Washington, DC—What is behind the worst inflationary storm in more
than forty years—one that is dominating the headlines and shaking
Americans by their pocketbooks? The cost-of-living explosion since
the COVID pandemic has raised alarms about a possible return of a
1970s-style “Great Inflation.” Some observers even fear a descent
into the kind of raging hyperinflation that has torn apart so many
nations. Is this true? If so, how should we prepare for the
future? |
INFLATION: What It Is, Why It’s Bad, and How to Fix It (Encounter
Books, April 19, 2022), answers these and other questions in an
engaging discussion that draws on the singular expertise of Steve
Forbes, chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes Media, acclaimed for
his insights on money and the economy; Nathan Lewis, internationally
renowned expert on money and taxation; and author and journalist
Elizabeth Ames. INFLATION ultimately contends that despite what the
experts routinely say, “no nation has ever gotten rich by eroding
the value of its money.” And it explains why stable money and
pro-market policies, including lower taxes, would stop inflation and
reignite American prosperity.
INFLATION outlines the dangers we face: “Almost daily, people are
shocked by media reports of double-digit increases in the price of
food, gas, automobiles, and other essentials. Adding to public
anxiety is an ever-mounting level of government spending, causing
federal debt to now exceed the size of the entire US economy.”
Rising prices, however, are only the symptoms and not the cause of
the problem. INFLATION explains that, while “transitory” market
forces may help push up prices, the fundamental cause of severe,
long-term inflation is always a decline in the value of money—which
most often occurs when governments and central banks pump too much
into the economy.
The answer to inflation, say the authors, is discarding long-held
misperceptions that helped bring on the current crisis. They
include the notion that central banks can create prosperity by
producing money out of thin air, and that economic “stability”
requires “a little inflation.” For decades these ideas have been
Holy Writ in Washington. INFLATION shows why they’re misguided, and
also why the heedless money-printing being pushed today by left-wing
advocates of “Modern Monetary Theory” would lead us down the road
to disaster.
INFLATION argues that “The best way to end inflation, and to spur
economic growth, is through a return to a sound dollar anchored by
gold. A gold standard simply links the greenback to gold, in much
the same way that dozens of countries today link their currencies to
the dollar or euro. The US relied on a sound dollar for nearly two
centuries and it became the wealthiest country in the history of the
world.”
Packed with examples from the headlines and from
history, INFLATION is a unique, real-world exploration of the
subject that addresses everyday concerns of Americans under siege by
rising prices, including steps individuals should take to protect
their wealth.
Written in an accessible style for all Americans, INFLATION is
essential reading for everyone seeking to navigate these tumultuous
times. |
