If You’re Not in the Top 10%, the “Economy” in Headlines Isn’t Yours May 29, 2024

Show notes

You might be familiar with the phrase, "In this economy?" But it turns out, there might be more than one "economy" out there. There's a deep disconnect between what we hear about in the headlines ("The economy is great!") and our day-to-day experiences affected by wage stagnation, inflation, and high interest rates. We dig into it with the help of Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody's Analytics, as well as Judd Cramer, from the Harvard department of economics.

ESG (or “environmental, social, and governance”) investing has been one of the hottest financial trends in recent years. It promises something that sounds too good to be true: You can invest in a way that aligns with your moral compass, and you don’t have to sacrifice returns to do it. But…can you?
We’re joined by Alex Edmans, a professor of finance at London Business School and expert in the field, to help us cut through the greenwashing.

Rich Girl BT wrote in saying, "We talk more money with friends—but once they know the salary, they'll hold it against you.
