Ok, the NICE decade seems to be over for now (NICE stood for non-inflationary consistent expansion) but what should we replace it with?

The Wall Street Journal Economics Blog reports that some UK economists are calling the next decade as VILE - volatile inflation, less expansionary

Nice ... but a more cycnical acronym might be built around Shrinking High Inflation Turbulence - dont put this in an exam though!
