Two perspectives on inflation
Geoff Riley
28th February 2008
Two articles caught my eye today both relating the the rise in world inflation (now close to 5 per cent) and the risks of a return to a mild form of stagflation. Firstly Stephen King writing in the Independent looks at why it is that emerging market economies are more susceptible to surges in inflationary pressures. Second Robert Samuelson writes about The Specter of Stagflation. Both good for A2 students I feel.
