I have this suspicion that we can’t see the forest through the trees on the US inflation discussion. Does anyone know any good articles which investigate this issue across countries? It seems like a lot of the things that are “blamed” should manifest across the developed world.

The Economist had a pair of articles in December last year about the risks of looming inflation. As usual they state an opinion, but provide plenty of discussion and analysis. I know it's from over 6 months ago, but I think they still provide really useful look at the arguments, and knowing the subsequent history gives useful perspective on the different arguments today.

This more recent one on inflation in China, and possible knock on effects is also good for an international perspective.

They have published a few articles looking more specifically at the US, but I think these are good overviews of the global picture and debate.
