Good Talks: What CPI/Inflation Report Really Means, Is The Middle Class "Disappearing", & more w/ Stephen Popick

On this Heard Tell Good Talks, our guest is economist & friend Stephen Popick who answers questions and get to the plain meaning of the Consumer Price Index report, inflation, political spin, and economic angst. Stephen talks us through what projections economist got right, what they got wrong, and what surprised as energy costs eased but food, good, and services all increased. Stephen also takes on the contention that the middle class is "disappearing" and the economic effects of women in the work force not just historically, but the large movement in numbers during the COVID shutdowns. Stephen also takes on the big questions of what comes next, have we seen the worst of economic hard times, or is there more trouble on the way.
