Dr. James Galbraith was kind enough to join me on the show this week to discuss macroeconomics. We talked about measures of economic output and inequality such as GDP, GINI Coefficient, and Theil Index.
Dr. Galbraith also walked me through the broad strokes of Modern Monetary Theory, the national debt and the national deficit.

James K. Galbraith holds the Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Chair in Government/Business Relations and a professorship of government at the LBJ School of Public Affairs.
