Kickstarting the Economy

The news on economic growth is in from the Fed: the diagnosis? Not stellar, but not terrible either. On The Sound of Ideas, we'll hear from some of the finest local economic minds on where the last year has taken us and what we need to kickstart us out of the region-wide slump.

Later in the hour, Daniel Zwerdling, NPR correspondent.
