Planet Money: Fight Night




Planet Money show

Summary: Some weeks, Planet Money listeners have hopped all over us for using too many free-market economists. Now, David Kestenbaum sets one free-market thinker against an ideological opposite, a Keynesian. These two forces have had only one proper fight — the Great Depression. Both claimed victory. It's Russell Roberts, who wants to keep government out of the economy, versus Steven Fazzari, who thinks it's time for a stimulus package. Who's right? Your future could depend on it.
