Inflation, Gas Prices, Deficits, AI & More | University of Michigan Economist Justin Wolfers Joins Susan Demas

"The greatest failing is to stand there watching society move under your feet and doing nothing with no awareness, no intention, no strategy and no policy."

Today, we woke up to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that inflation hit 3.8%, the highest rate since 2023.

There was no better person to talk to about this than Justin Wolfers, professor of Public Policy and Economics at the University of Michigan. He joined Susan J. Demas today on Lincoln Square and put our economy in historical context and discussed tariffs, the housing market, gas prices, the AI revolution and more. And yes, Donald Trump figured heavily into the conversation.
