How Inflation Ends: Painfully

High prices for just about everything are making us all suffer–and there’s no end in sight. Why is inflation hanging on for so long, and when will it finally let go? The answer is…complicated. Fortunately Tom Orlik, Bloomberg’s chief economist, is here to cut through the confusion. He joins Wes to explain what’s happening to the economy in the US and around the world, and where things are headed.

Plus, Wes heads to the Rose Avenue Bakery in Washington DC to see firsthand how a small business is getting creative to stay afloat–and even thrive–during these chaotic times.
