25 分钟Hi listeners.
The Economics with Soumaya Keynes is taking a couple of weeks off its usual programming.
So today's episode is from the Bloomberg Podcast, Trumponomics.
The show explores how US President Donald Trump is shaking up the global economy and what will happen next.
Each week, economist and journalist Stephanie Flanders explores these questions with a team of academics and fellow reporters.
Today's episode examines whether taxing America's richest is politically or constitutionally possible.
Search for Trumponomics wherever you listen.
I'll be back here soon.
But for now, enjoy the show.

I'm Stephanie Flanders, head of government and economics at Bloomberg, and this is Trumponomics,
the podcast that looks at everything in the economic world of Donald Trump.

and whether any of the bright ideas being floated for extracting more from the mega-rich would actually work.
It's not only the so-called class warriors who are worrying about wealth taxes these days.
The International Monetary Fund held a war gaming exercise a few months back with around 50 finance and technology experts.
David Ramli wrote about it for Businessweek.
It included folks from Google DeepMind and the RAND Corporation and the Federal Reserve,
and they spent hours debating how AI could upend the global economy in various ways.
