Plus: Part 4 of Adam and Cam's special series on the economics of love.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. inflation rates only rose by half a percentage point in January—the slowest annual rate for inflation in more than a year. Still, after periods of inflation, most economists expect a recession in the near future. But will it be a hard-landing recession with many job losses, or a less painful soft landing?
On this week’s episode, hosts Cameron Abadi and Adam Tooze discuss how plausible a soft-landing scenario may be. Plus: the financials of therapy, the fourth part of Adam and Cam’s special series on the economics of love.
About Ones and Tooze: Foreign Policy economics columnist Adam Tooze, a history professor and a popular author, is encyclopedic about basically everything: from the COVID shutdown, to climate change, to pasta sauce. On FP's hit podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi look at two data points each week that explain the world: one drawn from the week’s headlines and the other from just about anywhere else Tooze takes us.
