Introduction

The Dig is a weekly podcast from Jacobin Magazine. This week, Daniel Denver talks with Tim Barker about monetary politics and the current economic situation. We also discuss whether loose and unconventional monetary policy caused inflation in the price of assets like stocks and housing. And how the Fed's interest rate hikes are pushing poor indebted countries into debt crisis. The dig is brought to you by our listeners who support us at patreon.com slash the dig.
