The Complexities of Inflation and Economic Policy
This chapter examines inflation as a nonlinear dynamical system, highlighting discrepancies between consumer price indices and actual asset inflation. It critiques traditional economic metrics for their failure to capture true market dynamics and argues for a reassessment of monetary policy's impact on inequality and economic efficiency. The discussion also explores the implications of expanding government ambitions and the complexities of governance in relation to inflation and currency value.
