How quickly should we open up the economy? We answer big questions like this with Andrew Dougherty (a.k.a. Big Daddy Dough), who is a macro-economist for China (and rapper). We tackle questions from listeners across the world such as: How will the US/China relationship be affected by this pandemic? How will the total lockdown in India affect their economy? How should governments respond to the pandemic?
In this episode you’ll hear two songs that Big Daddy Dough wrote while in his 14-day quarantine in Hong Kong: Quarantine Rap and Quarantine Room Service Breakfast Song. You’ll also hear a song from his parody rap/hip hop album that was featured in this podcast back in 2017.
We also talk about ways we can come together in this pandemic. Please consider donating to this GoFundMe Campaign which helps a humanitarian organization provide food for people in Indian slums. These are people who are unable to afford food with India’s total lockdown. $10 will feed a family for a week!
