The economy is once again back in the news with stories of inflation, supply chain issues, and labor shortages. While Democrats attempt to spin this state of affairs as evidence of a post-COVID recovery, Republicans seek to paint a picture of doom and gloom. With these contradictory narratives abroad, we talk to economist Jack Rasmus about the current outlook for the American economy. What explains the issue of labor shortages? What explains the supply chain issues? And how serious is the threat of inflation? Jack Rasmus Dr. Jack Rasmus, Ph.D Political Economy, teaches economics at St. Mary’s College in California.
