{"product_id":"9789814504935","title":"Quantitative Easing As A Highway To Hyperinflation","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book addresses the topical issue of whether the current environment in the US and other major countries, where quantitative easing is used to boost the economy, is conducive to the emergence of hyperinflation. This is a controversial and highly debated issue. Using both economics and history, the author challenges the view that quantitative easing will not lead to hyperinflation and argues that hyperinflation, or at least high inflation, is likely to appear eventually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines all the propositions put forward for and against the eventuality of hyperinflation in the US, using illustrations based on actual and simulated data. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the current fiscal position of the US government, particularly the levels of external debt and unfunded liabilities, will not be rectified without resorting to inflationary financing. The book would be useful not only for policy makers and economists but also for non-specialist observers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInflation, Deflation, Disinflation and All That\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Measurement of Inflation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Monetary Theory of Inflation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther Theories of Inflation and Some Extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Consequences and Costs of Inflation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Phenomenon of Hyperinflation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe History of Fiat Money and Hyperinflation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyperinflationary Episodes since the 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Status Quo: Heading Towards Hyperinflation?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeading Indicators of U.S. Hyperinflation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcluding Thoughts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Professionals, researchers and general public interested in understanding whether quantitative easing will lead to hyperinflation.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185221746928,"sku":"9789814504935","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814504935_p0.jpg?v=1763691933","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814504935","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
