SIU Economist Sees Nixon Proposals Slowing Inflation
Charles G. Statin of Southern Illinois University says the Nixon package will almost certainly slow inflation, with little employment impact and lasting global bitterness. He calls it the most dramatic policy shift since early New Deal bank closings. He notes tax cuts may boost employment but reduced spending will offset gains, and tariff hikes could lower imports while provoking retaliation and loss of export jobs.
