Stagflation Conversations with Fexingo: High Inflation, Slow Growth, and 1970s Echoes

In 'Stagflation Conversations with Fexingo,' Lucas and Luna examine the return of an economic condition many thought buried with the 1970s: high inflation paired with stagnant growth. Each episode grounds the conversation in current data from major economies—CPI prints, GDP revisions, unemployment figures, and central bank statements—then draws historical parallels to the oil shocks, wage-price spirals, and policy missteps of the post-Bretton Woods era. Lucas, with a fountain pen in hand, traces the arc of a Minsky moment or a Volcker-style rate hike; Luna cross-references today's supply chain disruptions and labor market tightness against the archived charts spread before them. They never settle for surface-level parallel—instead, they argue about whether modern financialization changes the stagflation playbook, why the Phillips curve seems to have gone flat, and what a 'soft landing' actually requires. The listener who tunes in is someone who reads the economic indicators themselves,
