Students are already asking about AI, and Glenn Hubbard and Tony O’Brien have the economics to answer them. The authors connect today’s headlines to the principles you teach every semester: whether AI will raise or displace wages, why entrepreneurs like NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang matter but aren’t irreplaceable, how national security shapes chip regulation, and why long-term interest rates are rising. They also take up fiscal dominance and the Fed’s independence, making this a timely source of real-world examples for your macroeconomics and money and banking lectures.
