Hayek

Inflation is probably the most important single factor in that vicious circle wherein one kind of government action makes more and more government control necessary. For this reason all those who wish to stop the drift toward increasing government control should concentrate their effort on monetary policy.

• Oppose Quote does not reflect current modern thinking about inflation. Additionally, it is hard to parse and difficult for the layman to understand. 61.18.170.60 (talk) 11:20, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
