Inflation is Class Warfare

On today's episode Brian and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss  the steepest rise in prices in the last 30 years, which has set off  alarm bells and handed politicians like Joe Manchin a convenient excuse  to deepen their opposition to pro-worker social programs. Where does  inflation come from in a capitalist economy? What effect does it have on  the working class and on the capitalist class?
