Groceries & Gouging
from Moody's Talks - Inside Economics Hosted by Matt Colyar, Marisa DiNatale, Mark Zandi, Cris deRitis
With the release of July’s consumer price index this week, the Inside Economics team discusses the current state of U.S. inflation. As they dig into the underlying details, they debate what they see as root causes. Specifically – are corporations taking advantage of consumers by keeping prices higher than they should? If so, are recent policy proposals to address ‘price gouging’ likely to be effective?
