The Resurgence of Inflation

The book delves into the historical context of inflation, particularly focusing on the German hyperinflation of the 1920s and the inflationary crises of the 1970s. It explores the economic turmoil and the rise of fascism and neoliberalism that followed these periods. Through five case studies, it critiques past economic policy mistakes and offers empirical insights and strategies to combat inflation and deflation. Additionally, it examines the interplay between wage increases, income distribution, and price changes, providing recommendations for wage policies to stabilize prices amidst economic shocks.
