“This isn’t a message I like talking about,” Senior Research Associate Ben Brown told The Center Square. “Most likely, the path forward is going to be a period of high prices and low or relatively low economic growth. It’s the same thing we had in the 1970s. It’s going to cause economic pain, there’s no doubt about it. And it tends to last long.”
