Why are markets still priced as if the old world is coming back? Alan Dunne and Niels Kaastrup-Larsen examine the case for structurally higher yields — not as a risk, but as the regime. Drawing from Alan's recent writing, they trace how debt levels, policy incentives, and investor complacency have converged into a feedback loop that central banks may no longer control. From Japan's bond signals to the quiet retreat of fiscal discipline in the U.S., this episode maps a shift that's already underway.

 We kick off with the latest developments in U.S.–China trade talks. The government just cut tariffs by 115%, effectively returning us to the original 30% rate where this economic game of chicken began. Is this The Art of the Deal in action—persistence, bluffing, and pushing boundaries to secure favorable “deals”? Next, AMC is trying to lure movie buffs back to theaters with half-price tickets on Wednesdays—just in time for the summer blockbuster season. We dive into the state of the cinema industry, how box office performance stacks up against broader consumer spending trends, and whether COVID has permanently changed how we watch movies. After the break, we explore the question: Does the energy demand of AI make electric utilities a potential investment play? One investor wonders if AI is a boon for individual electric companies—or if the better move is gaining exposure through a sector fund or ETF. Circling back to Trump-style deals, we examine what Republicans are proposing for the 2025 tax package—including a tax exemption for tipped income, an income tax carve-out for overtime pay, and a potential increase in the SALT deduction. To wrap up, we tackle the persistent lack of transparency in medical billing—particularly timely as UnitedHealth Group faces a federal investigation into Medicare fraud. Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes the bipartisan failures that have left America weakened through failed trade agreements and an infrastructure in shambles despite trillions spent. From FAA radar blackouts and floppy disk-era technology to lopsided trade deals and slush funds, it's clear the political class is more interested in serving special interests than fixing what's broken. As politicians transferred billions of dollars overseas to build 21st-century airports, roads, and walls to protect foreign nations, our own skies remain unsafe and they have allowed our border to remain wide open. This episode breaks it all down with sharp analysis, real numbers, and unapologetic truth. Episode Highlights: Trump – Starmer trade agreement signals a shift toward rebalancing decades of failed global economic policies. The shocking state of FAA infrastructure: radar outages, copper wires, and eBay-sourced parts. Remember, former President Biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill? Where the money really went, and why most of it had nothing to do with infrastructure.

In this episode, we're joined by Ker Gibbs, an esteemed former president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, and an expert with deep insights into U.S.-China trade relations. Ker shares his perspectives on the ongoing trade tensions, the geopolitical landscape, and the role of multinational businesses amid evolving global strategies.Introducing Ker GibbsConnect with KerKer Gibbs brings a wealth of experience from his tenure as the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. An executive in residence at the University of San Francisco and a partner at Foresight Restructuring, Ker has also co-authored "Selling to China," offering an in-depth exploration of foreign business adaptations within China.Understanding Trade Disputes and the Geopolitical LandscapeKer and Art discuss the ever-changing trade disputes between the U.S. and China, emphasizing the fluidity and complexity of negotiations. Ker highlights how changing U.S. strategies, particularly during the Trump administration, contributed to the tensions around tariffs and broader trade issues. The conversation delves into key obstacles in the bilateral relationship, including questions of sovereignty, economic supremacy, and military containment.The Role of Made in China 2025The discussion shifts to China's "Made in China 2025" initiative, which Ker notes has been less publicly discussed in recent times. However, the ambitions to dominate in areas like robotics and artificial intelligence continue to influence perceptions and policies in Washington, contributing to trade tensions. Ker explores how such initiatives may appear threatening to the U.S., given differing historical and economic perspectives.Multinationals Navigating Decoupling ChallengesAs the conversation continues, Ker offers insights into how multinational companies are adapting to the challenges of decoupling and increased self-sufficiency. He discusses the restructuring required for global businesses to operate in a siloed model, emphasizing the resilience and adaptability needed by companies in these complex scenarios.The Symbiotic U.S.-China RelationshipThe podcast also covers the intricate and symbiotic economic relationship between the U.S. and China. Ker and Art debate how both nations face significant domestic political pressures, affecting global trade and decision-making processes. They examine how multinational companies might engage with these political landscapes, providing potential pathways for future cooperation.Bridging the Policy and Business DivideKer stresses the importance of multinational companies playing a role in bridging policy and business divides, especially in the context of globalization. He argues that while businesses are inherently driven by profit motives, they can still contribute to societal solutions by understanding the broader policy implications of their operations.Conclusion: Optimism and Future OutlookIn closing, Ker Gibbs remains optimistic about reaching a trade agreement, considering the potential economic harms that could arise from prolonged disputes. The podcast ends with a reflection on the importance of continual dialogue and foresight in restructuring global strategies to enhance resiliency and cooperation between the U.S. and China.Listeners interested in further information can connect with Ker via LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram, where he shares continued insights on U.S.-China business dynamics.

About one in five Americans receive retirement, survivor, disability, or supplemental income Social Security benefits. These payments represent a vital financial safety net, especially for retirees who have had modest lifetime earnings. This importance of Social Security makes reducing its benefits the “third rail” of American politics. But its pay-as-you-go structure – where today's workers fund today's retirees – threatens its fiscal solvency as fertility rates fall and aging baby boomers exit the labor force. Is there a way to keep the safety-net solvent? What's at stake if Social Security reform is unaddressed? Gopi Shah Goda joins EconoFact Chats to discuss these issues.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica Levinson goes solo to break down the latest in legal and political news. She starts by analyzing fresh polling data on President Trump's approval ratings at the 100-day mark of his second term, noting significant public disapproval and discussing what drives this administration's bold use of executive power. Jessica then turns to the Supreme Court's current docket, spotlighting two major education-related cases: one about the legal standard for disability discrimination in schools, and another questioning whether a religious school can be established as a taxpayer-funded charter school. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Presidential Approval Down, But Base Remains Loyal: Despite approval ratings hovering around 39–43%, President Trump's core supporters (about 33–35%) aren't likely to abandon him, illustrating a growing divide between the general public and a steadfast political base.Economic Policies & Tariffs Fuel Discontent: Many respondents reported feeling worse off economically since Trump's reelection and a majority expressing disapproval of new tariffs and federal agency cuts.Supreme Court Watch—Education and Religious Freedom on the Line: Two major cases could redefine legal standards for disability discrimination in schools and determine whether religious institutions can operate publicly funded charter schools.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

What does “abundance” actually mean—and who is it really for? In this episode, Goldy and Paul welcome back economic policy expert Mike Konczal to unpack the big new idea dominating political discourse: abundance. They dive into the buzz around Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's book “Abundance,” and Konczal's sharp critique of its deregulatory leanings, missed opportunities, and neoliberal undertones. From housing policy to green energy to the myth that deregulation alone can fix America's problems, this episode challenges the idea that more is always better, and asks what it would really take to build a future that's abundant for everyone—not just the rich. Mike Konczal is the Senior Director of Policy and Research at the Economic Security Project, where he oversees policy development, research, and strategic analysis to advance its ideas. Previously, he served as a Special Assistant to President Biden for Economic Policy and Chief Economist for the National Economic Council.  Social Media: @mtkonczal.bsky.social @mtkonczal Further reading:  Democracy Journal - The Abundance Doctrine Abundance By Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson  Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress—and How to Bring It Back By Marc Dunkelman  NBER Working Paper - Supply constraints do not explain house price and quantity growth across U.S. cities Website: http://pitchforkeconomics.com Instagram: @pitchforkeconomics Threads: pitchforkeconomics Bluesky: @pitchforkeconomics.bsky.social Twitter: @PitchforkEcon, @NickHanauer, @civicaction YouTube: @pitchforkeconomics LinkedIn: Pitchfork Economics Substack: The Pitch
