Which Policy Fights Will Define 2026? | This Week's Economy Ep. 146

​As we turn the page on another year, the questions facing the economy aren’t abstract—they’re deeply personal. 

Families are watching prices, businesses are weighing risk, and policymakers are deciding whether the year ahead will bring stability or more uncertainty. The choices made in the months ahead will shape not just headlines, but real lives and livelihoods.

In this episode of This Week’s Economy, I look ahead to 2026 and lay out the policy battles most likely to define the year. From trade and inflation to artificial intelligence, these decisions will determine whether we move toward prosperity or remain stuck in cycles of dysfunction. I urge leaders to return to the basic economic principles that work—and to choose policies that let people prosper in the year ahead.
