Why is our food so expensive now? James Meadway explains. We also discuss the link between inflation and trade unions, and the current wave of strikes in the UK right now.

James has held senior roles at the New Economics Foundation and the Progressive Economy Forum. He hosts the weekly economics podcast Macrodose.

This interview forms a part of an upcoming episode on whether high food prices (still) make us angry. Be sure to check that out in the New Year!

Mixing and music from Forest DLG.
