This week, The Indicator examined how economic policy and market forces reshape lives across different scales: from a laid-off labor economist navigating joblessness to nations grappling with inflation and growth. The episodes reveal recurring tensions between what we measure, what we tax, and what we're willing to pay for—whether it's AI innovation, space exploration, or a seat at the World Cup.
