They were provided by a large sales finance company to represent changes in terms and experience in twelve metropolitan areas during this period. These areas were selected on the basis of their employment experience in 195 3—55 to encom- pass the complete spectrum of labor market situations as defined by the Bureau of Employment Security, as well as to cover the country geographically. The period to which the data apply was, of course, basically a fairly prosperous period, but it does include the mild busi- ness contraction of July 1953—August 1954. During this recession we have traced a number of the relevant economic variables by means of cross-sectional analysis.

History is replete with instances where, even in the light of obvious and flagrant macroeconomics disequilibria, the implementation of stabilization programs is significantly delayed. Why do policymakers and/or politicians prefer to live with growing inflationary pressures and implement price and other forms of highly inefficient con- trols instead of tackling the roots of macroeconomic imbalances? Is the prolongation of inflation the consequence of mistaken views on the me- chanics of fiscal deficits and money creation, or is it the unavoidable result of the political game? Why, after months of apparent political stalemate, are stabilization programs all of a sudden adopted that closely resemble others proposed earlier? These questions are at the heart of the political economy of stabilization and inflationary finance.1 In recent years the analysis of these issues has attained new interest, as a number of authors have applied the tools of game theory to the study of macroeconomic pol- icymaking.
