Economist Stays Bullish on U.S., Likes Path of Biden’s IRA

“I don’t know if not cooperating with China in key industries such as microchips and minerals-processing is wise. We all know that China and the U.S. are intertwined in many ways. I think rupturing that would be a tectonic change,” says Paul Gruenwald, global chief economist at S&P Global Ratings.
