Apart from the fact that an acceleration in consumer price inflation is easily the most contrarian position ever, there is have been a number of fundamental developments that make its resurgence a lot more likely than it used to be.

Relative prices governing the shape of the economy's production structure were already past a tipping point before the pandemic. This can be gleaned from the ratio of capital vs. consumer goods production, which has turned down sharply. This is not only a highly reliable coincident indicator of boom and bust, it also shows that relative prices are shifting, with consumer goods prices rising relative to capital goods prices. This will result in a shortening of the production structure, making it less efficient. There will be growing upward pressure on the prices of consumer goods people really need and want, but of which not enough is being produced due to years of malinvestment induced by central-bank policies. Needless to say, this particular problem has just become a whole lot worse.
