The armchair economists are back for another edition of What The Heckonomics and this week Brian is learning Jake a lil' something about Tariffs and Trade Wars! Talking all about Trumps plans and his sentiment that "they are good and easy to win." Also Jakelandia & Brianlund go to war over shoes and chairs and the Star Wars prequels find relevance! There's also some Star Trek & Wakanda comparisons because NERDS, and the two find themselves discussing how there's a lot more humanity involved in economics than it may seem and if its possible to find the balance between the obligation to care of our fellow countrymen while accepting economic creative destruction.
All that and Brian makes it a WHOLE HOUR before saying something mean about libertarians.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
