The problem is inflation affects everything…but you can’t lower demand for some things. Sure, if inflation only affected designer handbags, lowered demand would eventually reduce inflation to a stable position.

But when it also affects eggs and bread…well you can’t exactly eat nothing for long enough to slow inflation.
