Inflation

""An essential dose of clear thinking on one of the most contentious issues in economic policy. In an age of increasing uncertainty, if we are to avoid a retreat to knee-jerk austerity, we need a new inflation playbook. This is an excellent start."" -- Adam Tooze, author of the Chartbook Substack and professor of history at Columbia University ""Inflation is a serious contender for the most misunderstood and weaponized issue in economics and politics. The authors do a great service to their readers by explaining what is at stake in the heated debates of recent years."" -- Isabella Weber, award-winning economist and author of How China Escaped Shock Therapy ""This wonderful book demystifies competing narratives about inflation to prepare you for a world in which the winners and losers may have to deal with the price hikes caused by climate change and geopolitics."" -- Dani Rodrik, author of The Globalization Paradox ""Mark Blyth and Nicolò Fraccaroli convincingly argue that we are entering the age of supply-side driven inflation. As economic fragmentation increases, supply chains break, and economic coercion replaces competition. Inflation will prepare you for the new normal."" -- Branko Milanovic, author of Capitalism, Alone ""Understanding the recent rise and fall of inflation is essential. Inflation clearly analyzes pandemic-era inflation while making the compelling argument that the go-to tools of higher interest rates by central banks must be reconsidered."" -- Claudia Sahm, chief economist at New Century Advisors and creator of the Sahm Rule ""[A] brilliant primer about a phenomenon that we thought was behind us but has come back with a vengeance."" -- Edward Luce - Financial Times, ‘Best summer books of 2025’
