The thinktank has released evidence of what it calls a “profit price spiral”, arguing big business earnings account for 69% of the inflation that is above the reserve bank’s target range of 2-3%. The Reserve Bank of Australia and its governor, Philip Lowe, have been warning of a “wage-price spiral”, when price rises cause wages to increase which in turn causes further price rises, which was an issue of the 1970s stagflation period.
