Prologue: History repeats, but not in the same form
In the 1970s, the American economy faced a period of hardship.
Prices rose, economic growth slowed, and the unemployment rate climbed steadily.
During this time, a new economic term, “stagflation,” was coined.
The phenomenon of inflation (rising prices) and recession (economic stagnation) occurring simultaneously—previously thought impossible theoretically—stood as a real obstacle in reality.
And now, in the 2020s we live in.
Pandemics, wars, supply chain disruptions, central bank struggles, and surging resource prices.
There is an atmosphere as if the era is being revived.
“Is this a reboot of the 1970s?”
We must face this question, which every investor holds, seriously.
In this article, we will analyze the similarities and differences between the 1970s and the 2020s in detail and present concrete investment strategies to survive the coming era.
This is not mere nostalgia; it is a deep dive into “lessons from history” to pave the way to the future.
