Uncertainty and Uneasiness in Central Banking
Central bankers are facing an unusual time characterized by a decrease in inflation despite a robust labor market and an acceleration in economic growth that defies expectation. The Phillips curve, which suggests that inflation should rise as unemployment falls, has failed to hold true. This has left central bankers puzzled and anxious about the persistence of disinflation.
