      abstract = {This Palgrave Pivot reviews the history of the UK's Retail  Prices Index (RPI) from its origins just after the Second  World War to its controversial position today. Both the  developments in the methodology of the index and the  political and social context in which its development took  place are closely examined. The authors explain how the RPI  went from being the dominant measure of inflation for  decades to its current position as an officially  discredited index. Despite this status, it is still widely  used and attracts much support from a range of  stakeholders, including several areas of government.  Important reading for anyone interested in both sides of  the argument for and against RPI and the likely way forward  for the measurement of inflation.},
