Register for Dialogue
America’s rate of inflation has hit its highest level in more than 30 years. After decades of only minimal price increases, the annual inflation rate has reached 7%. Heating costs have risen sharply over the last year. Experts blame supply chain disruptions, rising wages and government stimulus checks for the sudden spikes in prices and energy costs. This Dialogue discussion will try to get to the bottom of the trend, predict what lies ahead and look at what, if anything, policy makers can do about it.
Featuring:
Ned Hill, Professor of Economic Development, John Glenn College of Public Affairs
Robert Rich, Senior Economic and Policy Advisor, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
Moderated by:
Trevor Brown, Dean, John Glenn College of Public Affairs
