Wage–price spiral

In macroeconomics, a wage–price spiral (or conversely a price–wage spiral) is a proposed explanation for inflation, in which wage increases cause price increases which in turn cause wage increases, in a positive feedback loop. Greg Mankiw writes, "At some point, this spiral of ever-rising wages and prices will slow... In the long run, the economy returns to [the point] where the aggregate-demand curve crosses the long-run aggregate-supply curve."
