Key to Gov. Charlie Baker's plan to restart the Massachusetts economy is the notion that getting back to work and combatting COVID-19 are two imperatives that must go hand-in-hand; we cannot have one without the other.

For perspective on this and the state's economic future, WBUR's Morning Edition spoke to Ken Rogoff, a professor of economics and public policy at Harvard University, and former chief economist and director of research at the International Monetary Fund.

This segment aired on May 20, 2020.
