The Economist Podcasts

President Biden wants a big infrastructure bill to follow the stimulus cash he has handed out. It would add up to a $5 trillion overhaul of America. A splurge on this scale has long been taboo in mainstream politics. Is big government back?

John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Jon Fasman.
