“This period looks a lot like the 1940s, which is when you have a combination of high debt and high inflation, which is not what you had in the 70s. In the 70s they had low debt and high inflation, which means they had a lot more tools to respond to it…when you have that combination of both…that’s the closest thing that a central bank has to a checkmate scenario, where there’s only bad options.”
