EXPENSIVE!
Robert Misik in conversation with Maurice Höfgen
EXPENSIVE!
The truth about inflation, its profiteers and the failure of politics
»Germany's most exciting young economist.«
- Berliner Zeitung
Fuelling, heating, shopping - everything has become more expensive, the inflation rate is at a record high. Will we have to worry even more about our money in the future? Will life become unaffordable? Economic analyst Maurice Höfgen deals with the situation day in, day out and warns against panic, as the current lunar prices are a consequence of the war in Ukraine and the coronavirus pandemic.
Höfgen shows how governments can act to curb inflation. And why the European National Bank's interest rate hikes are doing more harm than good. Making investments more expensive is not appropriate in this situation, but rather the expansion of renewable energies. Stifling the economy, on the other hand, means that people can no longer afford the higher prices and at the same time prevents the necessary reorganisation.
»Expensive!« is a sharp analysis that shows how to correctly interpret the current news situation - and clarifies misunderstandings about inflation.
