In the crazy world of 2023 financial markets, this Blockworks Macro's "On the Margin" show interview with Lyn Alden is the best look at inflation I've heard. Blockworks Macro has a YouTube channel where three guys interview all kinds of people on economics, investing, and crypto. Lyn Alden is a researcher of economic and investment data, and you can find her work, and read some free articles, at lynalden.com .
This interview starts with Lyn explaining that the inflation problem now, in the 2020's, is more comparable to the inflation of the 1940's, rather than the 1970's. The interview moves on from there. If you want to understand the whole concept of inflation better, this is a great video/podcast to watch or listen to.
