In this episode of RANE’s Essential Geopolitics podcast, Emily Donahue speaks to Michael Monderer, RANE’s senior analyst for global economics about inflation. If you live in the United States you probably noted several trends during the latter part of 2021. (Not just Covid). But the empty shelves, the ongoing supply chain mess that’s slowing manufacturing and sales.

Monderer explains what's behind rising inflation in the U.S. and how long it could last.
