An initial 'Keynesian illness'? Friedman on taxation and the inflationary gap

Enrico Levrero

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper examines Friedman’s writings in the years 1941-1943 and compares them with those after the war with a view to assessing differences and similarities. Albeit a first assessment, Friedman’s “Keynesian illness” in his ‘Washington phase’ will appear to have been less ‘serious’ and deep than he himself feared.
