Biden’s economic legacy


Listen Later

When President Biden leaves office in 2025, he’ll leave behind a series of industrial policies like the CHIPS Act and Inflation Reduction Act that have turned United States economic policy on its head. We’ll get into why it may take decades to see these initiatives fully play out. And, we’ll get into Vice President Kamala Harris’s budding economic agenda. Plus, why Tesla and other tech companies were a drag on the stock market this week.


Here’s everything we talked about today:


  • “What happens to Biden’s industrial policy initiatives now?” from Marketplace
  • “The Momala Economy: The candidate caregivers have been waiting for” from 19th News
  • “Tesla earnings: Automotive revenue falls 7% in Q2, robotaxi timing unclear” from Axios
  • “What goes up must come back down” from Marketplace
  • VIDEO: “Paris” by The Brevet


Join us tomorrow for our 2024 Olympics Edition of Economics on Tap. The YouTube livestream starts at 3:30 p.m. Pacific time, 6:30 p.m. Eastern. And watch the hosts square off in a round of This/That!
