The Cost of Living Crisis

Imad A. Moosa

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This informative book deconstructs two key myths in economic theory and policy, that inflation is always a monetary problem and that it can be contained by raising interest rates. Imad A. Moosa identifies many of the causes of the cost of living crisis and proposes policy reforms to alleviate its effects.
