William Mitchell — The inflation backtracking from the central bankers and others is gathering pace

Summary:
Remember all the hype from central bankers last year and earlier this year about how they had to get ‘ahead of the curve’ with their interest rate hikes just in case wage demands escalated and inflationary expectatinos became ‘unanchored’.
