Destructive inflation (7,2)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
blowing up
'inflation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blowing up that I've seen before include "Enlarging" , "Exploding" , "reducing (to rubble)?" .)
