At a time when the old economic playbook has been thrown out the window, we wanted to do something different with our summer issue. In our cover story, 13 prominent economists and thinkers define the post-pandemic economic era—and propose a name for it. Our “winner” was Fuzzynomics, a term coined by FP’s own Antoine van Agtmael to invoke an age of big spending and no rules, but we’d love to hear which one is your favorite. You’ll have the chance to hear from some of the contributors to this story at an upcoming event,[FP Live: The New Economics Playbook]( hosted by our editor in chief, Ravi Agrawal. Don’t forget to register for that and also for a conversation on rethinking migration and development in Central America. --------------------------------------------------------------- NEW FROM FP [unnamed] [Summer Cover Story: Fuzzynomics and 12 Other Attempts to Name Our New Era]( In the summer issue of FP magazine, we asked 13 leading economists and thinkers to capture the post-pandemic era and give it a name. FP senior advisor Antoine van Agtmael, who coined the term “emerging markets,” has done it again with his pithy summation of the West’s conviction that it can spend itself out of trouble: Fuzzynomics. As governments try out novel ways to contain the pressures of inflation, professor Stephanie Kelton dubs this the experimental economy. And FP senior correspondent Michael Hirsh offers up Bidenomics, a new form of economic nationalism. Read the cover story, and then don’t miss these guests in conversation with FP’s editor in chief, Ravi Agrawal, on how to define these unprecedented times on July 15 at 11 a.m. EDT.
