Goyette on Inflation

Spring kid activities leave little time for anything except work and . . . spring activities. I get most of my exercise by walking to work, I get most of my ongoing education from podcasts while I walk.

This week, I've been listening to [this lecture](http://mises.org/MediaPlayer.aspx?Id=5330&ref=thedailyeudemon.com) by Charles Goyette about inflation. It's excellent. The "WIN" button, which became popular during the Ford administration, is just one of many novel things I learned. [The WIN button was a grassroots movement supported by the government to stop price increases](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whip%5Finflation%5Fnow?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). It was essentially a government smokescreen to cover up for the fact that the Washington Party created runaway prices through LBJ/Nixon's guns and butter spending, but lots of people bought into it. Another thing I learned: Donald Rumsfeld was head of Nixon's Cost of Living Council, which administered his wage-and-price controls. Dick Cheney was Rumsfeld's assistant. [Corroborated here.](http://www.polyconomics.com/Briefs/brf-010116.htm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)

I bought Goyette's recent book, incidentally. It's very good and highly recommended.
