Summary:

In "Inflation Is About More Than Money", Brian Griffiths charts recent history and policy developments with regard to inflation. He sees inflation as a moral problem: a form of taxation and deceit that those in positions of authority should always seek to address. Considering a range of theoretical approaches to inflation, he advances a pragmatic monetarist approach and offers a series of concrete recommendations for both dealing with inflation and protecting against it in the future. In addition, the author examines the cultural factors at play, such as disillusionment with democracy and social fragmentation. He argues for the importance of a shared moral framework, or "sacred canopy", to underpin our collective purpose and provide a foundation for economic, social and political stability. Accessible and engaging, "Inflation Is About More Than Money" will appeal to those who are interested in questions of wealth and poverty, the role of central banks and politicians, responsible economic management, and the importance of moral values in economic and political life.
