Ryan caught up with the former treasury secretary — and thorn in the
side of Biden White House economists — Larry Summers on the sidelines of
the Aspen Security Forum for a wide-ranging interview about last 18
months of economic debates, why so many policymakers got the inflation
debate wrong, what Summers thinks about Joe Manchin blowing up Build
Back Better over inflation concerns, what Biden — and Pelosi — are
getting wrong in their approach to China, and why we are almost
certainly headed into a painful recession.
