Popis: | A careful review and comparison of the tools used during wartime to combat inflation in Korea and to control it in Vietnam is undertaken. It examines the trend in the major inflationary and counterinflationary forces--government expenditures and tax revenue, advances to U.N. and U.S. forces, credit to the private sector, domestic production, and imports--and shows how the import program has been a major factor in controlling Vietnamese inflation. In addition, the trend in the velocity of money and the sensitivity of the tax structure to inflation in each country are examined. The analysis provides insights into methods of stabilizing other less-developed nations not in war. |
