Crum, W. L.
4/1  (Fall 1961): 96-107

Inflation is everybody's business. It affects every pocketbook, every dollar of savings or capital reserve, every purchase, every contract or other commitment involving a term of time and in the long run, every job. Therefore, the present and continuing threat of inflation in the economic affairs is vitally important to everyone and it is discussed not just in terms of its effect on business, but of its often disastrous impact on the welfare of our country and of citizens in general. Inflation is actively and powerfully promoted by various citizens and groups of citizens.
