History

Historical Context

The Great Inflation in the U.S. peaked in 1980, with inflation soaring to 13.5% following the 1979 energy crisis. In response, Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker raised interest rates dramatically, reaching 20% by mid-1981. This period of stagflation led to significant economic challenges, influencing current inflation concerns reflected in earnings reports from major banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan.
