Dallas Chapter Meeting

Where Is our Economy Heading: Are Fossil Fuels the Problem, or are they the Patsy?

With so much at play in today’s markets, many analysts are asking, “Are the macros driving our prices, or are our prices driving the macros?” How many times have we heard politicians tell the world that the energy industry is “price gouging” the public? They equate high profits with greed and corruption. They talk about fairness, a doctrine that does not exist in the constitution. We will focus our discussion on setting the record straight. We’ll discuss what is driving inflation higher and also look to see if we are heading for another recession. This and more.
