"If you want to understand the economic events of the last half century, you should read. . . Robert Samuelson's The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath —U.S News & World Report
“Barack Obama . . . should read The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath, [a] timely history of how good political intentions stoked an inflationary hell in the 1970s—and how only bold, painful action smothered the flames.”—James Pressley, Bloomberg
“Samuelson’s clear-eyed focus on the rise and fall of inflation remains relevant today.”—USA Today
