The road to price stability

Athanasios Orphanides

No 2006-05, Finance and Economics Discussion Series from Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (U.S.)

Abstract: Nearly a quarter-century after Paul Volcker's declaration of war on inflation on October 6, 1979, Alan Greenspan declared that the goal had been achieved. Drawing on the extensive historical record, I examine the views of Chairmen Volcker and Greenspan on some aspects of the evolving monetary policy debate and explore some of the distinguishing characteristics of the disinflation.
