Notes

• With the possibility of the COVID-19 pandemic coming to a close, there’s a concern among first world economists of “overheating” the economy
• There are also concerns of increasing inflation, matched with so-called “pent-up demand”
• Roberts believes that talks of inflation are overblown, that the real question is whether or not “full-employment” will be able to return in the short-term
