Abstract
In the preceding chapters we have expounded the corpus of the theory and policy of inflation as it exists in the mid-1970s. Given the scope and intensity of current research, this corpus is bound to undergo marked changes, even in the next few years. It is not at all easy to predict the direction which these changes will take. Nevertheless in this concluding chapter we shall make the attempt. More precisely, we shall try to identify that part of current work which, because of its excellence and its concentration on fundamental problems, appears destined to become part of the corpus, once it has been more fully developed.
