Between Scyla (inflation) and Caribdis (recession)

Main Article Content

Javier Gorosquieta Reyes, S.I.

Abstract

The author maintains that the art of politics consists of reaching a high level of growth and creation of employment within a framework of stable prices and budgetary balance; the risk being to suffer inflation or recession. He reminds us that the shock caused by oil prices rises in 1973 was fought with a policy of offer. On the other hand, in 1999 the fear of deflation has once again placed the policy of demand in the foreground. The danger of recession in the United States makes us fear a similar situation for Spanish economy. The author closes by proposing an antidepressant policy followed, once recuperation begins, by an anti– inflationist policy
