 Last year, the U.S. economy ended up with about 2 % income growth and about 2½ % inflation. What are the expectations for this year? Should we expect (1) resilience (broadly similar performance to 2025), (2) stagflation (slower income growth, higher inflation – say, due the impact of tariffs) or (3) recession (a decline in income, say due to the bursting of an AI bubble)?

Hear the views of:

• Peter Coy, former Businessweek and New York Times columnist;
• Betsey Stevenson, Michigan professor and former CEA member and chief economist, Department of Labor.
