Ep. 75: Where Are We in the Inflation Tale?

Let's take a big step back. The Inflation Guy spends a lot of time in his podcasts talking about the current CPI figures and fairly short-term considerations. But economic episodes are like books, with rising action, a climax, and falling action - and bigger cycles are like book series (think Harry Potter). As we get closer to the end of this book, we need to think about how the next book advances the plot. The Inflation Guy talks through the current chapters, looks forward to the end of this book, and suggests what he thinks Book 2 will look like. Because inflation is not a book you can put down: you're in it to the end.
