Description

Chris Hughes, an economist and the author of “Marketcrafters,” sits down with Jon Stewart to unpack the economy’s fall under Trump and how understanding how politicians have shaped markets to work better could be its solution. They discuss how both parties have used marketcrafting to benefit Americans, whether the current economy requires an intervention, the need for institutions to help marketcrafting directly affect people over corporations, and his belief in a positive agenda for the future. Plus, as a co-founder of Facebook, Hughes weighs in on the company’s involvement with the Trump administration. #DailyShow #JonStewart #Economy Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

Amen, Jon! The government needs to prioritize serving the people's needs, not just the corporate or stock market needs.

What could have been learned from the economic crises of 2008 and 2020/21 was a) how much markets live on trust and b) how vulnerable supply chains are. Trump tanked both at the same time for no reason

Imagine if Bernie had been elected in 2016. He would've had people like Chris Hughes managing the economy. Such a lost opportunity.
