The Real Economic Impact of the Iran War | Peter St Onge & Michelle Makori
Description
Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief, Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Peter St Onge, economist at the Heritage Foundation, to break down the real economic consequences of the Iran war and what it could mean for the U.S. economy, oil markets, inflation, and global financial stability.
Peter St Onge explains why the economic impact of the war may not fall where many expect and why the biggest risks may lie in oil markets, the global dollar system, and hidden vulnerabilities in the financial system.
Peter also breaks down what oil prices would need to do to truly trigger a recession and why energy shocks historically play a critical role in economic downturns.
