"There is simply no such a thing as a 'cost-push' inflation."

"[I]n the strict sense, there is simply no such a thing as a 'cost-push' inflation. Neither higher wages nor higher prices of oil, or perhaps of imports generally, can drive up the aggregate price of all goods unless the purchasers are given more money to buy them."

~ Friedrich Hayek from his 1976 book Denationalisation of Money
