    Is Trump Right About the Fed Getting It Wrong?

    Trump’s Financial Reforms: Needed Correction or Ticking Time Bomb? 

    This week, we examine whether Donald Trump’s efforts to deregulate traditional finance and move crypto further into the mainstream are laying the groundwork for a financial crisis or simply fixing bureaucratic overreach stemming from the last one.  Christine Harper, a member of Bloomberg’s editorial board and co-author of a memoir by former Federal Reserve Chair Paul Volcker, and Katanga Johnson, who covers banking regulation for Bloomberg, join host Stephanie Flanders.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Will Trump’s Bill Trigger a ‘Big, Beautiful’ Energy Crunch?

    This week, we explore how the legislation’s attack on renewable energy may push up electricity bills and damage US competitiveness in AI. The tax credits in President Joe Biden’s sprawling Inflation Reduction Act were introduced to help the US keep up with rising electricity demand by making clean power sources cheaper. But now the big bill has changed all that, and an executive order issued days after its passage suggests his war on renewables isn’t over yet. Joining host Stephanie Flanders to discuss this dramatic turn of events (and why members of Congress from states raking in renewable investments supported the bill) are guests Ethan Zindler, head of country and policy research at BloombergNEF and previously climate counselor to US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and Bloomberg lobbying and influence reporter Emily Birnbaum.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    What Will Be the Economic Fallout of Trump’s Immigration Crackdown?

    On this episode of Trumponomics, we focus on US President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration, what’s at stake for businesses and the economy, what harm has been done already and whether the administration could change course. Jonathan Levin, a Bloomberg Opinion columnist focused on US markets and economics, and Kate Davidson, Bloomberg’s managing editor for US economic policy, join host Stephanie Flanders to discuss the many consequences of Trump’s signature campaign promise, whether his administration is likely to modulate its policies—and whether there could be long-term benefits to the broader economy of forcing employers to offer higher wages and better conditions to attract the workers they need.

    Bonus: Cathie Wood Says the Trump Era Is Reviving Corporate Risk Appetite

    Earlier this month host Stephanie Flanders sat down with Cathie Wood, the founder, CEO and chief investment officer of ARK Investment Management, at the Founders Forum Global conference in Oxford. They were joined by Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait and Bloomberg TV UK Correspondent Lizzy Burden.  Wood gives her take on the 'great rotation' out of US stocks, why she believes investors rebalancing their portfolios, moving away from safe-haven tech stocks and towards riskier investments, and how that's shaping her outlook for the US dollar.  The conversation was recorded on June 12, 2025.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Can the World Count on ‘TACO’ Anymore?

    In this episode of Trumponomics, we explore whether Donald Trump’s attack on Iran changes the calculus on his “reciprocal” tariffs and a looming deadline. Host Stephanie Flanders is joined by John Authers, senior editor for markets and a Bloomberg Opinion columnist, and Shawn Donnan, senior reporter covering economics, to discuss how markets have been thinking about the July deadline, and how the multitrillion-dollar price tag for the “big beautiful bill” Trump hopes to get through Congress may have raised the probability of a baseline 10% tariff.

    Why Oil Prices Are Decoupling From Geopolitical Threats

    On this episode of Trumponomics, we ask what Israel’s war with Iran, Donald Trump’s public musings about sending America to fight again in the Middle East and a potentially soaring oil price would mean for the US economy—and the 79-year-old Republican’s economic plans. We also address why those high oil prices haven’t yet come to pass.Host Stephanie Flanders is joined by Jennifer Welch, chief geoeconomics analyst for Bloomberg Economics and Ziad Daoud, chief emerging markets economist and senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
