Listen "RSM’s Joe Brusuelas on What to Watch in Uncertain Economic Times"

Episode Synopsis

Joe Brusuelas, chief economist for RSM, speaks with MMG's editor-in-chief about what U.S. middle-market managers should be watching as the economy slows and risk factors mount, notably the trade dispute with China. He weighs in on the likelihood of a 2019 recession in the U.S., the impact of the Fed's decision to pause its rate hikes, and how to plan for NAFTA modernization.

Brusuelas also discusses his middle-market reading recommendations: a paper from the San Francisco Federal Reserve titled “How Much Could Negative Rates Have Helped the Recovery?”, and “Capitalism without Capital: The Rise of the Intangible Economy” by Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake.
