Does unemployment cure inflation at Versailles summit
The Versailles summit debates whether rising inflation causes unemployment or vice versa. Analysts like Fellner and Feldstein argue a long high unemployment may suppress inflation, while Reagan seeks a short term Keynesian remedy. Leaders endorsed growth and prudent deficits while rejecting stimulative policies that risk inflation. The final communique urged growth with a firm inflation fight, encapsulating a "no inflation, no deflation, no reflation" stance.
