Beyond Price Stability

Faced with the challenges of the climate crisis, slow growth, unemployment and inequality, does the financial and monetary system need a new constitutional purpose.

La inflación en la teoría económica
¿Qué es la inflación? ¿Por qué es relevante? ¿Hay una teoría consensuada con respecto a sus orígenes y sus causas o es un concepto más bien polémico? Sobre estas cuestiones trata precisamente este texto: empezamos definiendo lo que significa realmente la inflación para adentrarnos luego en el debate teórico desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar y pluralista: ¿cuál es su causa?, ¿qué factores influyen en ella? y en consecuencia, ¿qué podemos hacer al respecto?
