Episode 588: INFLATION 101: Whats Really Going On?-ROBERT POLLIN
b'
I\\u2019m calling this conversation with economist ROBERT POLLIN, INFLATION 101. What\\u2019s really going on? The current bout of inflation is global, not domestic. It\\u2019s higher in other economies than in the US. It\\u2019s primarily due to the global pandemic and Russia\\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. And it may already be over. Yet the Fed seems intent on risking recession to fight it with tools that ignore its real causes.
