Think Tanks and the Policy Ecosystem 

This week on Facing the Future, Bob discussed interest rates, inflation, the Federal Reserve, and more with Gordon Gray, Executive Director of the recently founded Pinpoint Policy Institute. An experienced political and policy staffer, Gray walked through what the Fed might be thinking about whether it’s time to begin lowering interest rates and the external factors affecting their actions. Later in the show, outgoing Concord Coalition Policy Director Tori Gorman joined Bob for an exit interview and some reflections on her career including Social Security reform. This month, Gorman moves on to a position at the Congressional Research Service. Concord Coalition Chief Economist Steve Robinson also joined the discussion.
