Private money, public trust: The stablecoin battle

Épisode 2

mardi 10 mars 2026 • Durée 28:55

What makes money… money? And who should we trust to issue it?

In this episode of Econ To Go, Neale Mahoney sits down with Stanford finance professor Amit Seru to explore the tug-of-war over the future of money. Stablecoins promise fast, low-cost digital payments, but Seru explains why they function much like narrow banks — vulnerable to runs if confidence erodes. The conversation examines the GENIUS Act’s attempt to add guardrails for this unique type of crypto, the risks of delegating core financial functions to private issuers, and why trust remains the foundation of any stable currency. We cover several key themes, including:

(01:10) What’s at stake: Stablecoins and the future of money
(05:35) The GENIUS Act: What it does, what it doesn’t
(09:44) Run risk, backstops and regulatory gaps
(14:34) Private innovation and public power
(20:40) American trust in digital money
(26:50) To buy or not to buy

The hidden backbone: The data behind the economy

Épisode 3

mardi 24 mars 2026 • Durée 26:26

How do we know what’s really happening in the economy?

In this episode of Econ To Go, Neale Mahoney sits down with labor economist Erika McEntarfer, former head of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, to explore the public data system behind the numbers we hear every day, like inflation, unemployment, and GDP. McEntarfer explains why America’s statistical system is widely considered the global gold standard, but also why it’s facing new pressures from rising survey costs, declining response rates, threats to independence, and limited budgets. We explore several key themes, including:

(01:14) Challenges and opportunities in the economic data system
(05:30) Public vs. private data
(09:14) Modernizing the data system
(18:03) Implications of firing your chief statistician
(23:53) Can we trust the data?

Medical mistrust: Why representation matters

Épisode 4

mardi 7 avril 2026 • Durée 24:06

How does trust — or the lack of it — shape who gets care, and what outcomes they experience?

In this episode of Econ To Go, Neale Mahoney sits down with Stanford physician-economist and MacArthur Fellow Marcella Alsan to explore how trust and representation shape the U.S. health care system. Her research shows that historical events like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study continue to affect healthcare use and health outcomes today, and that trust isn’t abstract, it’s measurable. The conversation also highlights how trust can be built, how underrepresentation in clinical trials can influence both physician behavior and patient trust, and other key themes, including:

(01:33) The mistrust problem
(06:50) Representation as remedy
(12:18) Clinical trials and trust in data
(24:04) Eroding trust across the system

Tariffs and trade: A turning point for globalization

Épisode 5

mardi 21 avril 2026 • Durée 30:13

Are we entering a new era of globalization?

In this episode of Econ To Go, Neale Mahoney sits down with Stanford trade economist Stephen Redding to unpack the sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs in 2025 and 2026, and what it signals for the global economy. Redding explains why the scale of recent changes stands out historically, and how trade policy is becoming more persistent and more weaponized, shaped by concerns around supply chains, geopolitical tensions and critical technologies.

The conversation also explores what tariffs are designed to do — and why economists often view them as a blunt tool, with costs that ripple through consumers, firms, and global trade flows. Along the way, we explore several key themes, including:

(01:24) The scale of recent tariff changes
(04:55) When tariffs are used, and why
(14:30) The economist’s view of tariffs
(19:58) The benefits of trade and who is left behind
(26:56) Rethinking policy and the path forward

Beyond rhetoric: Immigration in America

Épisode 6

mardi 5 mai 2026 • Durée 24:45

What’s the untold story of immigration in the United States? Are our beliefs misconceptions or truths?

In this episode of Econ To Go, Neale Mahoney sits down with Stanford economist Ran Abramitzky to unpack some of the most persistent myths about immigration — and what the evidence shows instead. Drawing on decades of data, Abramitzky breaks down how immigrants and their children fare over time, how assimilation works in practice, and why common narratives about crime and economic impact often miss the mark. Along the way, we explore several key themes, including:

(01:28) Debunking common myths about immigration
(03:11) Upward mobility and the children of immigrants
(08:11) What cultural assimilation looks like
(11:16) Immigration rhetoric and the facts on crime

Morality, money and markets

Épisode 7

mardi 19 mai 2026 • Durée 26:22

What should — and shouldn’t — be for sale?

In this episode of Econ To Go, Neale Mahoney sits down with Stanford economist and Nobel laureate Alvin Roth to explore “moral economics,” the subject of his new book and the idea that markets are not just driven by prices, but shaped by human values. From debates over “repugnant transactions” like surrogacy and prostitution to the real-world design of kidney exchange systems, Roth unpacks how markets evolve, where they break down, and why thoughtful design and social support are essential to making them work. Along the way, we cover several key topics, including:

(01:33) Markets as human artifacts
(03:25) The moral boundaries of markets and trade
(08:14) The economics of kidney exchange
(19:03) Why markets need social support (and thoughtful regulation)
(22:40) Designing markets — from prostitution to Uber

Financial Literacy: Get ahead or fall behind

Épisode 8

mardi 2 juin 2026 • Durée 27:41

Why do people with similar incomes and education levels end up with vastly different financial outcomes?

In this episode of Econ To Go, Neale Mahoney sits down with Stanford economist Annamaria Lusardi to explore what people actually understand about money, and why financial literacy has become an essential skill in today’s increasingly complex economy. A pioneer in the field, Lusardi explains how gaps in financial knowledge shape everything from day-to-day decisions to long-term wealth and how early exposure, education and regulation make a difference. Along the way, we explore several key themes, including:

(01:27) Why financial literacy is a must-have in today’s economy
(04:09) Education vs. regulation: who is responsible for protecting consumers
(08:45) Why personal finance is deeply personal
(12:04) A 7-step financial health checkup
(21:13) Where consumers are most at risk
