Policy professionals won’t want to miss this 30-minute Policy Pulse discussion breaking down the current inflationary trend and laying out a way forward that clarifies the roles of Congress and the Fed.

In an environment where the line between fiscal and monetary policy has become increasingly blurry, it is important to separate the two.
