The numbers say inflation is under control. Not everyone is convinced. The 1970s had three waves of inflation. Each time authorities declared victory, the next wave came back worse. Could the same sequence be setting up again today?

In this episode, Siyamak sits down with Jeffrey Tucker, president of the Brownstone Institute and senior economic contributor for The Epoch Times, to examine what the current data is actually showing beneath the surface numbers. Tucker explains why the standard way of reading inflation right now may be obscuring the real trend. He also walks through what to watch as these forces continue to unfold.
