Today's guest is Harvard economist Jason Furman, who was one of former President Barack Obama's chief economic advisers and an architect of the Affordable Care Act. These days, he's in the news for his withering critique of former President Joe Biden's dismal economic record and two-fisted attacks on President Donald Trump's trade policy. We talk about Furman's defense of global markets, Obamacare's unfulfilled promises, and why he now thinks the national debt and AI are bigger deals than he used to believe. 0:48— Failure of Bidenomics & the 'neoliberal delusion' 6:00— The neoliberal coalition breakdown 9:37— Trump's post-neoliberal economics 13:08— Biden's biggest economic failures 16:25— Why 'free money' is a bad thing 18:28— The Age of No Accountability 20:19— Why tariffs make no sense 23:52— How Furman 'zigzagged' on debt 29:42— How to get politicians to take the debt seriously 36:32— How to fix social security and Medicare 39:58— Has Furman changed his mind about Keynesian economics? 43:10— Furman's background and the future of Economics 46:50— Furman's outlook on AI 50:16— The Luddite impulse towards technological advancement Subscribe at YouTube: http://youtube.com/reasontv Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Reason.Magazine Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/reason Visit the archive: https://reason.com/tags/reason-podcast
