Episode 41 - Joe LaVorgna - Stagflation with a little ‘s’, what we can do to beat inflation, and investing with William Devane and Tom Selleck.

This week the Pack is joined by Joseph LaVorgna (on Twitter
@Lavorgnanomics) who is a Managing Director and Chief Economist
for the Americas at Natixis. Joe formerly worked for the White
House as a Special Assistant to the President and Chief Economist
of the National Economic Council where he was responsible for
advising the President and the NEC Director on developments in
the financial markets and the broader economy. Joe’s resume also
includes time at Deutsche Bank where he was one of the leading
economists on Wall Street. Joe also holds a Senior Fellow
position at the America First Policy Institute, a Washington,
D.C. based think tank. He was ranked as a top economist in the
prestigious Institutional Investors’ All-Star Fixed Income Survey
for over a decade, so he knows the world of finance inside and
out.


Joe gives us insight on topics ranging from stagflation to a
pending recession and tackles the important questions like, “Why
is my gas so damn expensive and how can we fix it.” We also touch
on the Fed and the Treasury and the dangers of their new policies
that many consider overreaching and creeping away from its
mission statement. Sit back and have a couple of drinks, because
even if the news current might not be good, nobody wants to get
“Mushed”.
