Happy to see more economics substacks!

I'd add to the supply and demand part, that technically, supply and demand are always balanced. Thus, the New Keynesian model is helpful as it related the rate of inflation with the level of real marginal cost Higher level of real marginal cost causes higher inflation (if people demand more of a product, it becomes costlier for a firm to supply it and thus the real marginal cost goes up, pushing up the rate of inflation).

Yep - perfect. Loved the comment nominal news. Demand drives more supply, which inevitably means higher marginal cost suppliers need to enter the market, which increases inflation ! Perfect
