Where next for the US economy?

Available for over a year

On Joe Biden's first full day as US president, we discuss his top economic priorities. Jason Furman is a Harvard economist who served as chair of the Council of Economic Advisors under President Obama, and Casey Mulligan is an economist at the University of Chicago who served as chief economist of the Council of Economic Advisors under President Trump. And the BBC's Michelle Fleury reports on whether Joe Biden is likely to be able to achieve his ambitions for improving America's infrastructure, such as airports, roads and bridges. Also in the programme, a recent UK survey revealed up to 40% of people working from home during lockdowns have done so from the comfort of their beds. We find out more from Guardian journalist Zoe Williams. Plus, search engine Google has agreed a payment structure with France's publishers for their news content. Paris-based columnist for the Daily Telegraph newspaper Anne-Elisabeth Moutet explains the significance of the deal. (Picture: Joe Biden signs executive orders in the Oval Office.
