Summary

On paper, the economy is doing great—the stock market is strong, unemployment is low, and inflation has dropped significantly. So why does it still feel like everything is awful? Economic commentator Kyla Scanlon coined the term "vibecession" to describe this very disconnect. This week, Adam sits down with Kyla to talk about the vibecession, why the basics of economics can be so hard for most people to understand, and her new book, In This Economy?: How Money & Markets Really Work.
