Trump’s Doomed Economy | Coffee Klatch for Saturday, September 6, 2025
With Heather Lofthouse and Yours Truly, Robert Reich
| |||||||||||||||
Friends,
Trump’s economy is going down what he describes as a “sh*thole.” Job growth has stalled and prices continue to rise.
The problem is it’s not just Trump’s economy; it’s also our economy.
Today, Heather and I try to give some context to the bad economic news — looking at what it means politically, who is suffering most, and how it can possibly be turned around.
Along the way, we talk about the extraordinary push-back by the federal courts and the hopes for the Democrats, and we venture into larger themes such as the centrality of science and truth in a democracy.
Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join our conversation.
Oh, and don’t forget to buy my new book, Coming Up Short (you can support local bookstores by ordering it at bookshop.org), and see Heather and Elliot Kirschner’s new movie about my last class, The Last Class (to find a theater near you, click here).
So glad you can be here today. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber of this community so we can do even more.
