there is no "true" way to calculate or measure inflation, that has been my point from the beginning.
But it’s not about measurement and methodological differences in measuring and estimating inflation; it’s about the very definition of “inflation” and its conceptual basis. And asset price inflation is not “inflation,” which should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about inflation, even those who disagree about its methods and estimates.

to point to an increase in the price of houses and label that "asset price inflation" is just as misleading as it would be to point to an increase in turkey prices and call that "turkey inflation"

it's all semantics, because "asset price inflation" still matters to the fed

i think the big argument is that how we view inflation needs to change

it wouldn't be shocking to me to find out that people who are pushing this monetary policy know exactly what they're doing in creating neo-inflation but not traditional inflation, so that they can say "see? no inflation!"
