Debunking Economics - the podcast

Donald Trump has some weird ideas. Building a wall along the southern US border and getting Mexico to pay for it, for example. But, as Steve Keen explains, on other matters Trump’s intuition is right, he just loses the argument with some of the detail. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week the inflation rate in the UK hit one percent. It’s a long way from the high teens of the late seventies and early eighties. In this inaugural episode of The Debunking Economics Podcast, Phil Dobbie suggests that low inflation is a good thing. It means prices aren’t going up. But, Prof. Steve Keen suggests there’s one reason we should be welcoming higher inflation. He also discusses the role of inflation in monetary decisions made by Reserve Banks around the world.
