United States:
Biden’s Promise of More Equal U.S. Takes Hit With Spending Plan
“President Joe Biden’s promise to reduce income and wealth disparities in the U.S. has suffered a major setback with the collapse of his social-spending bill. Early in the pandemic, U.S. policy makers staved off a dramatic increase in inequality with an all-out fiscal response. Biden’s legislation aimed to build on that achievement with about $2 trillion of investments focused on child care, health care and early education — delivering benefits to lower-income Americans, financed in part by tax increases for wealthier ones.”

Debt-Rule Showdown Will Shape Europe’s Economy for Years to Come
“Europe’s policymaking class is readying itself for a clash that may reverberate for years to come. The huge public-borrowing binge needed to fund spending during the Covid-19 crisis is forcing a rethink of the European Union’s rules governing debt and deficits, exposing a political fault line over economic theory.”

In its 2022 outlook released Monday, the finance ministry projected inflation at 2.4% this year and 2.2% for 2022, both higher than the Bank of Korea’s latest forecasts and its 2% target.”
