AskProfWolff: Money and Inflation in Today's US

A Patron of Economic Update asks: "Prof. Wolff, what is the current inflation rate in US? I see on the gov't sites as being 1.4% but after we printed all that new money last year plus prices of goods/services increase, wouldn't it be around 10-20%?"

This is Professor Richard Wolff's video response.
