The last year has seen the return of inflation as a preoccupation
of political decision-makers, economists and the general public.
After two decades of wondering why inflation was so low, despite
vast economic stimulus, economists were surprised by the recent
surge of price increases. Despite disagreement about what exactly
is happening in the economy, there is unanimity that growth must be
slowed in order to control inflation. To focus on inflation's
return, Paul Mattick looks at past and present, placing current
events in the context of capitalism's history. Exploring in novel
terms the nature of money itself, he provides a concise,
jargon-free understanding of recent inflation, and official efforts
to control it, illuminating the state of our contemporary economy.
