Macro with Jason Middleton

Macro with Jason Middleton

What is 'Macro'? Smart and useful versus scary and stupid. The macroeconomy is daily life, household budgets, jobs, interest rates, retirement plans … and the occasional bank run. ‘Macro’ finds opportunity in what’s coming next, economically: artificial intelligence and the response to the inevitable economic response to the climate crisis. ‘Macro’ is a signal amid the noisy headlines that blow past us every week.
