Tim Harford brings you the first episode of his new podcast, Understand the Economy. If you?ve been missing his dulcet tones, here?s a chance for you to have a preview of Tim Harford?s latest podcast, in which he offers really simple explanations to help make sense of the economy today.

In this episode, inflation. What is inflation, why does it matter, and is someone to blame if it goes up? Understanding inflation will help you understand why your shopping is getting more and more expensive and why prices rarely seem to go down.

Everything you need to know about the economy and what it means for you. This podcast will cut through the jargon to bring you clarity and ensure you finally understand all those complicated terms and phrases you hear on the news. Inflation, GDP, Interest rates, and bonds, Tim Harford and friends explain them all. We?ll ensure you understand what?s going on today, why your shopping is getting more expensive or why your pay doesn?t cover your bills. We?ll also bring you surprising histories, from the war hungry Kings who have shaped how things are counted today to the greedy merchants flooding Spain with Silver coins. So if your eyes usually glaze over when someone says ?cutting taxes stimulates growth?, fear no more, we?ve got you covered.
