Ali Velshi on what a recession means for the economy and politics

With inflation at a 40 year high and economic experts warning of a recession, MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, host of “Velshi,” explains to Salon’s Dean Obeidallah what factors led the global economy to this unique position where everything is more expensive and unemployment is low.

It is a very hard problem to solve.” Watch the full episode to hear more about how the war in Ukraine plays a role and why catching up after the pandemic is a big contributing factor.
