On today’s episode, NLW looks at the increasingly political discourse around inflation in the United States. The Right is claiming government overspending is to blame while the Left is pushing a new narrative of corporate price gouging. Whatever the case, some commentators are proposing increasingly exotic approaches to solving the inflation issue.
