Kai talks to Adam Posen, president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, about the headwinds facing China’s economy.
It’s been nearly four years since we went into pandemic lockdowns, which means it’s been four years since people tried to buy their way through incredible lifestyle shifts. Some of those big-ticket purchases have come with regrets. Used home gym equipment has flooded the market at dirt cheap prices. There are pizza ovens and outdoor heaters for everyone’s outdoor gatherings. And some people who fled cities now regret the big lifestyle change they made to buy a home. Now with mortgage rates the way they are, they’re stuck. Marketplace’s Kristin Schwab looks at the stuff, big or small, that people regret buying long ago

On Point
- Monday, Feb 12: We’ve all seen the annoying pop-ups that show up every time we’re online. Now, Google is planning to phase out those third-party cookies on its Chrome browser by the end of the year. We explore how that’s frustrating advertisers and helping Google grow its ad monopoly power.
- Tuesday, Feb 13: Hospitals are required by law to post their prices online, but only about 36 percent of hospitals are fully complying. When hospitals hide prices, it enables them to charge different prices to different people. We hear why Congress and now even employers are saying, no more.
- Friday, Feb 16: What happens when you’re charged with being a witch? There was the 17th century trial of an indigenous Sámi woman accused of murder on Vardø island, Norway, in the 1620s. And the case against a young religious zealot named Marie-Catherine Cadière in 18th century France. We’ll explore some lesser-known witch trials with Marion Gibson, professor of Renaissance and magical literature and author of “Witchcraft: A History in Thirteen Trials.” What can these accused women’s stories tell us about fear, conspiracy, gender and power — even today?
