SUPD 61 Greg Brew on Oil Wars / Christine Romans on Corona Virus' impact to the economy

Mar 11, 2020

His work explores the connections between the formation of a global oil economy and much more and he had an amazing twitter thread that went viral which started

So why does this matter?"

I also spoke with CNN's Chief Business Correspondent and co host of Early Start on CNN Christine Romans.  Christine and I discussed the current and potential economic impacts of the pandemic and where we go from here.
