Economist Christian Briggs GDP/Stagflation Coverage 

With fourth-quarter 2025 GDP revised down to just 0.7% annualized and inflation still running close to 3%, many Americans are feeling what economists fear most: a slow‑growth economy with stubbornly high prices – the textbook setup for stagflation. Your recent coverage on the GDP report and rising recession fears is exactly where Christian Briggs believes the conversation needs to go next: from headlines to “now what?” for savers, retirees, and small business owners.

Christian can:

  • Decode the 0.7% Q4 GDP number in plain English and explain why “slowing but not collapsing” can still feel like a recession on Main Street.
  • Lay out what a stagflationary environment typically does to stocks, bonds, housing, and the dollar – and why this backdrop historically favors hard assets.
  • Offer practical, non‑alarmist steps viewers can take to protect purchasing power if growth stays weak while prices and rates remain elevated.
  • Discuss how policy choices in 2026 – from the Fed’s next moves to fiscal responses – could either defuse stagflation fears or lock them in.

Christian’s style is clear, data‑driven, and accessible for a general audience. He’s available for live or taped segments, short notice or in‑depth discussions, and can provide follow‑up charts or talking points for your producers. He is open to in-studio as well.
