Historical Context: Great Society & Vietnam

The 1960s began with price stability but ended with rising inflation. Great Society social programs and Vietnam War spending pushed federal deficits higher without offsetting tax increases. The Federal Reserve accommodated this fiscal expansion, keeping interest rates low. By the end of the decade, inflation was running above 5% annually, setting the stage for the turbulent decade that followed.

President Johnson's Great Society programs and escalating Vietnam War spending drove federal deficits higher without compensating tax increases. The Federal Reserve, under political pressure to keep rates low, accommodated this fiscal expansion. Inflation, which had been below 2% in the early 1960s, climbed steadily past 5% by 1969. Nixon imposed wage and price controls in 1971, temporarily suppressing inflation while setting the stage for a more severe outbreak.

What This Means

Over the 58 years from 1967 to 2025, prices increased more than fourfold — a cumulative inflation rate of +863.9%. The average annual inflation rate over this period was +3.98%, which is roughly in line with the historical average of roughly 3.3% per year.
