If you’ve been hearing about inflation but aren’t totally sure what it means—or why everything suddenly got more expensive after the pandemic—this episode is for you.
We break down what inflation actually is and explain the real reasons prices went up: broken supply chains, government stimulus checks, rising wages, and energy shocks. It wasn’t just one thing—it was everything, all at once.
But here’s why this matters now: Fed Chair Jerome Powell is bringing back the word “transitory” to describe inflation again—this time because of tariffs. We explain what that word means, why it caused so much confusion the first time, and why using it again could be a big deal.
This is the first episode in our Fed Deep Dive series—where we connect the dots between the past, present, and what the Fed might do next.
