DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This volume presents the latest thoughts of a brilliant group of young economists on one of the most persistent economic problems facing the United States and the world, inflation. Rather than attempting an encyclopedic effort or offering specific policy recommendations, the contributors have emphasized the diagnosis of problems and the description of events that economists most thoroughly understand. Reflecting a dozen diverse views—many of which challenge established orthodoxy—they illuminate the economic and political processes involved in this important issue.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This booklet, one of a series intended to apply economic principles to major social and political issues of the day, focuses on the relationship between growth of the money supply, growth of productivity, and inflation. Provided first is a definition of inflation along with discussions of price indexes, the value of money, and the concept of money-velocity in relation to inflation. As causes of inflation, the energy crisis and monopolies are briefly examined and rejected. Equations are developed to consider what determines price level, what determines the rate of inflation, and how things like oil and regulation affect inflation, and the conclusion is reached that growth of the money supply beyond the growth of productivity is the root cause of inflation. The section dealing with the cure for inflation covers: (1) the relationship between money and unemployment; (2) the relationship between an increasing rate of inflation and the reduction of unemployment; and (3) some problems with the solution to inflation, (defined as a reduction in the money supply and possibly a return to money that is convertible into a commodity, such as gold).
