Stagflation was introduced to the economic lexicon by British MP Iain MacLeod in a speech in 1965. At the time, he was describing the conditions prevalent in much of Europe and North America where inflation was rising yet the economy was not growing. By combining "stagnation" and "inflation" together, he came up with the word "stagflation".
