Looking Back and Looking Ahead Notes IndexReviews"""Binder examines the economic destabilization caused by fluctuations in the cost of goods and the effective—and often controversial—remedies the American government has historically used to steady the market, plus their lasting effects. . . A solid history of American economic policies."" * Library Journal * “In recent decades, economists have made great strides in understanding how monetary and fiscal policy influence inflation. Shock Values dives deeper to show how institutional changes throughout US history have been both a cause and a consequence of an unstable price level. Binder perceptively dissects how public policies meant to control inflation have been driven by a complex mix of special interest politics, ideology, and advances in our understanding of the role of monetary policy.” -- Scott Sumner | author of ""The Money Illusion: Market Monetarism, the Great Recession, and the Future of Monetary Policy"" “Debates about the money supply and price level predate the Revolutionary War and have often been at the forefront of US politics.
