Judd Cramer, a Harvard economist and co-author of a paper on inflation metrics, challenges common economic perceptions. He explains how traditional inflation measures overlook the staggering impact of soaring interest rates on everyday costs. As housing prices rise, the true cost of living, especially in terms of mortgages and loans, is often misrepresented. Cramer argues that this disconnect fuels economic anxiety and questions the validity of current economic indicators, offering a fresh perspective on what really drives consumer sentiment.
