  1. Can we just change how we measure GDP?

    Can we just change how we measure GDP?

    There's one statistic that rules them all when it comes to keeping track of the economy: gross domestic product (GDP). It's the sum of all final transactions, so all the goods or services bought and sold, in an economy. GDP tells us how hot the economy is running, or how cool — like if we might be heading into a recession. And it's an important tool to compare countries, policies, and politicians. It's used by the U.S. government to allocate money and by businesses to make decisions about the future. For close to a century the building blocks of GDP have been the same. Now Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, has proposed a big change: taking government spending out of GDP. On today's show, can the U.S. change how it measures GDP? We talk with a former head of the BEA — about what he thinks they're likely to do now, and about the pressure he faced while trying to compile GDP for nearly two decades. Turns out, people have always been trying to bend it to make whatever grand project they're working on look better. Find more Planet Money: Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.

  2. Toxic assets almost brought down the economy. In 2010, we bought one! (PM+)

    Toxic assets almost brought down the economy. In 2010, we bought one! (PM+)

    Remember toxic assets? They were those complicated bonds, filled with home mortgages, that nearly brought down the global economy. 15 years ago, Planet Money bought one to figure out how the 2008 housing bust and its fallout unfolded. It was Planet Money's first big series where to understand and explain something, we got into the business ourselves. To mark the anniversary, former Planet Money hosts David Kestenbaum and Chana Joffe-Walt (both now with This American Life) talk with executive producer Alex Goldmark. David and Chana share memories of how the series came about and other highlights from working on it, including why they used their own money to buy their toxic asset AKA "Toxie." We're ALSO very excited to announce that Planet Money+ supporters can now hear the entire toxic asset series in one playlist, right in your podcast app. We've also put together two other exclusive playlists featuring some of Planet Money's other projects, with more playlists rolling out this year.
