The Vibes Are Off, For Sure—But the US Economy is Doing Better Than You Think — Cameron Harwick, SUNY Brockport — #220

Nerd Farmer Podcast

Cameron Harwick is a professor at State University of New York Brockport. He previously joined us in 2022 for a conversation about the causes and impacts of the inflationary crisis in 2022.

My goal in this episode was to help listeners better understand the various economic data and indicators that we encounter on a daily basis. There’s often a gap between the story these indicators tell us about the economy and the popular sentiment among the public.

This discrepancy has significant implications for the upcoming elections and beyond.
