Why Do We Think That Inflation Expectations Matter for Inflation? (And Should We?) (federalreserve.gov)
Author's footnote: I leave aside the deeper concern that the primary role of mainstream economics in our society is to provide an apologetics for a criminally oppressive, unsustainable, and unjust social order.
Preaching to the choir.
The paper wastes a lot of time trying to make the case, but the general claim that expectations do not determine inflation is one I've always made. Expectations eventually converge to reality.
With some exceptions for the devoutly religious.
