Inflation is a measure of many commodity costs, which makes it a more useful analytic tool than using any single commodity as a comparison.
I'm not convinced that the K-wave is a natural, time-based economic phenomena given a handful of periods in which inflation increased as a step in particular regions. At least, I find the Generational Theory, or 4 Turning theory to be more compelling, and possibly extend to a partial explanation of why inflation appears to move in steps. |

Not only commodities can make inflation skyrocket.

I remember that Mythbusters episode. Jamie laughed hysterically when the train crashed.

For people who hate fossil fuels they sure do love gaslighting.

I'm afraid that if I read that and it turns out that an hyperbolic body of revolution is considered phallic (and not an orifice) , then I might lose some brain cells.

Sigmund would have fit right in with modern academia, I'm sure.

That said, he had some useful concepts, and those shouldn't be dismissed just because of the whacky stuff.
Here's the video I recently saw on the subject-
