Inflation- its something that pretty much all of us have been dealing with in the last couple of years. Petrol, food, rent, - they’ve all been going up. And it doesn’t seem to be stopping.

But how well do we actually understand inflation?  And does our government and reserve bank have any idea how to get it under control?

This week, we're talking to professor, author and economist Dr Radhika Desai to understand the structural reasons behind current inflation, and dispel some common myths and misunderstandings as to why it occurs.

Check out Radhika's work here

And her latest book, released for free
