Nixon's 60 day freeze and the global economic gamble
The article argues the 60 day price freeze is a reaction to rising inflation and a failed Phase II. It cites 9.2 percent consumer inflation from February to April and a 23.4 percent wholesale price index rise in May. It links deficits, trade imbalances, and new laws to pollution and safety as fueling costs, while noting Nixon seeks a balance with China and Russia.
