  • What "Made in China" actually means
    2025/05/07
    Virtually every product brought into the United States must have a so-called "country of origin." Think of it as the official place it comes from. And this is the country that counts for calculating tariffs.

    But what does it really mean when something is a "Product of China"? How much of it actually comes from China? And how do customs officials draw the line?

    Here in the U.S., the rules are delightfully counterintuitive. A product's country of origin is not necessarily where that product got on the container ship to come here. It's not necessarily where most of its ingredients are from or even where most of the manufacturing happened.

    Our system is much stranger. The answers can be surprisingly philosophical — and at times, even poetic.

    This episode of Planet Money was produced by James Sneed with help from Sylvie Douglis. It was edited by Jess Jiang, fact-checked by Sierra Juarez, and engineered by Kwesi Lee. Alex Goldmark is our executive producer.

  • Why it's so hard to find a public toilet
    2025/05/02
    Why is it so hard to find a bathroom when you need one?

    In the U.S., we used to have lots of publicly accessible toilets. But many had locks on the doors and you had to put in a coin to use them. Pay toilets created a system of haves and have nots when it came to bathroom access. So in the 60s, movements sprung up to ban pay toilets.

    Problem is: when the pay toilets went away, so too did many free public toilets.

    Today on the show, how toilets exist in a legal and economic netherworld; they're not quite a public good, not quite a problem the free market can solve.

    Why we're stuck, needing to go, with nowhere to go.

    This episode was produced by Willa Rubin with help from James Sneed. It was edited by Marianne McCune and engineered by Cena Loffredo. It was fact-checked by Sierra Juarez. Alex Goldmark is our executive producer.

  • Planet Money complains. To learn.
    2025/04/30
    On today's show: we're ... venting.

    We at Planet Money are an ensemble show – each with different curiosities and styles. But we recently realized many of us have something in common: We're annoyed consumers.

    So we're going to get ranty ... but then try to understand the people annoying us. Like stingy coffee shops, manufacturers that don't design things for repair ... and stores that send way too many emails every day.

    Along the way, we learn a very sad thing about satisfaction and the future of skilled labor in the U.S.

    (Also, we should all just stop using umbrellas. They have negative consumption externalities. Come on people.)

    This episode was produced by James Sneed. It was edited by Marianne McCune, fact-checked by Sierra Juarez, and engineered by James Willetts. Alex Goldmark is our executive producer.
