Inflation Pt. 2 – Yet Another Oil Crisis‪…‬ Expanding Economics

This episode is part two of a three-part series on inflation. As inflationary pressures continue to rise throughout the world, we look at how we got here, what it signals for future economic outcomes and what economic theory does or does not have to say about it.
 
In this episode, we discuss the current oil crisis and what it signals as to the future of regards to natural resources, energy and the sustainability movement. How does our systematic dependency on oil effect consumers? Who gets disproportionately affected? Will this crisis expedite the energy transition or is this just wishful thinking?
 
While there are no easy solutions in the short run, we find it essential to think about how this current crisis is yet another sign to take action and rethink the way we power our lives.
