Global Focus on Inflation Is All Wrong, CCLA's Bevan Says

The video discusses the challenges of managing inflation in Europe, questioning the effectiveness of traditional monetary policies like those of the ECB. It highlights four key variables affecting inflation: demographics, disruptive technology, high levels of long-term debt, and savings rates. The speaker argues that these factors contribute to sustained low inflation, challenging the notion that inflation is purely a monetary phenomenon.
