Manoj discusses the three key demographic trends that will almost inevitably reverse three multi-decade trends and the reason why inflation and the direction of inflation is about to change as demography changes too. He explains how demographic changes will impact on wage growth and consumer price inflation and the impact they will have on equality and also on real interest rates. He gives an insight into what this will mean for US dollar exchange rates and whether the current situation will lead to a currency war.
