What's going on with the economy? Are we in a recession or not? Inflation and rising interest rates are in the news every day. Global events, like the war in Ukraine have shifted geopolitics. Mid-term elections are around the corner. How can we understand what's going on now and what might come in the months and years ahead? Join distinguished economists from UC Irvine and the San Francisco Federal Reserve for a virtual discussion on these and other related topics.
