Oil prices have risen steadily for years, but while that used to spell trouble for the U.S. economy, it doesn't any more. Since the U.S. now produces more oil than it has in decades, higher prices benefit a greater share of the U.S. market.

Here & Now's Robin Young speaks with Roben Farzad (@robenfarzad), who hosts "Full Disclosure" on NPR One, on oil's new place in the economy.

This segment aired on March 7, 2018.
