<p>Things we learned in school: 1) always guess C and 2) never underestimate the importance of highly intricate supply chain economics and their trickle down effects on business.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>This week on Morning Brew’s <em>Business Casual</em> podcast,</strong> Geoffrey Garrett, dean of UPenn’s prestigious Wharton School, explains what’s at stake for our globalized economy in the wake of COVID-19. We called in the best in the Ivy League for this one, since there are a lot of moving parts:</p><ul><li>First, we were concerned about supply as China’s countless manufacturing facilities went offline to observe social distancing and slow COVID’s spread.</li><li>Then, we got worried about demand as Western countries shuttered entire economies and consumer spending hit a wall.</li></ul><p>So...now what should we furrow our brows over? Dean Garrett has all the answers. It’s like getting a degree from Wharton, but without the rich mahogany smell.</p><p>Listen now and let us know what you think.</p>
