Have We Been Thinking about Inflation All Wrong? The answer is almost certainly "yes" because the economy is complex and you can't really distill it into a single number that gives a clear signal for "good" or "bad". Skew in the price of individual goods (like luxury cars, or food staples) can make the inflation number out of sync with the impact on average people.
