I was eight years old when the 1970s ended, and *I* knew what inflation was & why it was bad. People talked about it at the grocery store. In school, we read the Scholastic primer for kids on the 1980 election that explained it as one of the big issues.

Seems like a classic conflation between correlation and causation. There was both inflation and an ongoing debate over sexual license in the 70s, but the two were not connected. Also, the debate over sexual license began in the mid-60s, without causing inflation/stagflation.
