  • Paul, hello, how are you?

  • I'm fine.

  • It's snowing heavily in New York, but I am not in New York, so I am doing fine.

  • So today we're recording an episode that's a little different to the others in this series.

  • We've talked about Trump's America,

  • we've talked about mail employment in the US, and we talked about China and Europe.

  • But now we put the onus on you, the listener, to tell us what to talk about.

  • That's right.

  • We're going to answer listeners' questions, some of which expand on subjects we've discussed,

  • others that come a little more out of left field.

  • And if I read correctly, a few out of right field as well.

  • Well, as you said before, Paul, the Q&A is often the best part.

  • So let's get going.

  • Hello, I'm Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times.

  • And I'm Paul Krugman, Professor at the City University of New York.
