That's the question, with Pete Wargent | Big Picture PodcastIt looks like inflation will soar to nearly 8 percent by Christmas and be chased by interest rates that together will send people's ability to pay for things further into reverse, halt the jobs boom, and put the brakes on economic growth.

If the government and Reserve Bank get their settings right, inflation will moderate next year and slowly return to within the RBA's target range, unemployment will hover around 4 percent, real wages will start to grow, and w...
