About the Program
Price inflation is now at a 40-year high in the United States and has become the main economic concern for the average American.
Thomas L. Hogan will examine the root causes of inflation and how political considerations, such as climate change and income inequality, have distracted the Federal Reserve in carrying out its legally mandated goals of maximum employment and stable prices.
