There's a word economists really hate saying out loud. The IMF just handed the world three possible futures - weaker, worse, and severe - and in the worst case, it says we're on the brink of that word. A war in the Middle East, oil at $100 a barrel, and the sharpest global warning in years. On today’s podcast, we're asking one of Australia's sharpest economic minds, economist from The Australia Institute Greg Jericho, on whether it's time to start saying it out loud.

Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Emma Gillespie
Guest: Greg Jericho, Chief Economist of the Australia Institute
Producer: Rosa Bowden
