I have this suspicion that we can’t see the forest through the trees on the US inflation discussion. Does anyone know any good articles which investigate this i

  The Economist had a pair of articles in December last year about the risks of looming inflation. As usual they state an opinion, but provide plenty of discussion and analysis. I know it's from over 6 months ago, but I think they still provide really useful look at the arguments, and knowing the subsequent history gives useful perspective on the different arguments today. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2020/12/12/after-the-pandemic-will-inflation-return https://www.economist.com/leaders/2020/12/12/after-the-pande... https://www.economist.com/briefing/2020/12/12/a-surge-in-inflation-looks-unlikely https://www.economist.com/briefing/2020/12/12/a-surge-in-inf... This more recent one on inflation in China, and possible knock on effects is also good for an international perspective. https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2021/06/10/soaring-factory-prices-in-china-add-to-global-inflation-fears https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2021/06/10/s... They have published a few articles looking more specifically at the US, but I think these are good overviews of the global picture and debate.
