Stagflation?  If you don’t know what stagflation is, just the sound of the word probably lets you know it’s not a good thing.  Stagflation is defined as an economic condition in which the inflation rate is high and the economic growth rate is low.  This was a problem in the 70’s, and there is media speculation it may return in 2022.
