Gross Domestic Problem

by William Glass

Welcome to Gross Domestic Problem — the podcast that unveils America’s biggest financial crisis. Every episode, we break down how we got here, what happens if we don’t act, and the least painful way forward. There’s no do-nothing solution. And every solution requires sacrifice. Ignoring it means handing the burden to the next generation. If that’s unacceptable to you, you’re in the right place. Subscribe now at grossdomesticproblem.com and join the conversation.
