Description
A comprehensive guide to understanding inflation and its impact on economies is offered by Stephen D. King in "We Need to Talk About Inflation". This book draws on centuries of economic history to identify key lessons that policy makers have chosen not to heed, including the role of policy error, sovereign greed, and a collective loss of faith in currencies. King's analysis reveals how inflation has stemmed from these factors throughout history, from ancient Rome to modern-day asset bubbles. By examining past mistakes and misunderstandings, King provides a means for policymakers to intervene now and begin tackling the social and political upheaval caused by inflation. With 240 pages of insightful commentary, "We Need to Talk About Inflation" offers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most pressing economic issues of our time.
