Abstract

The well-known economist Professor Tim Congdon has attacked the Bank of England (BoE) in an op-ed in the Telegraph newspaper for letting inflation rise to the highest level since it was made independent 25 years – by the Labour government after the 1997 election victory of Tony Blair[i]. He argued, as the headline for the piece put it, that ‘ Labour created a Bank that doesn’t understand inflation’ Congdon laments the fact that as he sees it, the BoE “took the measures that have pushed money growth to its current excessive level” and that the bank’s analysis of inflation is “entirely non-monetary”, ..and..”could even be criticised as atheoretical, scrappy and ad hoc”.
