This volume presents the latest thoughts of as brilliant group of young economists on one of the most persistent economic problems facing the United States ad the world, inflation. Rather than attempting an encyclopedic effort or offering specific policy recommendations, the contributors have emphasized the diagnosis of problems and the description of events that economists most thoroughly understand. Reflecting a dozen diverse views-many of which challenge established orthodoxy-they illuminate the economic and political processes involved in this important issue.

Paul Krugman

This new book weaves together recent articles and addresses, some of them never before published, into a short, compelling narrative on the major issues of the late 1990s: unemployment, globalization, economic growth, financial speculation, and more. Some of the pieces start with current issues, like corporate downsizing or the crisis set off by monetary policy in Thailand, while others explode plausible-sounding ideas that happen to be false, like pinning the blame for our economic woes on the internationalization of commerce when the real culprit is a failure of resolve in domestic policy. All are joined by Krugman's characteristically clear-eyed view of the basic economics behind the issues and by the wit and energy with which he applies those principles.
