Sergio Rebelo, professor of international finance at the Kellogg School of Management in Northwestern University in Illinois: stronger policy decisions need to be taken to avoid a repeat of the 1970s inflation crisis

Sergio Rebelo, professor of international finance at the Kellogg School of Management in Northwestern University in Illinois, said the rate of inflation in the US economy was running at 40-year highs, and stronger policy decisions needed to be taken to avoid a repeat of the 1970s inflation crisis.
