Is the U.S. Economy Really Booming?

The U.S. economy grew close to 6% in 2021, the strongest year in nearly four decades. On this episode of Ones and Tooze, Adam Tooze and Cameron Abadi analyze how we have bounced back from the pandemic recession, and what ways the economy is still falling short. Spoiler: It’s more than inflation. 

Also on this show, a Valentine’s Day special: Tooze and Abadi look into why perfume is booming and how the scent industry actually works.
