Episode notes
Inflation after the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine was primarily caused by supply chain interruptions and demand shifts. Raising interest rates can hinder the economy's response to these challenges by making it harder to address structural issues such as housing shortages. In today's economy with significant market power, firms balance current profits with future losses; increasing interest rates reduces the value placed on future losses, incentivizing firms to raise prices.
