Rezensionen

"This book is a very well-researched history of the development of measures of inflation in the UK over the past three hundred years. It is also a source of technical information for anybody wanting to delve into the detail of how consumer price indices are compiled." (John Astin, Significance Magazine, Vol. 15 (05), October, 2018)
