Dr. Pippa Malmgren, Economist, Policy Advisor

Today, my guest is Dr. Philippa "Pippa" Malmgren, a politics and policy advisor, who is the author of Signals: the breakdown of the social contract and the rise of geopolitics. 

Raised by a father who served in four presidential administrations (Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford), Pippa learned early in her career that the only way to influence public policy is to be able to explain things in plain, everyday language.

Partially inspired by Peter Lynch's famous book on choosing stocks One up on Wall Street, Pippa simplifies complicated economics, fiscal policy and crowdsourcing in a way that even someone like me can understand!
