Inflation Is Up—Temporary Bedfellow or Long-term Partner? | Off the Clock
from Think Like An Economist · host Platypus Economics
The work week may be over, but the economy really never takes time off. In this week’s episode of Off the Clock, Justin Wolfers and Stacey Vanek Smith help you cut through the noise and figure out what you should actually care about from this week’s economic news. They skip the SpaceX hype and dig into the stuff that shapes your real life—inflation eating into your paycheck and the slow-motion crisis threatening Social Security. Justin argues this is the biggest story no one is talking about. They also discuss the World Cup ticket debacle—and whether prices are always the most efficient way to distribute our scarce resources.
