Description

Economist Mohamed A. El-Erian explains his concern that inflation exacerbated by the pandemic response will persist and says the Federal Reserve must take action or risk missing “the window.”  
El-Erian tells host Margaret Hoover, "The minute you have a whiff of persistent inflation — and I think we have much more than a whiff right now — you've got to do something about it." El-Erian also breaks down the Evergrande crisis in China, discusses the changing nature of the workforce, and reflects on the “huge shock” his daughter gave him that made him revisit his priorities.
