Wir brauchen eine kritische Wirtschaftswissenschaft - mehr denn je! Mit Exploring Economics stärken wir alternative ökonomische Ansätze und setzen der Mainstream-VWL ein kritisches und plurales Verständnis von ökonomischer Bildung entgegen. Außerdem liefern wir Hintergrundanalysen zu akuellen ökonomischen Debatten, um einen kritischen Wirtschaftsdiskurs zu stärken.
Doch leider geht uns das Geld aus, um unsere Arbeit fortzusetzen.
Mit einem kleinen Beitrag kannst Du Exploring Economics unterstützen, online zu bleiben. Danke!

The podcast discusses how to deal with the rising inflation and presents a comparative perspective between the US and the EMU. Basically the speakers discuss whether we are heading to a stagflation in Europe similar to the 1970s and they compare the macroeconomic dynamics in the United States vs. the EMU. They mention that in the US, economic growth and inflation have a co-movement as expected by textbook economics, while in the EMU they hit in opposite directions, meaning slow growth and rising inflation. While in the EMU, the supply side plays the main role, namely rising inflation is mainly attibuted to the rising energy and food prices, however in the US, the demand side of inflation also partly plays a role due to the large fiscal stimulus in the US. They also compare the labour market and wage growth in the two regions, the possible second round effects of rising inflation, like wage-price spirals and, finally, the restricted power of the monetary policy to effect the cost inflation and alternative policy tools, institutional differences of Federal Reserve and the ECB.
The podcast offers a good overview and the debate about the recent macroeconomic dynamics, namely on inflation, economic growth rate and labour market from a comparative perspective juxtaposing the US and the EMU. The speakers discuss the role and the powers of monetary policy in a situation of supply side inflation and slow growth.
