A myth-busting explanation of inflation, the desperate gullibility
of central bankers and finance ministers-and our abject failure to
learn from history From investors and monetary authorities to
governments and policy makers, almost everyone had assumed
inflation was dead and buried. But now people the world over are
confronting a poisonous new economic reality and, with it, the
prospect of vast and increasing wealth inequality. How have we
arrived in this situation? And what, if anything, can we do about
it? Celebrated economist Stephen D. King-one of the few to warn
ahead of time about the latest inflationary upheaval-identifies key
lessons from the history of inflation that policy makers chose not
to heed. From ancient Rome through the American Civil War and up to
the asset bubbles of today, inflation stems from policy error,
sovereign greed, and a collective loss of faith in currencies. We
Need to Talk About Inflation cuts through centuries of bad judgment
and misunderstanding, offering a means to intervene now-so we can
begin to tackle the political and social upheaval unleashed by
inflation.
