Controlling inflation is among the most important objectives of economic policy. By maintaining price stability, policy makers are able to reduce uncertainty, improve price-monitoring mechanisms, and facilitate more efficient planning and allocation of resources. This volume focuses on understanding the causes of the Great Inflation of the 1970s and '80s, which saw rising inflation in many nations and propelled interest rates across the developing world into the double digits. Ever since, the immediate cause of the period's rise in inflation has been extensively debated. Among the areas of contention are the role of monetary policy in driving inflation and the implications this had both for policy design and for evaluating the performance of those who set the policy. Contributors map monetary policy from the 1960s to the present, shedding light on how the lessons of the Great Inflation were absorbed and applied to today's global and increasingly complex economic environment.

Recensioner i media

"A common theme in the book is the critical role that political and economic institutions can play in shaping a country's inflation experience. The general view is that central banks have been less independent than commonly perceived and that political support for price stability is essential. . . . The thoughtful discussions of the various institutional arrangements and the uneven progress in some countries toward central bank independence are particularly interesting and perhaps the most compelling aspect of the book."-- "Eastern Economic Journal" (4/23/2015 12:00:00 AM) "Regardless of one's views, this volume is essential reading for academics and policymakers and its resonance for the problems that central banks and the fiscal authorities face today is very real."-- "Journal of Economic History" (5/27/2014 12:00:00 AM) Macroeconomists cannot run controlled experiments, but they can do a much better job of identifying and elucidating the extraordinary range of experiments that central banks have delivered. The Great Inflation is a terrific example.-- "EH.net" (12/16/2013 12:00:00 AM)
