The US economy is still sick with Covid. In a few months, the unemployment rate went from a historically low level (3.5% in February) to a peak (14.7% in April) not reached since the end of the Second World War. Many small businesses, largely owned by African Americans and other minorities, had to close and food banks suddenly filled up. Can the US economy rebound quickly? How did Donald Trump deal with this unprecedented crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s? Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate in Economics in 2001 and professor at Columbia University, is the guest of “This is America”. Also find the English version of the episode.
