The Broken Economy of Washington DC
Manage episode 445137322 series 2780780
Washington D.C. is home to the world's largest and most powerful economy. Still, most people don’t realize that this federal district is also one of the most complex and productive local economies globally.
In this video, we dive deep into the fascinating economics of Washington D.C.. How its strange status fuels a massive local economy, and why calls for it to become a state are intensifying. How its wealth paradoxically creates some of the worst inequality in the U.S. We’ll also explore how the unique structure of D.C. skews its economic measurements and what would happen if it gained independence as a state.
