Marketplace

"Marketplace" host Kai Ryssdal speaks with Greg Ip at the Wall Street Journal about growing threats to the Federal Reserve's independence — and why it matters not just for the U.S. economy, but for financial markets around the world. Plus, why investors are chasing riskier bets, how Subway plans to revive flagging sales and what one city is doing to help robotaxis navigate around emergency vehicles.
