About this product

Product Information

A FINANCIAL TIMES "BOOK TO READ IN 2023" "Everything you wanted to know about inflation but were afraid to ask."--Mervyn King "King's lessons command our attention."--Lawrence H. Summers "Maybe you don't think inflation is back for good. That is your right. But you'd be advised to read this book first."--Stephanie Flanders From investors and monetary authorities to governments and policy makers, almost everyone had assumed inflation was dead and buried. But now people the world over are confronting a poisonous new economic reality and, with it, the prospect of vast and increasing wealth inequality. How have we arrived in this situation? And what, if anything, can we do about it? Celebrated economist Stephen D. King--one of the few to warn ahead of time about the latest inflationary upheaval--identifies key lessons from the history of inflation that policy makers chose not to heed. From ancient Rome through the American Civil War and up to the asset bubbles of today, inflation stems from policy error, sovereign greed, and a collective loss of faith in currencies. We Need to Talk About Inflation cuts through centuries of bad judgment and misunderstanding, offering a means to intervene now--so we can begin to tackle the political and social upheaval unleashed by inflation.

Reviews
"Not just a useful and well-written account of inflation for the layman, but a contribution to a debate that is still very much live. A brilliantly clear and concise new history."--Juliet Samuel, Times (UK) "As with all the best economists, King's views are grounded in an understanding of our historical experience."--Roger Bootle, Daily Telegraph "Highly readable and informative. . . . King's timely book should be essential reading for economic policymakers everywhere."--Nick Macpherson, Financial Times "[An] excellent and readable new book about the re-emergence of inflation."--Larry Elliot, The Guardian "[A] lively polemic. . . . King's view is that getting inflation back down to 2 percent will involve breaking more eggs than the authorities are prepared to acknowledge."--Howard Davies, Literary Review "A powerful combination of history, current affairs and economic analysis."--Mohamed A. El-Erian, on Twitter "Equal parts history lesson, policy primer and cri de coeur for index-linked pocket money, We Need to Talk About Inflation makes its subject as engaging as it is urgent--highly recommended for aspiring economists, and actual economists in search of historical perspective."--Tom Orlik, chief economist for Bloomberg Economics, on Twitter A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Business & Economics Book, Spring 2023 Announcements Issue "Most of those who have to deal with inflation are too young to remember when it was last a serious issue.

Summers, former US Treasury Secretary "Everything you wanted to know about inflation but were afraid to ask. This book is timely, well-researched and very well-written."--Mervyn King, former Governor of the Bank of England "Inflation, once it has taken hold, is economically damaging, socially corrosive, and exceedingly hard to bring down. Stephen King provides a convincing diagnosis of the inflation problem--what caused it, why nobody expected it, and what its consequences will be--and a sober assessment of what it will take to solve it."--Diane Coyle, author of Cogs and Monsters: What Economics Is, and What It Should Be "Reading Stephen King over the years has often given me advance notice of the next big economic story. Maybe you don't think inflation is back for good. That is your right. But you'd be advised to read this book first."--Stephanie Flanders, Head of Economics and Government at Bloomberg, A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Business & Economics Book, Spring 2023 Announcements Issue "Most of those who have to deal with inflation are too young to remember when it was last a serious issue.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
