This from the article:
"The second source of inflation, which is the most important, I think, and most neglected by the economics profession is what I call the abusive market power and price setting behavior of key players in the economy. Think of big pharma, think of the energy companies, think of companies that have high degrees of market concentration that allows them actually to set prices simply because they can, because there isn’t enough competition, because consumers don’t have a choice… "
The dangers of corporate conglomerates . . . the reason for laws against monopolies should also apply to corporate conglomerates. Spiraling into WWII in Germany there was excessive industrial influence and control of government.
Listening . . . to learn something about the nuts and bolts of economics.
