Does it look anything like a Phillips curve? Now draw the line of best fit for four separate curves: one for the period 1985-89; one for 1995-00; one for 2001-2008; and one for 2009-2020. (I) In which two of the four periods are there apparently a trade-off and (II) in which one of these two is the inflation/unemployment relationship more favourable?
