Understanding the hype around GTA VI
<p>Gamers have been waiting more than a decade for the next installment of Grand Theft Auto. Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI finally began last week. Just how big is the release? One report suggests that Grand Theft Auto VI brought in $1 billion in preorders just one hour after launch. "It is probably going to be the most valuable media property in the history of mankind," said Dmitri Williams, a professor at USC Annenberg. But first, we learn about the economic booms and busts of the 20th Century.</p><br/><p>Every story has an economic angle. Want some...
Gene editing technology can help de-extinct some animals — but should it?
<p>Many scientists believe we’re in the midst of a sixth mass extinction brought on by factors like climate change, deforestation, fishing and hunting. The Texas-based company Colossal Biosciences claims its technology could help prevent some of those losses, and even bring back long-extinct species. For the new season of the Marketplace climate podcast, “How We Survive,” host Amy Scott got a virtual tour of their labs.</p>
An underwhelming June jobs report
<p>The Labor Department’s June jobs report came in with just 57,000 new jobs added. Economists expected double that, and while the unemployment rate ticked down, we consider why job growth may be middling. Also in this episode, we look at stagnant wage growth, a start-up that’s looking to de-extinct the woolly mammoth, the “lump of labor” fallacy, Saudi Aramco’s World Cup sponsorship, and a social worker who leads tours to supplement retirement.</p><br/><p>Every story has an economic angle.

A dramatic decline in SNAP enrollment
<p>It's been nearly a year since President Donald Trump's big tax bill. The law makes it harder to qualify for programs like SNAP and includes new work requirements. Some states are already seeing sharp drops in SNAP enrollment as they implement the changes in the law. By some measures, participation in the program is down by nearly 10%. Then, we'll continue to examine the history of the U.S. economy. </p><br/><p>Every story has an economic angle. Want some in your inbox?

Chicago's quantum leap into the future
<p>AI is the buzzy tech of the moment. It's made plenty of money not only for companies but the cities and states where investment is pouring in. Illinois and specifically Chicago are betting that quantum computing will be the next major tech breakthrough to transform the economy. And they're trying to get in on the ground floor. So they’ve turned a former steel mill site into a tech hub, called the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park, with the hope of attracting as much talent and investment as possible. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Jeanne Whalen, economics repo...
Sam doesn't know how to be rich, from “Proxy with Yowei Shaw”
<p>This week, we’re sharing an episode of “Proxy,” a podcast about the emotional questions that make people feel alone — and the conversation that unfolds when you find someone who gets it. </p><br/><p>Sam is a progressive person who suddenly has more money than friends and family — and he doesn’t know how to feel about it. He wants to be generous. He wants to be responsible. He wants to stop feeling guilty and secretive and afraid. But the more he thinks about what money can do, the less clear it becomes what having “enough” is supposed to mean.</p><br...
What would make Kevin Warsh consider a "Fed put?"
<p>It’s unclear what Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh will do regarding interest rates, but would a “Fed put” actually help promote stability in financial markets? Also in this episode, we look at why fewer teens are getting paid jobs, a decline in single-family homebuilding, prediction markets for natural disasters, traffic expanding way beyond rush hour, and the booming cowboy boot market.</p><br/><p>Every story has an economic angle.

How to stop putting off your personal finance tasks
<p>Americans spend, on average, just over 8 minutes a day on financial management — things like budgeting or paying bills — according to a recent paper in the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance. But those few minutes are among the most stressful and least enjoyable parts of the day. So how can we stop that painful procrastination? Reema Khrais, host of Marketplace's "This Is Uncomfortable," joins the show to discuss. Also, we continue our look back at America's economic history and parse some private payroll data.</p><br/><p>Every story has an economic angle. Want some in your inbox? Subscribe to o...
What a Supreme Court decision means for money in politics
<p>The Supreme Court finished its session yesterday with major opinions on birthright citizenship, transgender athlete rights, and campaign finance. We're going to focus on that last one. In National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission, the court struck down limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates. Without those caps, the way parties raise and spend money could quickly change. Plus, we’ll look back on how some provisions from last year's big tax bill have played out.</p><br/><p>Every story has an economic angle. Want some in your inbox? Subscribe to ou...
