Understanding Today’s Puzzling U.S. Economy
Inflation is high. The GDP has shrunk. But the job market has never been better. The Washington Post's Damian Paletta helps make sense of the U.S. economy today.
Before she died last year at age 84, legendary Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham saw her hometown evolve from a provincial southern city to the capital of the world. Her excitement and fascination with Washington are reflected in a collection of over one hundred writings about her beloved city. Diane talks with her editor, Bob Gottlieb, and her colleagues, Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn, about the just-published Katharine Graham’s Washington.
