Coronavirus from the Ground & British Tariffs Shakeup
The coronavirus has swept through China, leading to quarantines of major cities. In this episode, we cut through the smoke and get a look from the ground in Beijing with Wang Guan of CGTN to break down what's true and what's just hype. Plus, what could British trade look like post-Brexit throughout Europe and across the Atlantic? We examine and take a unique look at what has gone under-reported in the midst of EU exit.
China and the US have touched base on a host of economic issues, agreeing to "pragmatic" cooperation on things like trade and investment. We take a look at what commerce officials are saying. We also analyze the latest surge in inflation as consumer prices spike to their highest level in more than a decade. And El Salvador has become the first nation on earth to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender.

Our lead story: The job numbers came out this past Friday, and while they weren't abysmal they do point to a potential shift in the job market. Since 2009, more than 1/10 of all job growth has been in the short term staffing industry, otherwise known as "temp jobs." Erin takes a look.
Then, Erin sits down with economist Max Fraad Wolff to get his take on the March job numbers. It doesn't look terrible, but he points to wage growth as a crucial measure that doesn't look very promising. After the break, Erin talks to author and investor Daniel Alpert on his view on why global overcapacity is affecting US labor markets. Tune in to find out what he has to say.
In the Big Deal, Edward Harrison and Erin talk about the wages, jobs, and unemployment and how it fits in to our post-recession recovery.

Our lead story: The world's largest social network, Facebook.com has agreed to purchase the mobile-messaging startup, WhatsApp for $19 billion in stock and cash. Now, if you break down the numbers, the Facebook deal works out to roughly $345 million per WhatsApp employee. You could also look at it as $42 per WhatsApp user, which is likely how Facebook is viewing the deal, as there are 450 million WhatsApp users. Erin Ade reports.
Afterwards, Keith McCullough joins Boom Bust to talk about what the hedge fund world is really like. He then discusses inflation and its effect on the economy and growth in both the US and in emerging markets. McCullough explains that why he thinks that inflation in emerging markets had a huge impact in 2012.
The Trans Pacific Partnership is a far-reaching free trade agreement under negotiation between 12 Pacific Rim countries. Opponents have criticized the negotiations as "a corporate takeover" that will grant big business new authority over government laws when it comes to internet freedom, copyright, and environmental regulations, to just name a few. Erin speaks Ben Beachy of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch to talk about the Public Interest Committee of the TPP and what the problems are with these negotiations.
Wrapping up the show, Erin sits down with Political Commentator Sam Sacks to discuss a Posh Stow and Go, a company that brings the comforts of your toilet at home right to the streets of Manhattan...for a price.

Then, Erin sits down with Raoul Pal, founder of The Global Macro Investor newsletter and Real Vision Television, to talk about the problems with finance news and the democratization of information. Pal is an advocate of disruptive technology in financial services and also has a thing or two to say about the global macro investment climate.
