      abstract = {This book analyses the controversial and critical issue of  2% inflation targeting, currently practised by central  banks in the US, Japan and Europe. Where did the 2% target  inflation originate, and for what reason? Do these reasons  stand up to scrutiny? This book explores these key  questions, contributing to the growing debate that the  global 2% inflation standard prescribed by the central  banks in the advanced economies globally is actually  contributing to the economic malaise of these nations. It  presents novel theoretical perspectives, intertwined with  historical and market understanding, and features analysis  that draws on monetary theory (including Austrian school),  behavioural finance, and finance theory. Alongside rigorous  analysis of the past and present, the book also features  forward looking chapters, exploring how the 2% global  inflation standard could collapse and what would ideally  follow its demise, including a new look at the role of  gold.},
