Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the Western world, a whole generation is being priced out of the housing market. For millions of people, particularly millennials, the basic goal of acquiring decent, affordable accommodation is a distant dream. Leading economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that to understand this crisis, we must examine a crucial paradox at the heart of modern capitalism. The interaction of private home ownership and a lightly regulated commercial banking system leads to a feedback cycle. Unlimited credit and money flows into an inherently finite supply of property, which causes rising house prices, declining home ownership, rising inequality and debt, stagnant growth and financial instability. Radical reforms are needed to break the cycle. This engaging and topical book will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand why they can’t find an affordable home, and what we can do about it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controlling inflation is among the most important objectives of economic policy. By maintaining price stability, policy makers are able to reduce uncertainty, improve price-monitoring mechanisms, and facilitate more efficient planning and allocation of resources, thereby raising productivity. This volume focuses on understanding the causes of the Great Inflation of the 1970s and ’80s, which saw rising inflation in many nations, and which propelled interest rates across the developing world into the double digits. In the decades since, the immediate cause of the period’s rise in inflation has been the subject of considerable debate. Among the areas of contention are the role of monetary policy in driving inflation and the implications this had both for policy design and for evaluating the performance of those who set the policy. Here, contributors map monetary policy from the 1960s to the present, shedding light on the ways in which the lessons of the Great Inflation were absorbed and applied to today’s global and increasingly complex economic environment.

Today, however, punishing rents and the increasingly prohibitive cost of ownership have turned housing into the foremost symbol of inequality and an economy gone wrong. Nowhere is this more visible than in the San Francisco Bay Area, where fleets of private buses ferry software engineers past the tarp-and-plywood shanties of the homeless. The adage that California is a glimpse of the nation’s future has become a cautionary tale. With propulsive storytelling and ground-level reporting, New York Times journalist Conor Dougherty chronicles America’s housing crisis from its West Coast epicenter, peeling back the decades of history and economic forces that brought us here and taking readers inside the activist movements that have risen in tandem with housing costs.

Book excerpt: Most observers of the Federal Reserve are willing to credit it with success at achieving low and stable rates of inflation. Many do not even question that the Fed's primary concern should be fighting inflation. However, the targets for monetary policy adopted by the Fed in recent years have not proven to be closely correlated with inflation, and commentators criticize the Fed's apparent predilection to choose whichever target appears to be pointing in the "right" direction. In the search for a target that seems to be closely correlated with inflation, some theorists and policymakers have advocated the use of a price index--most notably the consumer price index (CPI)--as both the target and the goal of monetary policy. Executive Director Dimitri B. Papadimitriou and Research Associate L. Randall Wray argue in this Public Policy Brief that the CPI deviates in several important respects from an ideal theoretical measure of inflation. An ideal measure would, first, accurately reflect market-caused price increases and, second, potentially be under the control of monetary policy. The authors show that the CPI fails in both respects. Papadimitriou and Wray attempt to determine which components of the CPI have tended to pull up the index and to analyze the avenues through which monetary policy might attenuate the rate of price increase of these individual components. Their investigation is consistent with recent concerns over apparent biases in the CPI when used as a cost-of-living index, but their analysis extends beyond such concerns; they also focus on how and why the CPI is not appropriate as a target or goal of monetary policy because the transmission mechanisms through which monetary policy is thought to affect the CPI are tenuous at best. The authors argue that this is due in part to the fact that components of the CPI involve "imputed" values that are largely unconnected with those fundamental market forces likely to be influenced by Fed policy. Papadimitriou and Wray note that although "it is beyond the scope of this Public Policy Brief to examine all of the components of the CPI, we are convinced that use of any index of price changes will be fraught with difficulties similar to those outlined here." The anomalies they find in the CPI's housing component data are not unique; rather, they "suspect there are other important anomalies reflected in the CPI that make it a poor measure of inflation to be used in monetary policy formation." Therefore, careful reconsideration of an alternative ultimate target, such as the rate of economic growth or the unemployment rate, is warranted. However, given the uncertainties involved in the choice of such ultimate targets, the authors think it would be premature for the Fed to commit to any particular goal, especially one of "price stability." Moreover, because the evidence presented here sheds doubt on how central banks might fight inflation or if they can reduce it, and because there is no credible evidence that a moderate rise in interest rates causes smooth curtailment of spending plans, the authors conclude that this is an inappropriate time to amend the Employment Act of 1946 and the Humphrey-Hawkins Act of 1978 and to require the Fed to focus on price stability and to ignore other important economic indicators of our nation's well-being.
