Why This US Government Shutdown Is Different

This week’s episode of Trumponomics explores why the current US government shutdown may be different from previous iterations, why it may last longer than most and how it could end up triggering a recession. 

With the shutdown in its second week, host Stephanie Flanders, head of government and economics, and her guests Matthew Glassman, senior fellow at the Government Affairs Institute at Georgetown University, and Anna Wong, chief US economist for Bloomberg Economics, discuss how this standoff is actually a deeper struggle over presidential power.
