Inflation Control Failures

Translator A AI

Summary

"Inflation Control Failures" examines the United States' struggle to manage soaring inflation during the 1970s, focusing on the use and ultimate failure of wage-price controls. The book argues that these controls, intended to curb inflation, neglected the core monetary and fiscal drivers, leading to market distortions and inefficiencies. It highlights how political considerations often overshadowed sound economic principles, contributing to policy missteps. This deep dive into economic history offers valuable lessons for today's policymakers facing similar inflationary pressures.

 
The book begins by setting the stage with the factors leading to the 1970s crisis, such as expansionary monetary policies and supply shocks. It then analyzes the Nixon administration's implementation of wage-price controls, tracing their evolution and eventual dismantling. By drawing on economic data, policy documents, and accounts from those involved, "Inflation Control Failures" provides a comprehensive assessment of the impact of these controls on inflation, employment, and economic growth, offering a nuanced perspective on why these interventions proved ineffective.

Life under Pressure - The Social...

Seth Abrutyn, Anna S. Mueller

A rare study that transforms our understanding of why youth die by suicide, why youth suicide clusters happen, and how to stop them 
 
 
 
In Life under Pressure, Anna S. Mueller and Seth Abrutyn investigate the social roots of youth suicide and why certain places weather disproportionate incidents of adolescent suicides and suicide clusters. Through close examination of kids' lives in a community repeatedly rocked by youth suicide clusters, Mueller and Abrutyn reveal how the social worlds that youth inhabit and the various messages they learn in those spaces—about who they are supposed to be, mental illness, and help-seeking—shape their feelings about themselves and in turn their risk of suicide. With great empathy, Mueller and Abrutyn also identify the moments when adults unintentionally fail kids by not talking to them about suicide, teaching them how to seek help, or helping them grieve. 
 
 
 
Through stories of survival, resilience, and even rebellion, Mueller and Abrutyn show how social environments can cause suicide and how they can be changed to help kids discover a life worth living. By revealing what it is like to live and die in one community, Life under Pressure offers tangible solutions to one of the twenty-first century's most tragic public health problems.

Burning Out on the COVID Front...

Dhaval R Desai M.D.

This memoir tells the story of Georgia physician Dhaval Desai's life during the Covid-19 pandemic. As a new father, frontline physician and healthcare leader on the brink of burnout, and a member of an ethnic minority in the South, his tale is marked by chaotic intersections.  His commitment to fostering and advocating for humanity in medicine inspired him to write a personal narrative of his experience as a frontline physician during the COVID-19 pandemic, "Burning Out on the Covid Front Lines: A Doctor’s Memoir of Fatherhood, Race and Perseverance in the Pandemic". Along with sharing the story of his own struggles as a leader and healer during a time of intense pressure and uncertainty for countless doctors, nurses, and hospital workers, Dr. Desai calls attention to ongoing issues plaguing the healthcare system, including health inequality, racial injustice, an emphasis on metrics over compassion in treatment, and the alarming rate of burnout and suicide among healthcare professionals.
