What causes inflation? When has it surged historically? And which policies best address it? In this concise and timely volume, economist Martha Olney explains what inflation is, its patterns over time, its underlying causes, the controversial Phillips Curve and its possible relevance, anti-inflation policy, and more. From the obvious rise in the cost of living to the more discreet decrease in quality of goods and services, Olney provides an indispensable introduction to the concept of inflation and what we can do to address its effects.Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003eInflation: Impact, Measurement, Terminology, and some Technical Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2\u003cbr\u003eHistorical Patterns of Inflation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3\u003cbr\u003eWhat Causes Inflation?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4\u003cbr\u003eThe Phillips Curve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5\u003cbr\u003eAnti-Inflation Policy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6\u003cbr\u003eApplying What We Have Learned“Written in accessible language with plenty of practical applications of economic theory, this book will appeal to readers seeking to understand inflation and the tools used by the Federal Reserve to manage it.” – Jennifer Michaelson for \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003eMartha Olney is Teaching Professor Emerita from the Department of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley.
