Babson weighs price and wage trends in U S
Babson argues that price declines hinge on supply and demand rather than government fixes. He expects only modest drops in food, clothing, and rent as long as employment holds, warns that quality may fade while prices stay high, and notes unions’ limited ability to boost take home pay.
