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. 000938214 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000938214 650_0 $$aPrices$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory. 000938214 7001_ $$aSmith, Paul A. 000938214 7001_ $$aO'Neill, Robert. 000938214 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRalph, Jeff$$tThe Retail Prices Index : A Short History$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2020$$z9783030465629 000938214 852__ $$bebk 000938214 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-46563-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000938214 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:938214$$pGLOBAL_SET 000938214 980__ $$aEBOOK 000938214 980__ $$aBIB 000938214 982__ $$aEbook 000938214 983__ $$aOnline 000938214 994__ $$a92$$bISE
