How did the great inflation end?

The Great Inflation, which peaked in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United States, ended primarily due to the aggressive monetary policies implemented by Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. By significantly raising interest rates, the Fed aimed to curb inflation, which had reached over 13%. This approach led to a recession in the early 1980s but ultimately succeeded in stabilizing prices and restoring confidence in the economy. The combination of tight monetary policy and structural changes in the economy helped to bring inflation under control.


How did the Federal Reserve help bring inflation under control in the 1980s?

In the 1980s, the Federal Reserve, led by Chairman Paul Volcker, implemented a series of aggressive interest rate hikes to combat soaring inflation, which had reached double-digit levels. By increasing the federal funds rate to as high as 20%, the Fed aimed to reduce money supply and curb excessive spending. These measures ultimately led to a recession, but they successfully lowered inflation rates, restoring stability to the economy by the mid-1980s. The Fed's commitment to controlling inflation helped establish its credibility and set a foundation for future monetary policy.
