They're not measuring inflation properly

Inflation has been high on the news agenda due to the cost of living crisis. When you see people talking about inflation they'll almost always be talking about the rising costs of things you buy in the shops, which is retail price inflation or consumer price inflation. But what about asset price inflation? Assets have been going up for years, and faster than goods and services, so why is that rarely mentioned?

Why the rich keep getting richer

If you look back across history, you find that inequality is the norm. After the second world war that changed, and there was a period of rising equality across the west. But rising inequality is back, unless we do something about it.
