Hardback. Zustand: Good. Target 2%: Easing Inflation in an Uncertain World How should the Fed finish the inflation-reduction job and prepare for the changing world ahead, addressing challenges of tariffs, supply chain "shocks," and changes in the status of the dollar and the nature of international cooperation? Finishing the Inflation Job and New Challenges in Monetary Policy collects essays and discussions from the annual Hoover Institution Monetary Policy Conference, held on May 9, 2025, exploring these themes and considering other big-picture issues that affect monetary policy in this volatile international environment. Each year, the conference brings together academics, policymakers, media members, and others to consider the issues affecting monetary policy, both in the United States and worldwide. In her welcoming remarks to the conference, Hoover Director Condoleezza Rice sets the tone, stating that the United States is "experiencing an avalanche of uncertainty," with everything about the international order in question, including the United States' role in it. With inflation still stubbornly above the Federal Reserve's 2% target at the time of the conference, how to finish the inflation-reduction job was a natural point of focus. But contributors also explore in depth many other challenges and questions on monetary policy that lie ahead: How should central banks counter a new surge of inflation, should one arise? What lessons should we take from the 2021-22 inflationary episode? Are tariffs the next supply shock? How should central banks adapt their formal strategies, constructed in an era of zero-interest rates and low inflation? How should financial regulation adapt to the uncertainties of geopolitics and the big technological innovations going on around us? This year's conference included a celebration of the life and career of John B. Taylor. Many essays convey this spirit of homage, noting the influence of Taylor and the Taylor rule on policymaking. Among its eight sections, the book proceeds by exploring current issues in finance and the financial regulation of cryptocurrency, the growing role of private credit, and how the history of the price stability objective reverberates in the present day. Monetary policy must adapt to this very new world.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. With the inflation rate in the United States and many other countries on the rise for over a year and nearing double digits, the Hoover Institution hosted its 2022 conference on monetary policy. Policy makers, market participants, and academic researchers gathered to discuss the situation. Many agreed that low interest rates and high money growth were inappropriate given the high inflation rate and evidence that the United States has recovered from the deep recession induced by the pandemic and its policy response in 2020. The thoughtful papers and the thorough discussions in this volume of conference proceedings illustrate the debate about the reasons for this mismatch, as well as how to get back on track. They reflect a range of opinions and perspectives, including examination of the fiscal shock resulting from the COVID pandemic and the related borrowing and spending; emphasis on the value of adherence to rules versus discretion in setting Fed policy; lessons from history in the spikes in federal expenditures during times of war (including the pandemic) and in the timing of the Fed's use of its policy instruments; the role of central banks in the emerging inflation crisis; and s.…
