The cost-of-living explosion since the COVID pandemic has raised alarms about a possible return of a 1970's-style \"Great Inflation.\" Some observers even fear a descent into the kind of Weimar-style hyperinflation that has torn apart so many nations. Is this true? If so, what should be done? How should we prepare for the future?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInflation\u003c\/em\u003e answers these and other questions in an engaging discussion that draws on the singular expertise of Steve Forbes, chairman 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors say that today's problems can be solved by discarding longstanding beliefs that helped bring on the current crisis. They include the notion that central banks can create prosperity through artificially creating money \"out of thin air,\" and also that economic \"stability\" requires \"a little inflation.\" Such ideas for decades have been Holy Writ in official Washington. \u003cem\u003eInflation\u003c\/em\u003e shows why they are misguided. The book also explains why the current rage for heedless money-printing advocated by left-wing advocates of so-called Modern Monetary Theory is likely to lead the nation--and the world--down the road to disaster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePacked with examples from the headlines and from history \u003cem\u003eInflation\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique, real-world exploration of the subject that addresses everyday concerns of Americans under siege by rising prices, including steps you should take to protect your wealth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInflation\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for everyone seeking to navigate these tumultuous times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Forbes \u003c\/b\u003eis chairman of Forbes Media, the foremost name in business information.
