This is a very balanced overview of the economic history of the US since WWII and the crucial role that inflation has played over the last 65 years. Samuelson argues convincingly that Reagan's support of Paul Volcker's tight money policy was his single largest accomplishment in domestic policy--not tax or spending policy--that set the stage for the economic recovery of the 80s and 90s. Though I don't agree with all of his views, I credit Samuelson with presenting a fair, non-polemical accounting of the challenges facing the US in economic policy. This book does a particularly good job of showing how the obsession with full employment that developed in the 50s and 60s created a mindset in politicians and regulators that prevented the Federal Reserve from using the tools at its disposal to keep inflation in check. Another important take away from this book is that while the inflation of the 70s is commonly attributed as a policy failure of the Carter administration, this was a problem that had been brewing for several decades which both Democratic and Republican presidents had struggled with. In calm and reasoned prose, Samuelson discusses the need to reform entitlements pointing out that the welfare state "has in part created a reverse Robin Hood effect: It sometimes transfers income from the struggling young to the relaxed old." For anyone who wants a wider understanding of the historical context of our current debates on economic policy, this is a very worthwhile and relatively quick read.
