Why Problems Do Not Go Away: The Case of Inflation
提出一个由哲学、制度、行政和操作组成的行为结构，分析通货膨胀等持续性问题，认为通胀源于资本主义内在矛盾，除非恢复完全竞争或改变哲学，否则无法根除。
Problems persist despite efforts to solve them because those efforts are irrelevant, inadequate, or unsupported. A behavioral structure consisting of the philosophy of the system in which the problem resides, its institutions, administration, and the operation that implements its policies is devised to analyze persistent problems such as inequality, underdevelopment, and inflation. As a chronic problem in the United States and other capitalist economies, inflation reflects a contradiction within the behavioral structure. Its resolution requires reinstatement of perfect competition, which is improbable, or change of the philosophy, which is revolutionary and equally improbable; hence, inflation will persist regardless of the measures taken against it.
