On this episode of Nemo Nation, hosts Dave Nemo and Jimmy Mac sit down with economist, attorney, and professor Howard Yaruss to unpack the complex world of economics in a clear, jargon-free way. Drawing from his new book Understandable Economics: Because Understanding Our Economy is Easier Than You Think and More Important Than You Know (out August 5th), Howard answers the pressing questions everyone’s asking: How do tariffs really impact prices and jobs? What’s behind inflation, and how can it be controlled? Are government deficits a threat? Could cryptocurrencies replace the dollar?

From soaring inequality to fears of recession, this conversation delivers practical insight and straight talk on the policies shaping our economy—and what they mean for you. Whether you’re an economics novice or just looking for clarity in uncertain times, Howard’s expertise shines a light on how the system works and how we can all better navigate it.
