The hypocrisy of central bank discourse on inflation and wage restraint is staggering. Inflation is always and everywhere monetary until, well … it isn't. Chartbook #79 tries to unpick some of the tangled web of inflationspeak right now. adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-79… twitter.com/MESandbu/statu…

To think of the wage-price relationship, what the economists call the Phillips curve, as an objective fact that you discover by statistical methods is to miss the point. In fact, it is something that is made by social action. My latest for @NewStatesman newstatesman.com/ideas/2022/02/… https://t.co/Ua4QB3dRbW

What hangs over the present is memory of the 1970s and fear of the so-called wage-price spiral. My latest for @NewStatesman newstatesman.com/ideas/2022/02/… https://t.co/xeVG8byNmi
