#32 - Economics in the Age of COVID-19: Guest Joshua Gans
b'Special guest and economist, Joshua Gans joins the podcast to discuss his new book, Economics in the Age of COVID-19. \\n\\nIn the book, Joshua Gans steps back from the short-term chaos to take a clear and systematic look at how economic choices are being made in response to COVID-19. He shows that containing the virus and pausing the economy\\u2014without letting businesses fail and people lose their jobs\\u2014are the necessary first steps and furthermore outlines the phases of the pandemic economy, from containment to reset to recovery and enhancement. Gans lays out the economic choices accessibly but with urgency, leaving politics out of it. Economics in the Age of COVID-19 is essential reading for anyone interested in the long-term implications of our current crisis. \\n\\nThe book can be found on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Economics-COVID-19-Press-First-Reads-ebook/dp/B087FYT4PR/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Joshua+gans&qid=1588114187&sr=8-1'
