Abstract: Abstract Few topics are as loaded with ideological baggage as whether inflation, at least in moderation, is desirable or a scourge. It is also clear, at least in nearly all the Western world, which side has won this particular battle of ideas. It is now the conventional wisdom almost everywhere that one of the most significant objectives of economic policy — perhaps the most important of all — is to maintain the average increase in the price level at no more than or about 2 per cent.
