Bradley Distinguished Lecture Series
June 11 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm CDT
Inflation
John H. Cochrane, Rose-Marie and Jack Anderson Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution, Stanford University
Where did the 2021-2022 surge of inflation come from? How can we avoid a repeat? What lessons does the inflation surge have for today’s policies? How will tariffs affect the economy, with a special eye on inflation? How should the Fed respond? What dangers lie ahead resulting from huge debt and deficits? What will happen in the next crisis or recession – which may come sooner than you think. How much control does the Fed have over the economy? Dr.Cochrane will address these and related questions.
