  • The U.S. now owns a big chunk of Intel. That’s a huge deal.

    The U.S. now owns a big chunk of Intel. That’s a huge deal.
    Sep 12 2025
    Last month, President Donald Trump announced an unusual deal. Intel, the biggest microchip maker in America, had agreed to give the United States a 10 percent stake in its business. That means the U.S. government is now Intel's largest shareholder — and a major American company is now a partially state-owned enterprise.

    This deal has raised a lot of eyebrows. The U.S. government almost never gets tangled up with businesses like this. Some have accused the president of taking a step toward, well, socialism.

    But the Intel deal didn’t come out of nowhere. It's actually the latest chapter in one of the most aggressive economic experiments the United States has ever attempted. An experiment that Trump is now taking in a surprising new direction.

    On today's show, we unpack the Intel deal. Where did it come from, and what does it say about President Trump’s unconventional approach to managing the economy.

  • Asking for a friend … which jobs are safe from AI?

    Asking for a friend … which jobs are safe from AI?
    Sep 10 2025
    There’s one question we seem to be hearing everywhere: “Is my job safe from AI?”

    Dozens of you, our listeners, have written to us about this. Saying things like, “Maybe my yoga teacher side gig is actually my safest bet now,” and “My parents were in real estate, and I never thought I’d say it ... but maybe that’s what I should do?”

    If only there were a list that could tell you which jobs are safe from AI. We go looking for that list…and find that the AI future is going to be even weirder than we’d imagined.

    Today on the show: We talk to two researchers who have come up with some first drafts of the future. We learned more about the machines that might be coming for our jobs, and also, more about what it actually means to be human.

  • What happens to central banks under pressure?

    What happens to central banks under pressure?
    Sep 6 2025
    President Donald Trump has been pressuring the Federal Reserve from a few angles. So we wanted to look at other examples of political pressure on central banks, to see what it might mean for us and for the economy.

    Enter the watchers. The people who’ve had their eyes trained on central banks all over the world, for years, notebooks out, scribbling down their observations. They’ve been trying to gauge just how independent of political pressure central banks actually are – and what happens when a central bank loses that independence.

    Today on the show, we sidle up next to three of the leading central bank watchers, to watch what they’re watching.

    Further reading:
    - Carolina Garriga’s: Revisiting Central Bank Independence in the World: An Extended Dataset
    - Lev Menand’s: A New Measure of Central Bank Independence
    - Carola Binder’s: Political Pressure on Central Banks

    Further listening:
    - Lisa Cook and the fight for the Fed
    - A primer on the Federal Reserve's independence
    - The case for Fed independence in the Nixon tapes
    - A Locked Door, A Secret Meeting And The Birth Of The Fed
