  Remember: inflation coming down means things get more expensive slower, not that prices come down. We still have a cost of liv greed crisis

    Don’t pretty much all economists recommend some level of inflation? Not as high as we are experiencing now, but not nothing like you’re suggesting.

      That might work if wages increased with inflation, but they haven’t since I left uni 15 years ago.

      Economists that back an economy built on permanent expanding debt

      Yes because those economists own stocks, which naturally go up when inflation happens. These fools literally hopped onto the status quo bandwagon and I resent them for it

      Yes, but the point is that once inflation gets back to ~2% (the bank of England's target) the problem is not solved, everyone is still effectively poorer except the rich, it's just not getting worse

      Yes, but food inflation has been so high we can probably handle some limited deflation there. It’s also not like someone is going to put off buying some bananas because they think they’ll be cheaper next week.

  That was a horribly written article. What is this tabloid trash?
