Farrokh Langdana, professor of finance and economics, and director of the Rutgers Business School Executive MBA Program, discusses the economic trends that have led to inflation. In this vlog, he outlines the two kinds of inflation that occurred after Covid, and a third that is occurring now and into the future.  
  • Demand pull inflation, “the good kind of inflation” 
  • Cost push inflation, “bad inflation”
  • Non-sustainable deficit inflation, “dangerous inflation”

No diagrams, no graphs, just Langdana’s unique ability to explain complex economic concepts in an engaging and understandable way.
