We are delighted to share the third instalment of our esteemed Adam Smith Series where we host insightful discussions with the world’s leading economists. In this segment, we are thrilled to host Stephen D. King, renowned economist and author, who delves into his critically acclaimed book, ‘We Need To Talk About Inflation: 14 Urgent Lessons from the Last 2,000 Years’.
In his book, Stephen D. King, identifies key lessons from the history of inflation that policy makers chose not to heed. From ancient Rome through the American Civil War and up to the asset bubbles of today, inflation stems from policy error, sovereign greed, and a collective loss of faith in currencies.
