Brazil’s battle with hyperinflation

Geoff Riley

This is a super piece on the economic and social benefits from successful policies to bring about price stability in a Brazilian economy that has suffered from hyperinflation during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Very good on the consequences of high and volatile inflation on real incomes, the incentive to save and the asymmetric impact of rampant inflation on different social groups.
