Rohan Grey on Spending & Inflation

In this episode, Rohan L. Grey, Assistant Professor of Law at Willamette University College of Law, discusses his new article "Public Spending, Price Stability, and the Green Transition: A Reassessment," which is published in the George Washington Journal of Energy and Environmental Law. Grey begins by explaining why inflation is a policy problem and how we have historically tried to manage it. He identifies some weaknesses of the traditional methods of managing inflation and describes some alternative approaches that could be more efficient and effective. He then explains one potential way of applying those methods to the environmental crisis by nationalizing oil and gas companies. Grey is on Twitter at @rohangrey. This episode was hosted by Brian L.
