During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Jeff if it is even possible to measure the amount of economic damage done by governments deciding to shut down the economy?

Jeff says that the true number is immeasurable and that all of the economic damage is self inflicted.

Jason and Jeff discuss how capitalism will still be blamed for the coronavirus outbreak hurting the economy and how the US economy never really recovered from the 2008 financial crisis.
