Inflated: How Money and Debt Built the American Dream by R. Christopher Whalen is a nonfiction book about the history of American money, credit, inflation, and public debt. Written by a veteran investment banker and financial commentator, it traces how the United States developed an economy increasingly dependent on borrowing and monetary expansion. Rather than treating inflation as a temporary disturbance, the book presents it as a recurring feature of American economic life, shaped by government finance, the Federal Reserve, wars, deficits, and the abandonment of gold convertibility. The revised edition places these long-term forces in the context of contemporary concerns such as high housing costs, rising debt burdens, cryptocurrencies, and the future value of the dollar. Its purpose is both historical and diagnostic: to show how the American Dream was financed, why it became vulnerable to debt dependence, and what that means for savers, investors, and future generations.
