It’s the Economy, Stupid. It’s the Stupid Economy.

My latest Lincoln Project podcast episode with Andrew Ross Sorkin

Imagine the Roaring Twenties, but with cable news, Bitcoin, and orange hair. Andrew Ross Sorkin drops into the studio to discuss his new book, 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History--and How It Shattered a Nation (out today), which shows the collision course between Wall Street excess and regulatory failure that sparked the Great Depression. Today, Trump’s tariff tantrums are gutting supply chains, midwestern farmers are losing land, inflation is gobbling up paychecks, and the rich are floating above it all. If the economic pressure cooker looks familiar, that’s because history is being regurgitated on fast forward — and MAGA’s version is dumber.
