EdPuzzle: Why Are Prices Going Up?

This week's EdPuzzle video from TwoCents titled "Why Are Prices Going Up?" highlights the issue of inflation. It explains what's behind the record increase in the prices of goods and services and why it's such a noticeable problem for consumers. Tune in to learn how you can handle this climate of increasing prices!
