"Starting in the late 1970s, the nation's leaders sought to break a corrosive cycle of rising inflation and stagnating output by remaking the U.S. economy in the image of its frontier predecessor--deregulating industries, shrinking social programs and promoting a free-market ideal in which everyone must forge his or her own path, free to rise or fall on merit of luck. On the whole, their effort to transform the economy has succeeded." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article discusses the government's response to inflation and reveals the impact these policies have had on the American family.
