We are now in the acute economic phase of a crisis that is unprecedented in modern times — a health crisis from the coronavirus pandemic that has sparked a follow-on economic crisis. In this inaugural episode of EconoFact Chats, Dan Sichel at Wellesley College speaks with EconoFact's Executive Editor Michael Klein about the economics of the COVID-19 crisis, what makes this crisis unique, and what lessons we can draw from the Great Depression and the 2008 financial crisis.

Professor Dan Sichel (Wellesley College) speaks with EconoFact Chats host Michael Klein about recovering from the current economic crisis with reference to previous recoveries, such as the Great Depression and the 2008 financial and economic crisis.
