Is the US ready for the next recession?

The final episode of the Recession Remedies podcast sums up lessons learned from the COVID-19 downturn and looks ahead. How does rising inflation factor in to the assessment of the economic policy response? What lessons should, and should not, be taken from the pandemic to the next economic crisis? Host David Wessel is joined by Wendy Edelberg and Louise Sheiner. The three are senior fellows at Brookings and co-editors of the book “Recession Remedies: Lessons Learned from the U.S. Economic Policy Response to COVID-19.” Show notes and transcript: https://brook.gs/3RA3zvL  Recession Remedies podcast is part of the Brookings Podcast Network.
