Jim Grant, Steve Moore: Trump’s Potential and How to Beat the “New Normal”
Fergus Hodgson, 8 September 2016 
The new normal is a term bandied about within the think-tank world, and it describes the weak performance of the US economy for the better part of the last decade. Stephen Moore, a distinguished visiting fellow with the Heritage Foundation and advisor to Donald Trump, explains how to get out of this and the potential for a new boom era. James Grant, founder and editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, discusses the macroeconomic implications of the non-recovery.
