We are currently doing a unit on the economy in US history. I have done the work assigned in class but I´m still hungry for more information. I have made links from what has happened in the past to what is happening today and the similarities are amazing. Like how the events that lead up to the panic of 1837 and the Great Depression are very similar to the event that are happening right now. My partner Hallie and I have a question that we can´t seem to find the answer to. What caused the carefree attitude of the American population that led to loose regulations on lending and the eventual collapse of our housing market--and why didn´t most major companies act on historical evidence from previous disasters? We know that this question does not have a right or wrong answer but we are sure your answer will satisfy our hunger for economy related knowledge.

Predicting inflation is difficult. I think the UK inflation prediction of 2% will be appropriate for 2009. Not many predicted the cost push inflation spike which caused problems this year. Yes!

Of course your predictions are looking pretty bad at the moment, but what has happened has taken a lot of people by surprise. Interesting article thanks.

If statistical and econometric methods, including cointegration tests, match your definition of "foolproof" ones, I would say that you are wrong that one can not predict inflation. Hopefully, it would be polite enough to invite you to my blog (inflationusa.blogspot.com) in order to ahve a chanse checking whether inflation in developed countries is predictable. “… there is no foolproof method for predicting inflation”.
