Consumer prices rose 4 percent in the year through May, the slowest pace in more than two years and an encouraging sign, but, keep spinning your Putinesque propaganda.
It is not the "greed" of employees which makes inflation rise in periods of full employment. It is that the employees have money to spend, and they want to spend it. Too many dollars chasing too few goods leads inexorably to a rise in prices.
Comrade Putin, like the comrades before him, and DJT, think that proper planning can outwit the market. They couldn't, and he can't. Western systems are superior to the centrally planned economies of China and Russia when we embrace confusion, unleash economic liberty, and let lose the "animal spirits" onto the free market.
So quantitative easing has nothing to do with inflation?
"centrally planned economies of China and Russia" that was last century, not as much today.
And if you think Western systems have let lose the "animal spirits" onto a "free market" you really haven't been paying attention the last thirty years.
The Fed printing trillions in the last ~15 years (plus reverse repo over $2T for the last year) has nothing to do with it.
Those greedy employees wanting more pay is the problem, bring in more immigrants who will work for lower pay.

"Putinesque propaganda", LOL, that's what you call facts you don't like?

You missed the sarcasm in the "greed" comment.

Sarcasm does not work well in writing. It's only effective when spoken, where the sneering tone makes the sarcasm land.
