Teachers, here's a GREAT (and short) breakdown of the causes of the recent high inflation and some excellent summaries of the many different arguments about those causes.
Inflation hit 8.6% today! What’s to blame? The pandemic? War? Low interest rates? @JohnHCochrane (AKA the Grumpy Economist) pins inflation down to one core reason: Government borrowing and spending. npr.org/1104293317
