Are we in for a hard landing? With Olivier Blanchard
Olivier Blanchard is the former chief economist of the IMF and a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. He collaborated with former Fed chair Ben Bernanke to study the responses of 10 central banks to the recent bout of inflation, what we know about its causes, and whether finally getting it back to 2% will require a hard landing. In a wide-ranging chat with Soumaya, he also discusses areas where he has changed his mind, as well as the recent tilt towards the right in France.

Customer Reviews
An SK podcast? Has to be good
I am a massive fan of Soumaya’s work and think it’s great that she is being give free rein to develop a new podcast. I missed the boat on trade talks but the standard of her work through to now creates some firm foundations.
The first episode is good and shows there is a lot potential in the discussions and topics coming up.
