The question is about the relationship between average price, employment, average wage rate, average productivity, total demand and quantity of money. This relationship has been discussed extensively in the 70s under the heading Phillips curve but never solved.

The testable relationship between the aforesaid variables is given here. The theoretical underpinning is given here (2012; 2014). The two working papers make it also understandable why the representative economist cannot do other but senselessly repeating his well-trodden path on the Econ 101 Möbius strip. Better the Fed banishes this guy first.
