This book, published by the Cato Institute, explores the complexities of inflation, price controls, and economic value. Through a series of essays by various authors, it examines the causes and misconceptions surrounding recent inflationary trends, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical events like the war in Ukraine. The book challenges popular narratives that attribute inflation to corporate greed and explores the role of monetary policy and government interventions. It critiques historical and contemporary price control measures, highlighting their inefficacy and unintended consequences. Aimed at policymakers, economists, and informed readers, the book seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of economic phenomena and advocate for market-based solutions.
