錢，越來越不值錢……政府別再印鈔票了！ 自從2008年金融風暴以來、以及新冠疫情肆虐，各國都採取寬鬆貨幣政策，壓低利率，一旦景氣反轉，十分可能引發「通膨」！「通膨」這個名詞在財經新聞中隨處可見，彷彿它是洪水猛獸，彷彿大眾很了解它，但其實對它的了解少之又少，又充滿誤解。到底何謂通貨膨脹（inflation）？暢銷書《一課經濟學》作者亨利‧赫茲利特，在本書中徹底解析通貨膨脹現象，它如何發生？如何解決？誰獲利？誰受害？ 這本書從通膨與物價、金價、貨幣供給量、工資率、失業率的相互影響關係，到金融體系的穩定性、金本位制度的優點，做了廣泛而清晰的解釋。 作者是經驗豐富、備受推崇的經濟專業記者，長年在《紐約時報》、《新聞週刊》撰寫經濟評論，教育了數百萬讀者了解經濟學的入門知識。他在本書一開頭就提到： 事實上，通貨膨脹就是「貨幣及信用供給的增加」。如果你去查辭典，你會發現通貨膨脹的第一個定義是：「一國貨幣（currency）不適當地擴張或增加，特別是以發行無法兌換回金銀幣的紙幣形式來增加。」而第二個定義才是：「肇因於紙鈔或是銀行信用不適當的擴張，所導致的物價大幅上漲。」 所以，「物價上漲」只是通貨膨脹的一個結果而已，只是一般媒體常常將兩者混為一談。想要了解通膨對於總體經濟的各種效應，了解「通膨和貨幣的經濟學」，本書是最佳的參考書籍。

Inflation is a simple topic, in that the basic concepts are something that everyone can understand. However, inflation is not a simplistic topic. The composition of inflation and what the different in

All central banks manage the supply of money and credit in their countries, increasing and decreasing them as needed to provide what economies need to keep growing. The way central banks typically handle that job involves short-term interest rates. But when inflation is low, central banks can't use their usual methods to get money and credit into an economy that needs it. Several essays in this volume describe the work of economists who have investigated problems that central banks might have when inflation gets low. Other essays investigate related questions such as whether an economy suffers when it moves from high inflation to low inflation, what the costs of inflation are to economic welfare, and whether a little bit of inflation can actually be good for economic growth.
