Former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss. “My guess is that the Fed will in the end have to suffer through a recession, if we're going to bring inflation down,” says Summers. “We’re not stopping inflation for the sake of stopping inflation or stopping inflation for the sake of higher incomes for people in terms of purchasing power,” he explains. “And we're stopping inflation for the sake of avoiding worst recessions and worst economic instability, down the road.”"
