Merrill Matthews, Ph.D.,

With U.S. Treasury Secretary Jane Yellen saying that inflation would be “a good thing” for us, I ask Dr. Merrill Matthews, resident scholar with the Institute for Policy Innovation, about the situation. [See: Yellen Admits Inflation Is About To Surge But Says It Will Be ‘Plus For Society’s Point Of View’]

Also we discuss the disaster of Biden paying people not to work and how that is affecting economic growth as “Biden’s Backdoor Scheme for Effectively Raising the Minimum Wage,” was a recent column by Matthews.

Merrill Matthews, Ph.D., is a resident scholar with the Institute for Policy Innovation, a research-based, public policy “think tank.” He is a health policy expert and opinion contributor at The Hill. He also serves on the Texas Advisory Committee of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

Dr. Matthews is a past president of the Health Economics Roundtable for the National Association for Business Economics, the largest trade association of business economists.

He has been published in numerous journals and newspapers, including The Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, Barron’s, USA Today, Forbes magazine and the Washington Times.
