Probably the scariest, most dreaded term in economics is stagflation. Those who lived through the crisis in the 1970s can attest to this. In short, stagflation is defined as a period of low-to-no economic growth combined with high unemployment and high inflation. It’s a deadly recipe that took extraordinary measures to break the last time we experienced this phenomenon, and the method used back then is still highly contested territory. If you’ve heard the term more often in recent months, it’s because some economists are beginning to fear a resurgence of stagflation due to the policies of the Trump administration. So today we’re doing a very deep dive into the economy to discuss the differences between now and the crisis of the ‘70s and show how Trump might be singlehandedly pushing us into an entirely new and preventable stagflation crisis.

Inflation's now at its lowest level in more than three years, so when's the interest rate cut coming? One factor the RBA is looking at is the unemployment rate which might need to rise before it acts. Today, chief business correspondent Ian Verrender on the old economic theory linking unemployment and inflation and his prediction on when interest rates will start to fall.Ian Verrender highlights the delay in the impact of interest rate changes, likening it to adjusting a shower's temperature. He discusses the Phillips Curve theory and its relevance to current economic conditions.Verrender predicts a possible rate cut before Christmas, emphasising the delicate balance the RBA must maintain.Featured: Ian Verrender, ABC Chief Business CorrespondentKey Topics:Inflation ratesInterest ratesUnemployment rateReserve Bank of Australia (RBA)Phillips Curve theoryCentral bank policiesMichele BullockAustralian economy

When economists and policymakers talk about getting inflation under control, there's an assumption they often make: bringing inflation down will probably result in some degree of layoffs and job loss. But that is not the way things have played out since inflation spiked last year. Instead, so far, inflation has come down, and unemployment has stayed low.So where does the idea of this tradeoff – between inflation and unemployment – come from? That story starts in the 1940s, with a soft-spoken electrical engineer-turned-crocodile hunter-turned-economist named Bill Phillips. Phillips was consumed by the notion that there are underlying forces at work in the economy. He thought that if macroeconomists could only understand how those forces work, they could keep the economy stable.On today's show, how the Phillips Curve was born, why it went mainstream, and why universal truths remain elusive in macroeconomics. This episode was hosted by Willa Rubin and Nick Fountain, and produced by Sam Yellowhorse Kesler. It was edited by Molly Messick, and engineered by Maggie Luthar. Sierra Juarez checked the facts.

To begin with, why the soft landing view has become so widespread. It isn't necessarily what you might think. We have to dig up the current increasingly absurd version of the Phillips Curve to find out. We also have to be aware of just how close the US economy might be to the recession cliff, savings, student loans and now maybe jobs, too.

Just as his regulations against gas appliances harm the common man, the increased focus on the Phillips Curve could take us into an even darker recession. In addition, as the American people face the reality of today's economy, the state of California begins its campaign to destroy four dams along the Klamath River, making way for further economic breakdown. We also discuss debanking as an apparent blind eye is turned when law abiding citizens are told their opinions are bothersome or are debanked without reason. Zach Abraham, Chief Investment Officer Bulwark Capital Management, joins us as we dive into these topics.What does God's Word say? What does it mean that God chooses the foolish things to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27)?Episode 988 Links:Biden says he cured cancer. “We ended cancer as we know it.” REPORTER: "We've seen Biden go after gas stoves, A/C units with regulation, refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers — now water heaters. How many more home appliances will Americans eventually have to replace?" KJP: "If it is enacted, it would not take into effect until 2029. So, let's not forget that."“I confidently predict the FCA will look at this and say ‘Nothing to look at here'” -- “it is reasonable that law abiding citizens can be de-banked and become non-people?” Banking analyst Frances Coppola and Nigel Farage dispute Coutts approach California is now spending a half-billion dollars to destroy 4 dams on Klamath River—as a record snowmelt goes out to sea due to insufficient reservoir storage.

After a long series of rate hikes, Fed officials and asset markets are expecting a long series of interest rate cuts. This is based on the tried and hue Phillips Curve analysis. In color theory, "hue" is the technical appearance of color that can be described mechanically as a number. Let's hope interest rate expectations are not being distorted by other factors of reality, and that current Phillips Curve model perceptions of hue are also true.

It has become de rigeur in economics circles (word to the wise - always avoid such circles if you wish to retain your ability to think independently) to bemoan the death of the “Phillips Curve.” The Phillips Curve supposedly describes an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment. "Supposedly”? In this succinct episode, the Inflation Guy explains why poor William Phillips' good name has been dragged through the mud unnecessarily. There is nothing wrong with his curve! In this podcast, the Inflation Guy refers to a chart. It's hard to see charts on audio, so here is a link to the chart in case you want to follow along: The Real Phillips Curve

On today's show we are talking about the fallout of Chairman Powell's testimony to the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday and the corresponding Senate committee on Tuesday. In his remarks, he reiterated that the Fed sees raising rates further in response to the unexpectedly strong employment, GDP and inflation numbers. On Tuesday, he said the central bank would consider raising the federal funds rate by a half-percentage-point later this month, leading investors to anticipate the larger rate rise. All of this analysis is based on the famous Phillips Curve that forms the basis of so much of Fed policy. Every time the Phillips curve is shown to have fundamental flaws, they tweak the model to try and take some new factor into account. But the same fundamental flaws exist. The basic premise that a tight labor market automatically puts too much negotiating power in the hands of employees is at the core of the financial model. But if we go back through history there is example after example where a tight labor market did not result in inflation. The conclusions drawn by Fed officials using the Phillips curve each and every time has been shown to be incorrect. ------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

On today's show we are talking about inflation and whether higher interest rates will even help. When you listen to Fed chairman Powell speak, he spends a lot of time talking about inflation expectations. In fact, he mentions inflation expectations as being anchored in virtually every speech. So what is this anchoring of expectations and does it even matter? There was a paper published in May of this year by two economists who work for the Fed. Jae Sim and David Ratner wrote a paper entitled, “Who Killed the Phillips Curve? A Murder Mystery”. In order to understand the paper we first need to describe the Phillips curve. The Phillips curve has longstanding model of inflation and employment, and perhaps the central model underpinning the Fed's monetary policy. The experience in the last decade puts in doubt the stability and usefulness of the Phillips curve in predicting inflation and conducting monetary policy. First, the Phillips curve failed to predict the stable inflation seen in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis. In my opinion, there could be several explanations for this. There is real inflation happening underneath the covers which is not being captured in the CPI metrics. That's one possibility. The model for predicting the way inflation and the economy works is fundamentally flawed and doesn't track the real behaviour of the economy. A growing number of economists and commentators of different backgrounds have gone so far as to declare the death of the Phillips curve.

Das Anleihekaufprogramm der EZB ist Anfang Juli ausgelaufen, nach und nach hebt die Zentralbank die Zinsen an, der nächste Zinsschritt könnte im September erfolgen. Die Federal Reserve Bank unter Jerome Powell geht noch drastischer bei der Zinsanhebung vor, zuletzt erhöhte man die Zinsen gleich um 75 Basispunkte, das sind immerhin 0,75 Prozent. Die Zentralbanken wollen so die Inflation in den Griff bekommen, Schützenhilfe bekommen sie dafür von der herrschenden Politik. Was aber geschieht hier eigentlich? Wenn die Zinsen steigen, werden Kredite für Unternehmen, aber auch für Häuslebauer erheblich teurer. Viele werden unter der Zinslast einknicken, Investitionen nicht tätigen oder Hausbaupläne vertagen. Außerdem kann mit einem Anstieg der Arbeitslosenrate gerechnet werden, aber genau das ist politisch gewollt – denn auch damit sinkt die Nachfrage in vielen Haushalten, wodurch wiederum die Preise fallen. Zugleich wird Gewerkschaften vonseiten der Politik signalisiert, dass nun nicht der richtige Zeitpunkt für Forderungen nach Lohnerhöhungen sei. Mit anderen Worten: Die Inflation wird auf Kosten derjenigen bekämpft, die hart arbeiten und Kredite abstottern müssen. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“ sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt über die aktuelle Geld- und Zinspolitik. Literatur: David Ratner/Jae Sim:“Who Killed the Phillips Curve?

Central bankers and economists have often used the Phillips curve to determine the path of inflation. The problem is, they often get it wrong. No wonder then, that they question its validity when it doesn't work the way it should. Call it operator error. On today's podcast with Phil Dobbie, Steve Keen explains how most miss the dynamic aspects of Phillips' observations – it's the speed of change that counts, not a snapshot of employment levels at any particular time. Her also considered the changes in the price of inputs. On that basis, with unemployment rapidly falling and the price of imports rapidly rising, the Phillip's curve has never been more relevant.

Auch wenn volkswirtschaftliche Theorien längst empirisch widerlegt sind, können sie dennoch lange im Diskurs überleben. So ist es auch mit der sogenannten Phillips-Kurve, mit der einige Ökonomen bis heute nachzuweisen suchen, dass es einen kausalen Zusammenhang zwischen Inflation und Arbeitslosigkeit gibt. Das meint: Je höher die Inflation, desto niedriger die Arbeitslosigkeit – und umgekehrt. Das klingt durchaus logisch. Schon Ende der 1920er-Jahre beschäftigte sich damit Irving Fisher, Jahrzehnte später legte Alban William Housego Phillips mit einem Aufsatz, der angeblich an nur einem Wochenende entstanden ist, eine bahnbrechende Untersuchung zu diesem Zusammenhang vor. Während Phillips selbst aus seinen Ergebnissen keine direkten politischen Forderungen ableitete, taten genau dies danach sehr viele Ökonomen, Zentralbanker und Politiker. Und auch heute verkündet etwa der Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Paul Krugman in der „New York Times“, dass wir, um eine niedrige Inflation zu bekommen, mit etwas mehr Arbeitslosigkeit rechnen müssen. Es lohnt sich, den ursprünglichen Aufsatz von Phillips erneut zu lesen. Einige wichtige Details werden nämlich in der aktuellen Debatte weitgehend übersehen. Darüber sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“.

Key Insights:Josef Schumpeter’s “depressions are… forms of something which has to be done, namely, adjustment to previous economic change. Most of what would be effective in remedying a depression would be equally effective in preventing this adjustment…” is perhaps the most zombie of zombie economic ideas. Schumpeter’s zombie leads to episodes of dorkish zombie economic derp like John Cochrane’s claim in November 2008 that we needed a recession because we were then—in November 2008—building too many houses and employing too many people in construction: Another destructive zombie idea is the idea that the Phillips Curve and adaptive expectations guarantee that you only need to worry about inflation—the unemployment will take care of itself, and that if policy errs and pushes unemployment up too high above the natural this year, you will get it back because unemployment will then necessarily be an equal amount below the natural rate in some future year—as long as inflation is stabilized.The PCAE zombie leads to episodes like today, when a surprisingly large number of people who should know better are worrying not about unemployment but only about inflationTo mix metaphors, when we go hunting for zombie economic ideas, there are lots of fish in barrels for us to shoot. We do not have to try to shoot them all. Indeed, we should not.We should, instead, listen to Markus Brunnermeier at 12:30/09:30 EDT/PDT every Thursday at Hexapodia!!References:Markus Brunnermeier & Friends: Markus’ Academy Paul Krugman (2020): Arguing with Zombies: Economics, Politics, & the Fight for a Better Future John Stuart Mill (1844): Review of Thomas Tooke, “An Inquiry into the Currency Principle” & Robert Torrens, “An Inquiry into the Practical Working of the Proposed Arrangements for the Renewal of the Charter of the Bank of England, and the Regulation of the Currency” John Quiggin (2012): Zombie Economics: How Dead Ideas Still Walk Among Us &, of course:Vernor Vinge: A Fire Upon the Deep (Remember: You can subscribe to this… weblog-like newsletter… here: There’s a free email list.
