Inflation – Has it arrived?

[poorgradstudent]

2010 has seen inflation in the range of 1-3%. I doubt inflation will be a serious problem until the job market recovers more, and that looks at least a year away.

With wages flat/deflationary, there’s just not a lot of upward demand pressure to drive inflation right now.

And it amazes me how many people think a good economy is a prerequisite for inflation…

What do you see as a good example of inflation in a bad economy (that is not some extreme or galloping example)?

The US in the 70s, for generic stagflation. (BTW if high inflation and low growth/employment never happen together, why is there a word to describe them happening together?)

Or, for an example of an inflation driven by a loss of confidence in the sovereign debt and currency, Iceland in 08-09.

I don’t know how to make an example gallop so I think I’m good.
