The book provides an original critical, political economist’s introduction to the meaning, causes and consequences of inflation. It argues that it is too easy to think of inflation as a ‘thing’, when price indexes are not only complex statistical but also social constructions. It provides a historical contextualisation of price changes before a detailed engagement with rival theories of inflation’s causes. Emphasising inflation’s complexity and social character, the book both criticises and develops the kernels of truth in existing accounts in moving towards a more satisfactory synthesis. The book finally turns to neglected questions of inflation’s consequences, contesting prevailing claims that it is a general evil. Inflation tends to foster faster growth and reduced inequality.
