Nobel Economist Joe Stiglitz on the Coronavirus relief bill & our economic future

Cliff and I are pleased today to have Nobel Economist Joe Stiglitz as our guest, recorded just an hour ago giving his opinion on the final congressional Coronavirus relief bill agreed to this morning. We talk to Joe about whether it's a good bill, to what degree the government should bail out big business (and in what manner), what kind of damage Covid-19 is causing to the economy (short- and long- term), and what Joe thinks of the Federal Reserve's return to Quantitative Easing. The interview with Joe is about half an hour, and the rest of us the show is us.

This is a 15-minute excerpt of our interview. To hear the entire interview, and the rest of our podcast library, please become a subscriber over at Patreon, thanks: https://www.patreon.com/posts/35256634
