Famed Washington Post Columnist and Editorial Board Member, Eduardo Porter, Joins Economics Matters --- the Podcast!


Eduardo's books, The Price of Everything and American Poison are must reads. But then there's been an endless and ongoing stream of simply outstanding columns. Take this 2018, NY Times article on the Rust Belt. Roughly 800 words later, you have almost all you need to know about why "Make America Great Again" is not about fighting our supposed foreign economic enemies or keeping out rapists immigrants stealing our jobs. Instead, it's about education, city-specific economic initiatives, attracting new business, and capitalizing on the diversity of the available workforce. Listen or watch as Eduardo discusses our terrible, mixed-up, tribal, and also sporadically fantastic country and world. Eduardo has lived everywhere, investigated everything, listened to everyone, and thought out of the box on the entire gamut of economic, political, and social issues. He's a national treasure, not just for what he writes, not just for how he writes, but for showing everyone what journalism at the highest level continues to be.
Here's Eduardo's Washington Post bio page with a treasure trove of his writings. And those are simply articles in the Post. Eduardo spent two decades writing for and serving on the editorial board of the NY Times. Before that, it was Bloomberg and others. Eduardo speaks five languages.
