Warsh’s Concerning Interest in Redefining “Inflation”
From Guns and Butter by Connor O'Keeffe
June 3, 2026
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of Warsh's attempt to redefine inflation and its potential consequences.
Although it's true that many government-driven price hikes in recent years aren’t “inflation” in the strict sense, the pain they cause is just as real. Warsh’s push to narrow what the Fed counts as inflation—so it can justify even more inflation—is alarming.
