<p><a href="https://finance.thedailyaus.com.au/?modal=signup">Sign up to our finance newsletter here.</a></p> <p>There's a word economists really hate saying out loud. The IMF just handed the world three possible futures - weaker, worse, and severe - and in the worst case, it says we're on the brink of that word. A war in the Middle East, oil at $100 a barrel, and the sharpest global warning in years. On today&rsquo;s podcast, we're asking one of Australia's sharpest economic minds, economist from The Australia Institute Greg Jericho, on whether it's time to start saying it out loud.</p> <p>Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Emma Gillespie<br />Guest: Greg Jericho, Chief Economist of the Australia Institute<br />Producer: Rosa Bowden</p> <p>Want to support The Daily Aus?
