Not In Fear Of Inflation Now By Roger W Babson
Babson argues inflation fears are misdirected and urges practical measures. He cites rising costs since 1937 and stock-market analogies, claims labor and politicians drive inflation, and proposes longer work days and armament spending without tax hikes to stabilize the economy. He asserts deflation would follow wars but contends current trends differ and Russia would be defeated by increased production.
