Episode #36: What can we learn from inflation in the 1970s?

The high inflation of the 1970s was bad for economies and brought pain for investment returns. As inflation surged, so did unemployment. So how justified are concerns about a return to similar conditions in 2022 and beyond? And what lessons should we consider 50 years on? In this episode of Oliver’s Insights, part of AMP’s Simplifying Investing podcast series, AMP’s Chief Economist, Dr. Shane Oliver, breaks it all down and helps investors stay informed.
