Inflation is the biggest story of the moment. The rapid climb of the cost of basic goods and services is damaging economies, markets, businesses - and most likely your hip pocket as well. We predict you've spotted a sign of inflation.  In the US, a photo of a Los Angeles gas station went viral charging more than $8 a gallon for fuel, in Australia - a photo went viral after a $12 iceberg lettuce, and in the UK - the fear that one third of the country's fish and chip shops will close in the next 9 months. Today Sascha and Alec want to know - what’s behind these different stories of inflation? And what can we learn from them?
