laurence (Larry) Kotlikoff. Larry is a professor of economics at Boston University, a New York Times best-selling author, and the president of Economic Security Planning, where he works to produce powerful personal financial planning tools. 

For much of his career, including two Presidential runs in 2012 and 2016, he’s been uniquely focused on personal finance and economic reform. He believes that we have the power to improve our individual economic futures, as well as our nation and our planet’s–but that there are real challenges along the way.

In today’s conversation, Larry and I dig into the major problems facing the American economy in 2021, why higher taxes are all but inevitable (and why our government fails to tax so many people correctly), and how to evaluate Social Security to make the most of your potential benefits. 

One more thing before we get started. We’ve got a bunch of copies of Larry’s book,  Get What's Yours: The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security, and we're going to send them out until they're all gone!
