We are no strangers to inflation, with the cost of living soaring to new records. But what’s really causing inflation? Where are our dollars going and what’s the impact on the economy? On today’s podcast, David Macdonald, a senior economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, returns to discuss his research on why we see inflation and who benefits. David also shares his thoughts on employment, where wages are headed, and whether credit card debt will continue to trend upwards. Tune in for a very informative discussion!
