Hayek Warns of Unemployment to Curb Inflation
Nobel laureate Friedrich A von Hayek argued on NBC Meet the Press that inflation could be tamed only by allowing higher unemployment. He noted a potential period of unemployment lasting over a year, with possible rises to 13 or 14 percent, saying the economy could endure a temporary spike for the sake of stability. He also referenced Greenspan suggesting a money policy that could briefly improve unemployment at the cost of eventual inflation and another recession.
