Inflation clash shows US and UK rely on different tools
In Washington President Johnson leans on persuasion while Prime Minister Wilson uses administrative power to curb inflation. Wilson can push anti inflation steps like limiting travel funds and tighter installment rules without full parliamentary approval, unlike Johnson who would need congressional backing. The war in Vietnam complicates Johnson’s path as labor and spending pressures rise.
