Inflation, Unemployment, and Monetary Policy

The connection between price inflation and real economic activity has been a focus of macroeconomic research and debate. Although this connection is crucial to our understanding of what monetary policy can and cannot accomplish, opinions about its basic properties have swung widely over the years. Many studying monetary policy acknowledge that, contrary to what many modern macroeconomic models suggest, central bank actions often affect both inflation and measures of real economic activity, such as output, unemployment and incomes. But the nature and magnitude of these effects are not yet understood. In this volume the authors present their views on the dilemmas facing US monetary policymakers. The aim of the book is to make both an intellectual contribution to macroeconomics and a practical contribution to the solution of a public policy question of central importance.

Reform of the International Monetary System: Why and How? (Karl Brunner Distinguished Lecture Series)

The MIT Press

The story of post-9/11 international finance, told from an unmatched vantage point. Sworn in as head of the U.S. Treasury Department's international finance division just three months prior to 9/11, John B. Taylor soon found himself at the center of the war on terror. Global Financial Warriors takes you inside the White House situation room, to meetings of the G7 finance ministers, and to cities around the world as Taylor assembles a coalition to freeze terrorist assets worldwide, plans the financial reconstruction of Afghanistan, oversees the development of a new currency in Iraq, and deals with the spread of financial crises. From reforming the IMF and the World Bank to negotiating international agreements to reduce Iraq's debt by 80 percent and cancel the debt of very poor countries, Taylor's unparalleled access offers the reader not only an insider's account of a pivotal time in international finance but also an invaluable primer on the policy development and operational strategies that helped Taylor and his team succeed. 16 pages of illustrations

Global Financial Warriors: The Untold Story of International Finance in the Post-9/11 World

History

W.W.Norton&Company

Leading economist John B. Taylor’s straightforward plan to rebuild America’s economic future by returning to its founding principles. America’s economic future is uncertain. Mired in a long crippling economic slump and hamstrung by bitter partisan debate over the growing debt and the role of government, the nation faces substantial challenges, exacerbated by a dearth of vision and common sense among its leaders. Prominent Stanford economist John B. Taylor brings his steady voice of reason to the discussion with a natural solution: start with the country’s founding principles of economic and political freedom―limited government, rule of law, strong incentives, reliance on markets, a predictable policy framework―and reconstruct its economic foundation from these proven principles. Channeling his high-level experience as both a policymaker and researcher, Taylor then zeroes in on current policy issues―the budget, monetary policy, government regulation, tax reform―and lays out in simple terms bold strategies designed to place the country on sound footing in each of these areas.

First Principles: Five Keys to Restoring America's Prosperity

“A valuable insider’s account of financial diplomacy in the Bush administration.”―Jeffrey E. Garten, Washington Post Sworn in as head of the U.S. Treasury Department’s international finance division just three months prior to 9/11, John B. Taylor soon found himself at the center of the war on terror. Global Financial Warriors takes you inside the White House Situation Room, to the meetings of the G7 finance ministers, and to cities worldwide as Taylor assembles a coalition to freeze terrorist assets, plans the financial reconstruction in Afghanistan, oversees the development of a new currency in Iraq, and deals with the spread of financial crises.

Leading economist John B. Taylor’s straightforward plan to rebuild America’s economic future by returning to its founding principles. Mired in a crippling economic slump and hamstrung by partisan political debates, America faces substantial economic challenges, from widespread unemployment to the government’s ballooning debt. These assaults on our prosperity reflect the unintended consequences of more than a decade of government intervention in virtually all areas of the economy. Stanford University economist John B. Taylor proposes a natural and reasonable solution to our economic challenges: return to the country’s founding principles―limited government, rule of law, strong incentives, reliance on markets, a predictable policy framework―and rekindle its economic dynamism.

The keys to understanding the machinations of the markets writ large, contend the authors, is rational expectations. It may seem entirely reasonable to suggest and to suppose the a population en bloc will display tendencies that spring from anticipated reactions to their actions,but the notion was resisted mightily by theoreticians who preferred to consult their charts ratherr than the prevailing winds.That is not to say that there is no firm mathematical grounding in these theories; indeed there is, and in plenty, but there is also verification in observed behavior. Hall and Taylor had the burden of proof to support their then novel theories, and one can suppose that they supplied more than enough evidence.Young economists and enlightened humanists, as well as mathematicians and statisticians will find much to satisfy their disciplines, and they must all be careful to take what is presented in small bites lest they find themselves having bitten off more than they can comfortably...chew.
