Economics

A state of inflation that gets worse and worse, because higher prices result in demands for higher wages and higher wages increase costs and so cause higher prices. Source: European Union. (references)
 A persistent inflation in which a rise in prices causes demands to be made for higher wages, the granting of which increases the costs of producers who then again put up their prices ; the tendency of prices to rise, which is partly the result and partly the cause of increases in wages and other incomes, such as profits, dividends and interest.
