Government Spending and Inflation. Part 13B – Addendum

This is a continuation of the analysis of each significant period of rising inflation since 1914.  The first part1 covered the years up to the start of World War II.  The second part2 covered the inflationary periods following World War II through 2022.  This is an addendum to the second part.

Government Spending and Inflation. Part 14A – Deflation

We have failed to find systematic relationships between consumer inflation and federal deficit spending over long time periods. This is a continuation of looking at each period of significant inflation and disinflation/deflation individually.  Parts 13A1 and 13B2 analyzed the ten significant inflation periods since 1914.  This is the first of two posts to analyze the eleven significant deflationary periods for the years 1914-2022.
