TWE 1: SVB Bank Collapse and Higher Interest Rates

Thank you for listening to the first episode of "This Week's Economy," a new series of the "Let People Prosper" podcast, where I quickly recap and share my expertise on all the economic news from the preceding week every Friday morning. Today, I cover: 1) How much the Fed raised the federal funds rate, why, and what that means for the economy; 2) Current inflation numbers and likely job losses and economic bust; and 3) How the Fed raising rates and Congress' excessive spending is impacting the banking sector and the SVB bank collapse. Please rate this show 5 stars and leave a review if you enjoyed it!
