What is stagflation?

Stagflation refers to a situation in the economy where there is a combination of stagnant economic growth, high unemployment rates, and high inflation. It is characterized by a slowdown in economic activity, rising prices, and a lack of job opportunities. Stagflation is considered to be a challenging economic condition as it contradicts the traditional relationship between inflation and unemployment, known as the Phillips curve.
