higuchi from georgetown university. um, so i you might touch on this in your book, but i wonder if you can enlighten me a little bit about the transnational transfer and the learning of the american ideas and practices of nuclear secrecy and its impact on democracy around the world now. i'm thinking more about the british. here because the obviously that's a case like whitman's information was has been shared, but i'm also thinking about the japanese case, which is not really about nuclear secrecy, but more like a defense information provided by the united states that led to the crisising post what democracy because of the the increased the police power. thank you. thank you so much. toshi. it's good to hear from you. so the book talks a little bit about this but not as much as i would like to me. this is like would require another book probably but there are some discussions about the us and the uk in particular because these are obviously very close. they're both very close in their nuclear programs and they also have

personal expectations like what you captured in the university of michigan -- for me that is the big key. matt: in your career, from johns hopkins to georgetowne university of alabama, you have been the entire time inside this reaganomics bubble. we have had the supply-side economics narrative for the last 40 years. that seems to have changed with this pandemic and -- i guess the last administrator -- the last administration was a big spender as well. all of a sudden modern monetary theory seems to have won the day. how difficult is that make your job? jay: this clearly is a paradigm shift. where are we in terms -- the closest analogue you could look at would be the late 1960's. we did get some inflation out of that. it was the shocks of the 1970's that got inflation starting to head higher. it is a political decision going forward. are we going to get all this infrastructure spending, are we going to get the plan passed or not? we still have a very split congress. even among the 50 senators, there is not unanimity there. the politics is complicated what we are trying to figure out. taylor: how are you thinking within this big paradigm shift
