Why you should read The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath
Recessionary times have led many people to re-evaluate their long-held beliefs about the financial system. His history-based economic analysis makes journalist Robert Samuelson’s fresh investigation of the insidious effects of inflation especially interesting. He covers the advent of inflation in the U.S. in the 1960s, and explains how it changed the nation’s economic thought and vision. Like a mutated gene, inflation assumed a life of its own and spawned the “new economy.” Samuelson presents a provocative, if debatable, argument about economics and prosperity. getAbstract recommends this detailed, advanced economics report and assures readers who stick with it that it will reward them with deeper understanding and fresh insights.
