Economists have been talking a lot about ‘stagflation’ lately. This
phenomenon occurs when a high inflation rate is coupled with weak economic
growth—something the US hasn’t seen in almost half a century. [2]Why are
economists worried, and should the rest of us be? In collaboration with the
[3]Aspen Economic Strategy Group, the [4]McCloskey Speaker Series gathered
[5]a panel of experts to address concerns about stagflation and its causes,
signs of a future recession, and the effects of transitioning to a green
economy.

instead to prioritize personal commitments. According to the [9]Future of

of jobs and lives—but only when designed correctly.

From the Archives: [23]We Can’t Prepare for Hurricanes Without Addressing
Climate Change

It’s been a quiet hurricane season, but forecasters still predict a stormy
fall. As our experts at the [24]Energy and Environment Program point out,

new ideas in art and design.”
