	All Business: Wall Street weighs stagflation threat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Stagflation in the 1970s grew out of the OPEC oil embargo that caused oil prices to quadruple.
		Given that scenario, economists are slashing their estimates for overall growth for the year to around 3.4 percent, down sharply from the 4.4 percent expansion for all of 2004.
		Yet the prospect of stagflation can't be ignored, especially for the Fed as it forges ahead with its interest-rate policy.

	The End of Prosperity
		Stagflation was the kiss of death for the neoclassical/Keynesian synthesis.
		Supply-siders claimed that stagflation was the result of diminishing capitalism's normal creativity by: 1) taxing away the profits and incomes that are the reward for successful entrepreneurship; 2) burdening business with too many costly and ineffective regulations; and 3) making it too easy for people to live well without working through overly-generous welfare payments.
		The institutionalist theory of stagflation is explained clearly in Heilbroner and Thurow's chapter on inflation.

	Stagflation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Stagflation, the combination of high unemployment and high rates of INFLATION.
		Stagflation in the 1970s and 1980s has been caused partly by &QUOT;supply shocks"; (increases in price).
		If governments respond to a large supply shock by maintaining total expenditure, a severe RECESSION will result because the increased expenditure on energy or food means reduced expenditure on other goods and services, and therefore reduced output and employment.

	BBC News \| Business \| Is stagflation back?
		It is called "stagflation", and a number of economists and politicians are suggesting that economies around the world are heading in that direction.
		In the '70s it suffered from a nasty case of stagflation, and now that the country's economy is ending a period of high growth there are worries that it will not manage a "soft landing", a gentle economic slowdown that keeps the economy above water while inflation cools.
		Stagflation is the combination of inflation and recession - an economy which begins to shrink while prices still continue to rise.

	Econbrowser: Stagflation
		The term "stagflation" was introduced in the 1970's when the economy simultaneously experienced stagnation of real output growth and an acceleration of inflation.
		Stagflation will happen because economic shifts to more competetive areas will not have taken place, so industry will sit uncompetitive, but there will be less support for the dollar, rendering imports much more expensive, with all the pass-through that may engender.
		The stagflation of the '70s was associated to the petrodollars and increasing profits of the domestic oil producers.

		Stagflation is a portmanteau word used to describe a period with a high rate of inflation combined with an economic recession.
		The Phillips curve, which is associated with Keynesian economics suggests that stagflation is impossible because high unemployment lowers demand for goods and services which lowers prices.
		Stagflation occurred in the economies of the United Kingdom in the 1960s and 1970s and the United States in the late 1970s.

		The term stagflation, the combination of stagnancy and inflation, was thus born.
		Today, stagflation, which impacted the U.S. mainland’s economy in the late 1970s, seems to perfectly describe Puerto Rico’s current economic situation, which can find the roots of many of its problems embedded in the island’s political status and its obsolete economic model.
		The stagflation that is affecting the island has a direct impact on every aspect of living, working, and doing business in Puerto Rico.

	Shades of stagflation - Feb. 20, 2003
		Stagflation is a relatively new beast in economic lore, arising for the first time after an Arab oil embargo in 1973-74 nearly quadrupled prices for crude oil and retail gasoline in the United States.
		Almost nobody expects oil prices to quadruple as they did in the ' 70s -- oil would jump to $100 a barrel from $25 not long ago if that were the case -- or the economy to fall into the deep, dark recession.
		Nevertheless, an extended period of higher prices and sluggish growth, a sort of baby stagflation, would be a headache for the economy.

	The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Greenspan upbeat but warns of "stagflation"
		He spun a tale of two economies before the House Budget Committee, reassuring Americans that the economy now is emerging from a midsummer "soft patch" but warning that "stagflation" — higher inflation co-existing with slow growth — could arise in the not-too-distant future.
		There is a risk that the large deficit —; $422 billion this fiscal year alone, according to the Congressional Budget Office — could become much more dangerous as the baby-boom generation begins to retire, he said.
		Stagflation became a significant problem in the 1970s as higher oil prices and higher inflation gripped the economy.

	The Return of Stagflation - Mises Institute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Stagflation is a term that originated in the early 1970s to identify the simultaneous occurrence of recession and inflationâ”a phenomenon that Keynesian theory had previously suggested was impossible.
		In Keynesian theory, recessions (and the unemployment implied by them) are cured by inflation, while inflations are cured by recessions.
		This policy was facilitated by the increase, or the reappearance in the case of the United States, of budget deficits at the federal level.

		The exception was 1969 when a high rate of inflation boosted nominal revenues which were offset by the increased nominal cost of servicing the debt.
		By 1975, the United States was suffering from the high inflation and high unemployment of stagflation, and the budgetary deficits seemed to take on a life of their own.
		And, the belief among some influential Keynesians that more tinkering with the economy was all that was needed to fix a stagflating economy created an almost self-perpetuating growth of the public debt.

	America's Debate -> Stagflation on the horizon?

		This is what John Makin of the American Enterprise Institute had to say about the subject and one should bear in mind that the AEI is about as conservative and pro-corporate as think tanks come.

	Mild case of stagflation could get worse - Business - www.theage.com.au
		In the 1970s, soaring prices of oil and other commodities led to stagflation - a combination of high inflation and high unemployment, which left no good policy options.
		What few seem to have noticed, however, is that a mild form of stagflation - rising inflation in an economy still well short of full employment - has already arrived.
		But the fact that we're already experiencing mild stagflation means that there will be no good options if something else goes wrong.
