Description
The Cost of Living Crisis uses historical and simulated data to contest the proposition that inflation can be constrained solely through monetary policy and nine potential causes of resurgent inflation are identified, analysed and systematically evaluated. Moosa refutes claims made by central bankers and politicians about their ability to control inflation and recommends the reconsideration of neoliberalism, the implementation of minimum wages, the utilisation of consumer protection and the rethinking of tax codes, foreign policy and militarism. Ultimately, Moosa argues that any action taken to deal with the cost of living crisis should protect the wellbeing of the majority rather than the interests of major corporations.
The Cost of Living Crisis is a thought-provoking read for academics and students of financial economics, regulation, public finance, sociology and economic sociology. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is also of interest to policymakers and politicians engaged in international financial regulation during highly turbulent times.
