Inflation, Europe's energy crisis, and the Fed with Richard Wolff | The Chris Hedges Report
The Real News with Chris Hedges, posted on December 2, 2022.
Read the transcript of this interview: https://therealnews.com/richard-wolff-the-feds-response-to-inflation-is-another-upward-transfer-of-wealth
The Federal Reserve has responded to runaway inflation by hiking up interest rates at the same time that Americans are drowning in historic levels of personal debt. With interest rates up, prices will only rise faster than wages, hitting the vast majority of people with stagnant or declining wages in real terms. The result is yet another upward transfer of wealth to the minority of capitalists responsible for the crisis in the first place. Economist Richard Wolff joins The Chris Hedges Report to discuss the origins of the inflation crisis, the Fed's response, and what this all means for working people.
Richard D. Wolff is Professor of Economics Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and a Visiting Professor in the Graduate Program in International Affairs at the New School. He is the host of the weekly program Economic Update, and the author of several books, including his most recent title, The Sickness in the System: When Capitalism Fails To Save Us From Pandemics or Itself.
