John Taylor discusses the economy on <i>Uncommon Knowledge</i>

This week on Uncommon Knowledge, world-renowned economist and Hoover senior fellow John B. Taylor discusses the US economy: how we got here and what policies we should adopt going forward.
“Quite frankly I think if we don't change the policy we will have this two percent growth, and it is very disappointing. It's hardly enough to have incomes rise over time. The notion of progress and the notion of people being able to move from the lower-income distributions to a higher will go away.” (34:33)
