Felix Salmon Upstreaming
Listened to Money for the first in some years on Saturday. Felix Salmon is a hard-to-listen-to host. He drones on and on in an “as-I-discuss-in-my-book” sort of way, mansplaining at length—in a British accent, no less. It’s very unclear why Elizabeth Spiers and Emily Peck appear on the show: Salmon’s job is to collaborate in discussions with and make them seem smart. He fails in both of these jobs, meandering in his own remarks in such a way that his co-hosts find themselves in cul-de-sacs when he deigns to allow them to speak. Ironically, Salmon’s stemwinders are so obscure and nonlinear that it’s not clear what he or anyone else knows or is trying to say, in this case about Fox’s dismissal of Tucker Carlson or Elon Musk…blowing up rockets and social media platforms and stuff. Two stars because, who knows?, Emily and Elizabeth might actually have something to say.

Not your usual economics so I can make money in the market. This looks at things from a broader perspective and, thanks to Cathy, brings a moral dimension to the conversation.
