Economics Webinar 3: Inflation 101 (July 20, 2022 | 2–3 p.m. ET)

Inflation, some say, is the “poor’s tax” since it directly punishes the savings of those who have the least. It is also a “fair tax” because it hits everyone equally, but what is inflation really? In this session, we will explore how it originates, its uses as an instrument of monetary policy, how it affects us, and how it can be dealt with.

Speaker: Antonio Saravia

Pre-webinar assignment (optional): Read these two articles (one and two) and answer the following questions: What causes inflation? What's one solution for helping balance return? Does inflation happen evenly? If a whole society’s money supply increased, would the society be better off?
