Description

In this episode Cameron and Adam discuss how the US dollar has reached near parity with the Euro and is the strongest it's been in nearly two decades. The two review what that means for exports and imports and what it says about the overall strength of the US economy. Plus a look at how some Americans are finding it cheaper to buy homes in Europe rather than the US and what that says about the housing markets at home and abroad.

Foreign Policy economics columnist Adam Tooze, a history professor and a popular author, is encyclopedic about basically everything: from the COVID shutdown, to climate change, to pasta sauce. On our new podcast, Tooze and FP deputy editor Cameron Abadi will look at two data points each week that explain the world: one drawn from the week’s headlines and the other from just about anywhere else Tooze takes us.
