China's economy is projected to grow by four percent this year, a rate that many countries would envy. But with China's track record, that number could actually be a harbinger of bad news. On today's show, Adam and Cameron discuss the mechanics of the Chinese economy and why it's unlike any other in the world.
Also on the show: Golf has been described as a game of strenuous idleness. How did it become an $84 billion industry in the United States?
And... Adam and Cameron will be doing a live taping of the show in New York City on October 25th! This is the podcast's first-ever live show, at an intimate venue on the Lower East Side.
