You’re not the only one. The economy is contracting, albeit not by much, but consumer spending is near an all-time high. Unemployment is an all-time low. Manufacturing employment is up. The finance sector, less so. And yet inflation remains a persistent bugbear in an THE UN-RECESSION. What is clear, however, is that the old rules about how our economy works no longer apply.
