It has been a rocky week for the U.S. economy, with record high inflation reports and the Federal Reserve increasing benchmark interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point. This is the steepest hike in close to thirty years. In this episode, Adam and Cam make sense of this spike and ponder what the Biden administration should do to curb inflation – if anything.

Adam and Cam analyze why right-wing economics has been such a large part of Colombian history and what Petro’s proposed policies could do for the country.
