## Resource

With inflation being a persistent concern for people, The Indian Express’ Udit Misra joins us to answer three questions: Do the prices of things always have to go up? Would we be better off if, instead of prices going up, they actually went down? And what can the government actually do to make things more affordable? Hosted and produced by Shashank Bhargava Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
