The Most Important Number in Investing
Markets are full of numbers. Big ones. Small ones. Nonsensical ones. But what is the most influential number in investing?
Is it the oil price? Or the interest rate set by the Fed? Or perhaps the strength of the dollar?
We debate seven different rates and prices in attempt to crown The World’s Most Important Number.
And in the Dumb Question of the Week: Why does the Fed set its policy rate as a target range?

These Were The Biggest Markets And Economics Stories of 2017
The year is over, and now's the time to look back at the big stories of the past year. On this week's episode, we're joined by Chris Nagi and Matt Boesler of Bloomberg News to discuss what they saw as the dominant themes of 2017. For Nagi, it was the relentless decline in market volatility (despite a year of remarkable headlines) and for Boesler it was the persistent shortfall in inflation, and the challenge that that's posing to traditional economic models.

44: What a 12-Year Knows About Money That an Economist Doesn't
"What is money?" This seemingly simple question has the ability to drive people crazy. Is it a unit of account? Is it something about exchange? Does it have to be blessed by the government or backed by something hard? On this week's podcast, we speak with fund manager Eric Lonergan, the author of "Money (The Art of Living)," to answer this question as well as the other vexing ones that spring from it. Ultimately we get an answer that's as simple as the question itself, one that would make more sense to a typical 12-year-old than an economist.
