Explanations for inflation had for a long time been ceded to the
purview of economists. The acceleration in rates of inflation
within advanced economies during the 1960s and 1970s, however,
prompted sociologists and political scientists to attempt their own
accounts for this phenomenon.
There are two major competing explanations of the postwar
inflation. One, most commonly held by economists, is that inflation
has been produced by governments through a combination of policy
errors and cynical manipulation of policy for electoral purposes.
The other, often advanced by sociologists and political scientists
as an alternative, is that inflation has been an outcome of class
conflict. In his study that ranges widely over the literature in
the relevant disciplines, Smith examines the strengths and
weaknesses of each account, with particular attention to the
evidence presented in support of class-conflict explanations. He
concludes that, on balance, the policy-error/cynical-manipulation
explanation is better supported than its class-conflict rival.
The clarity with which Smith presents these rival accounts and
the critical rigor of his scrutiny make this a work of interest to
advanced students in macroeconomic theory and to policy makers.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book assesses the competitive and contentious EU-Russia
relationship in relation to Ukraine from 2010 to 2013, focusing on
the important areas of trade, energy and security. The key issue
explored is whether this relationship played any meaningful role in
the deterioration of the situation in Ukraine since late 2013.
Nicholas Ross Smith begins by exploring the competitiveness of the
triangular EU-Russia-Ukraine relationship before the crisis. He
then examines the eruption of the Ukraine crisis in greater detail,
with a particular focus on trade, energy and security. The book
goes on to compare three theoretically and empirically informed
medium-term scenarios for the future of the relationship. This
research provides a wide-ranging snapshot of EU-Russia-Ukraine
relations by comparing the foreign policies of the EU and Russia as
well as examining the interplay of identity and perceptions on
their foreign policy decision-making. Touching upon both
international relations and foreign policy analysis, this book will
prove invaluable to scholars and practitioners working on Eastern
Europe, the EU and Russia. International relations and foreign
policy analysis scholars and students will also find much of
interest.

Sometimes, the work of God's unseen hand is hard to recognize. At
other times, it is so apparent, there is no way to ignore Divine
intervention. For two girls, born 11 months apart in a small
Southern town, this could not be more true. Forty plus years ago,
God placed them in each other's lives, along with a foundation for
a friendship that would later defy time, distance, and the vagaries
of life. More than forty years after their families took them in
separate directions, they "refound" each other, reconnected, and
renewed a friendship that felt as if it were always there- and it
had been...in their hearts. Today, God has brought these women full
circle, only children who rediscovered the "sister" each was
missing. Now, one a writer/photographer, the other a writer, they
share, through pictures and words, the insights God has given them
on life, love, the many shapes of family, the strength and meaning
of friendship, and the infinite unseen ways God works to place each
of us exactly where we should be, right at the time we should be
there, with those who truly love us.
