Is increased buying power the actual cause of inflation? Or is it disruption in China? Or is it executives choosing to take profits because they can (for some particular reason)? What evidence could be used to distinguish between the various possibilities? I don't actually know, and I'm curious.

Im sure its a multitude of factors but it is definitely the increase spending due to government intervention. Aggregate demand is several years above trend.
