Isabella Weber | University of Massachusetts Amherst
Isabella Weber’s presentation will start from How China Escaped Shock Therapy, her book charting China’s early reform debates, when economists and policy-makers were grappling with the question of how to maintain price stability in the transition to a market economy. In the second part of her talk, she will lay out how her China research has led her to an analysis of today’s inflation that considers the systemic significance of certain prices for overall economic stability.
