In this week’s episode we talk about corporate real estate investing, woke pension funds, changing fuel economy rules, and questions about a possible Trump Federal Reserve nominee. Our guest this week is Derek Scissors of the American Enterprise Institute and China Beige Book. We talk about manufacturing, Trump policy, President Xi’s plans for Taiwan, and whether we should give up the Bill of Rights to get more bridges and high-speed trains.

Join us next week when our guest will be David Beito, emeritus professor of history at the University of Alabama and the author of the recent book FDR: A New Political Life. From the publisher’s description: “As well as eyebrow-raising disclosures on FDR’s private life, Beito’s gripping narrative brings out Roosevelt’s ruthless opportunism, and his susceptibility to all the prejudicial views fashionable at the time, on race, sex, nationalism, and economics.”
