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.

His new memoir, subtitled "Finding Myself in America," explains why this decision was so difficult.
