Since the end of World War II, the United States has experienced
almost continuous inflation -- the general rise in the price of
goods and services. The costs of inflation are related to its rate,
the uncertainty it engenders, whether it is anticipated, and the
degree to which contracts and the tax system are indexed. A major
cost is related to the inefficient utilisation of resources because
economic agents mistake changes in nominal variables for changes in
real variables and act accordingly. This book examines the causes,
costs, and current status to the economy from inflation with a
focus on the Consumer Price Index; food price inflation and
consumers; and inflation-indexing elements in federal entitlement
programs.
