About the event
We are honoured to have Dr. John Greenwood to speak on the heat topic of assumed connections between the inflation and the aftermath of Covid-19. As a monetary economist, Dr. Greenwood has a unique perspective on the Covid Pandemic and the subsequent inflation. In this lecture, he will discuss why the emerging inflation is not related with the Pandemic but consistently a monetary and local phenomenon. He will also explain the reason for why countries such as China, Japan or Switzerland are not landing a significant inflation while they all suffered the same disruptions back in the time.
