Summary, etc. This book marks the first and pioneer attempt in the application of the tools of pure theory for an analysis, in a macro-economic framework, of the problem of inflation in post-war India. Any attempt to explore the whole territory of inflation with so fragile a vehicle as a doctoral thesis, however high the standard of performance, might well be held sufficient evidence of a diffuseness doomed to be superficial. If this book made any such pretension there would, I think, be no answer to this charge. But while its apparent range is wide it makes no claim to do more than survey certain aspects of the field, and it ignores large areas which many may judge to be more deserving of study.<br/><br/>The study was begun in the Spring of 1953 in the London School of Economics and Political Science and was completed as a doctoral thesis in the Autumn of 1956 (with a break of over a year due to illness) when it was accepted by the University of London for the Ph.D. (Econ.) degree. The usual obstacles have been encountered throughout but none was more crucial than the factor of time. However, during the two years elapsing since the original writing, the manuscript has undergone some revision and abridgement with the end in view of making the material under standable to the general reader though they have not involved any undue sacrifice of the standards of scholarship. In addition, the first and the last chapters contain material which was not presented in the original version. The lay reader will do well to skip over some of the technical discussions but the remainder of the book is quite understandable to those without any formal training in economic theory. Thus, care has been taken to avoid too much of technical preoccupation of professional economists so far as the theme has allowed and to make the discussions accessible to the wider circle of those who have a lively sense of the intimate relation between economic theory and practice in the world today and have little time for what is merely 'light-bearing', without at the same time being 'fruit-bearing'.
