Unpacking the Global Supply Chain Crisis with Peter S. Goodman

In this episode of the Mr. Beacon podcast, we zoom out to the big picture of global supply chains with Peter S. Goodman, Global Economics Correspondent for The New York Times. Goodman explores how cost-cutting, deregulation, and "just-in-time" practices strained supply chains, leading to shortages during COVID-19. Through insights from his new book, How the World Ran Out of Everything, Goodman shares powerful stories on resilience, corporate interests, and the need for a sustainable global economy.
