ASU Economics Professor Explains How Oil Price Drop Affects The U.S.

The extended reach of coronavirus, a battle for market share between Russia and Saudi Arabia, and reduced demand have sent the price of oil plunging.

Bart Hobijn, professor of economics at Arizona State University, joined The Show to talk about it.
