Mostly Economics Podcast #8 - Why is Everything So Expensive with Dr. Isabella Weber


Listen Later

Dean Baker speaks with renowned economist Isabella Weber about her influential concept of "sellers' inflation," which examines how firms with market power drive price increases during supply bottlenecks. Weber, an Associate Professor at UMass Amherst, shares her expertise on U.S.-China trade tensions and reflects on the evolution of academic responses to her once-controversial price control proposals.
