From Trump to Sanders, economic populism is on the rise in America. Join the Institute of Politics as we welcome Stephen Moore, Chief Economist for the Heritage Foundation, and Austan Goolsbee, Robert B. Gwinn professor of economics at the Booth School of Business and former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, for a discussion of the state of the economy. These two distinguished economists from both ends of the political spectrum will examine how far the country has come since the Great Recession and what to expect in the coming months during this election year. Given that economic anxiety has provoked discontent with both the Democratic and Republican establishments, we ask how the state of the economy will affect elections, what issues are most prominent in the minds of voters, and what can be done to improve the American economic outlook in the face of global uncertainty?
