Let’s take a look at some specific consumer prices. What we hear or read about are inflation data for the nation. But there is a vast amount of data for other geographies. Sadly, Indiana and Indianapolis are not blessed with data as are Cincinnati and Chicago. However, we do have data for the Midwest, that area from Cleveland to Kansas City. If we look at March 2015 through March 2025, we find prices rising faster in the nation, 3.1% on average, than in the Midwest (2.9%).

I’ve been reading Robert Shiller’s 2019 book, “Narrative Economics” which details, in simple English, how stories, fact or fiction, have influenced economic affairs. The tale of brokers jumping from Wall Street windows in response to the 1929 stock market collapse, engendered a bleak situation and panic. The Bitcoin mania of our times is based on endorsements by reputedly successful investors like Musk and Trump, first class story tellers.
