US Election: Still ‘the Economy, Stupid’?

In the Balance

Available for over a year

There has been plenty of fierce fighting during the US election campaign, but much of it has been about the behaviour of the candidates rather than their policies. This week, we focus on economic policy. The BBC's Ed Butler gets the inside track from Diana Furchtgott-Roth, an economic adviser to the Trump campaign and professor Austan Goolsbee, former chairman of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers and adviser to the Clinton campaign.
