Why do many Americans feel down about the economy when indicators like the unemployment rate, GDP, and inflation show strength? What is affecting consumer sentiment, and how will it impact the election? How much do partisan politics, race, and class come into play? A panel of experts sheds light on the current economic landscape, featuring Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate, distinguished professor at the CUNY Graduate Center, and columnist for The New York TimesFarah Stockman, editorial board member at The New York Times, Pulitzer Prize winner, and author of American Made: What Happens to People When Work Disappears; and Ernie Tedeschi, former chief economist at the White House Council of Economic Advisers, and director of economics at the Yale Budget Lab. Leading the discussion is Dorian T. Warren, president of Community Change, co-chair of the Economic Security Project, and co-host of the podcast “System Check.”

Presented with the Graduate Center.

A video of this event will be posted a few days later on the Graduate Center YouTube Channel.
