With inflation soaring and the central bank raising interest rates, many are wondering about the relationship between unemployment and inflation. I explain the original Phillips curve and how it was debunked in the 70's. Finally, I explain what the new Phillips curve says.

The inflation reduction act was recently signed. But behind the confusing name and the range of different policies included, it can be difficult to figure out exactly what the impact of this bill will be. I give a simplified explanation of what this bill is about. How it won't really affect inflation, and how it's mainly a climate change bill. Finally I explain how this bill will be paid for: via additional taxes on firms and a big budget upgrade for the IRS.

With inflation so high, many are drawing comparisons to the huge inflation we saw in the 1970's. In this video I explain what led up to the "great inflation" of the 1970s as well as what makes the situation back then different from today.

With construction costs going through the roof, many want to believe that they will go down soon.

Finally, I explain why construction costs are likely to continue rising although at a slower pace for the coming years.
