As the political agenda of Nazi Germany grew to diverge from the agenda of the U.S. and other democratic countries, an important question began to evolve. How far could this political and economic compatibility, or incompatibility, be stretched? And what would such compatibilities hold for the contemporary global economy?

(Book by Cagan, Phillip)
After my early study of hyperinflations, the study of the United States money supply occupied me for many years. While still associated with the National Bureau of Economie Research, New York, New York, United States of America, I also did related studies of interest rates and saving behaviour. But my research interests have mainly involved issues in current monetary policy and the nature of inflation and problems of combating it.
A major problem is the slow adjustment of prices, and several of my studies focussed on price behaviour. I expect to continue writing about the problem of combating inflation and in particular examining further how to conduct an anti-inflationary monetary policy under financial innovations, and how to fashion monetary controls in the payments regime of the future.
