Anne Krueger, a veteran of international economics, Senior Research Professor at the School for Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, joins Kopi Time. She is candid in her criticism of the current US administration’s stance on trade with China, guarded about the usefulness of industrial policy, and against a substantial rise in federal minimum wage. With sharp reasoning, she breaks down the risks associated with inflation, stimulus measures, international support to deal with the pandemic, and central bank digital currencies. At 87, Dr Krueger remains as brilliant as ever; an inspiration to work productively long past what tradition dictates to be retirement age.
