Econ 101: Prices Are Information | This Week's Economy Ep. 121


Listen Later

It’s time to set the record straight on prices. They’re not just random numbers set by sellers—they’re powerful signals that reflect what the market is willing to pay for goods and services.

In this episode of This Week’s Economy, I break down why prices matter and why policymakers need to tread carefully.
