SUPD 61 Greg Brew on Oil Wars / Christine Romans on Corona Virus' impact to the economy

This weekend I discovered the scholarly work of Greg Brew. Greg is historian of oil, U.S. foreign relations, and the modern Middle East and Iran. His work explores the connections between the formation of a global oil economy and much more and he had an amazing twitter thread that went viral which started 

"A few days ago, the big OPEC/Russia meeting ended without a deal to cut production. Now Russia and Saudi, the two biggest exporters, are saying they’re going to maximize production and flood the market.

So why does this matter?"

I also spoke with CNN's Chief Business Correspondent and co host of Early Start on CNN Christine Romans.  Christine and I discussed the current and potential economic impacts of the pandemic and where we go from here.
