Abstract
The rate of growth of wage rate is proportional to inflation and is an increasing function of unemployment rate. The unemployment rate growth increases inflation. The retention of a high inflation rate from year to year with a high unemployment rate leads to stagflation caused by a redundant amount of money in annual circulation and to the wage growth beyond the equilibrium wage.
