Description

“Most economic problems are political problems at the end of the day.” Economic commentator Kyla Scanlon sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss her book, “In This Economy? How Money and Markets Really Work.” They talk about the importance of teaching Americans about the economy in accessible ways, how the government has weaponized people to justify Medicaid cuts under Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, why labor and capital don’t have to be mutually exclusive, and why she’s optimistic about the future. #DailyShow #KylaScanlon #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.

Kyla is such an excellent communicator! That skill flies under the radar until you see someone who is naturally great at it.

Kyla was fielding deeper tougher questions on the economy and the political implications than any other economist or senator, let alone president 😂

We need more intelligent young people like Kyla in government tbh. I'm hopeful when hearing her speaking on these real problems in America and the potential solutions.

PSA Kyla has a newsletter you can sign up for on her substack~ It is just as refreshing and thoughtfully worded as this interview.
