Marc To Markets

On this episode I'm joined by Bernstein Chief US Economist Eric Winograd. Eric and I discuss the economic implications of the Coronavirus. Eric talks about what central banks and governments can and can't do to stabilize markets and the economy. He also shares his outlook for interest rates.We then move to a broader discussion about the intersection of politics and economics.  Eric shares his insights into the rise of populism and the impact it has on global economic policy. He details why he believes that much of the political & economic discourse has changed from “left” vs “right” to “populism” vs “cosmopolitan liberalism”. Eric discusses the importance of independent central banks and the impact of budget deficits. We end with Eric’s best ideas to maintain and strengthen the economy.With any questions or comments, I can be reached at marc.penziner@bernstein.com or 212-969-6655.The information presented and opinions expressed are solely the views of the podcast host commentator and their guest
