Actually, Kindelberger's book is a classic in the field, and should be required reading for the thread. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Guess the "old guys" like Buffett, Templeton and this guy are getting the last laugh...

Econ textbooks by Kindleberger & Stone were the foundation of my Economics classes at UC Berkeley 25 years ago. Its nice he's still around.

Certainly made mincemeat of the silly arguments at the time that inflation was a "structural problem" rather than simply the lack of monetary discipline that it actually was. Now we have deflation. How long before Bush puts on his "Whip Deflation Now" pin. Of course it'll have to spell out some nifty acronym.
