About this listen
Food prices are almost 30% higher than they were five years ago. It’s bad. And those new, higher prices aren’t going away.
At the same time, prices are no longer inflating at a wild pace. For the last two years, the rate of inflation has slowed way down. And yet, our fears or feelings that things will spiral out of control again? Those have not slowed down.
This mismatch has been giving us all the... feelings. Inflation feelings. Infeelings.
On our latest show: we sort through our infeeltions. We talk to the economists who have studied us. We learn why our personal inflation calculators don’t always match the professional ones.
