Another Nail in the coffin of Gordon's Economyth

FT.com: UK factory gate inflation surges

"Economists said the year-on-year increase of 10 per cent in the prices charged by manufacturers increased the risk of a knock-on effect on consumer price inflation, the measure the Bank uses to decide monetary policy."
Sound fundamentals - what an economy, what a myth.

Inflation targeting is to us what the gold standard was to the 1920's. Disastrous!

The CPI is becoming a public farce - a measure of official denial rather than inflation.

I don't know what the next act in this play will bring from the MPC but I'm sure it ends in tragedy.
