Join us on Friday, July 25th at 6pm as we host Mark Blyth in conversation with Aditi Atul Sahasrabuddhe to discuss his latest release, Inflation: A Guide for Losers . Signed copies of the book are available for purchase. About the book: One of the Financial Times 's Best Summer Books of 2025 "An essential dose of clear thinking on one of the most contentious issues in economic policy." ―Adam Tooze A fresh, revealing, and myth-busting guide to the ins and outs of inflation from two leading political economists. Inflation is back, and its impact can be felt everywhere, from the grocery store to the mortgage market to the results of elections around the world. What's more, tariffs and trade wars threaten to accelerate inflation again. Yet the conventional wisdom about inflation is stuck in the past. Since the 1970s, there has only really been one playbook for fighting inflation: raise interest rates, thereby creating unemployment and a recession, which will lower prices. But this simple story hides a multitude of beliefs about why prices go up and how policymakers can wrestle them back down, beliefs that are often wrong, damaging, and have little empirical basis. Leading political economists Mark Blyth and Nicolò Fraccaroli reveal why inflation really happens, challenge how we think about it, and argue for fresh approaches to combat it. With accessible and engaging commentary, and a good dose of humor, Blyth and Fraccaroli bring the complexities of economic policy and inflation indices down to earth. Policymakers around the world may have pulled off a so-called "soft landing," but Inflation warns they must update their thinking. Now tariffs, climate shocks, demographic change, geopolitical tensions, and politicians promising to upend the global order are all combining to create a more inflationary future, making a new paradigm for understanding inflation urgently necessary. Astute, timely, and engaging, Inflation is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping our economy and politics. About the author: Mark Blyth is a political economist and professor at Brown University. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island. Information Source: Symposium Books | eventbrite
