We Need to Talk About Inflation: 14 Urgent Lessons from the Last 2,000 Years is an economics book by Stephen D. King that examines inflation as a recurring historical and policy problem rather than a temporary anomaly. Drawing on episodes from ancient Rome to modern central banking, King argues that inflation returns when governments, monetary authorities, and investors become too confident that it has been permanently tamed. The book is both a historical survey and a contemporary policy critique, written in response to the inflation surge that followed years of low rates, asset purchases, and reliance on models that treated rising prices as unlikely. Its purpose is to show how inflation emerges, why it is often misdiagnosed, and what happens when officials respond too slowly or with the wrong assumptions. Rather than offering a technical manual, it uses long-run history to expose patterns in policy mistakes, currency credibility, and the social consequences of rising prices.
