The guy she talked to last week is known as a Fed Watcher (aren’t we all) who has some interesting comments on how he is viewing globalization now and also talks about behavioral economics.

I am fascinated by the behavioral aspect of economics and, boy oh boy, we sure are in the throes of that right now, especially re. the housing market. He also talks about the effect of the supply chain mess on behavioral econ.

(If you watch this episode, don’t let the guy’s haircut distract you. Great hair. Weird style. )

Thank you for the post, I will certainly watch it.

At first I was afraid the "economist" would be an "expert". ahem... But, I see it is on PBS, and I have confidence in PBS to not air nonsense. I don't always agree with them, but in general they seem to be reliable.
