The Fiscal Theory of the Price Level is a 2023 economics book by John H. Cochrane that presents a systematic defense and development of fiscal theory as an explanation of inflation and deflation. Rather than treating the price level as determined mainly by the central bank, the book argues that government debt, taxes, and spending commitments are central to understanding why prices move. Cochrane frames inflation as an outcome of the public sector’s intertemporal budget constraint: if the market does not believe future surpluses will be sufficient to back outstanding nominal debt, prices must adjust. The book is both theoretical and policy oriented, combining formal models with historical and institutional discussion. It also places fiscal theory in dialogue with standard New Keynesian monetary analysis, making it relevant to readers interested in macroeconomic theory, government debt sustainability, and the limits of monetary policy in high debt economies.
