ECIPE Webinar: The Health of the Economy – Inflation, Regulation, and How to Fix Europe’s Underperforming Economic Growth
Join our conversation with renowned economist John Cochrane as we explore inflation, deficits, and potential economic policies under a second Trump administration.
What is happening to the economy in America and Europe? Price levels have gone up substantially in the past years – and while many want to declare an end to the cycle of inflation, have we really grasped what factors actually forced a sharp rise in prices? Early in 2023, the great economist John Cochrane released a new and profound book, The Fiscal Theory of the Price Level, that challenged classic explanations of inflation and deflation. With remaining high deficits in the US and growing deficit-debts problems in countries like France, what should we expect happen in the near future? All the countries in Europe suffering from low or no economic growth – what should they do? And yes – Trump! What economic policies are a second Trump administration expected to pursue, and how will they effect that state of the economy?
