Rational Expectations and Inflation by Thomas J. Sargent is a foundational work in macroeconomic theory that explores how the expectations of economic agents influence inflation and the effectiveness of monetary policy. Drawing on the rational expectations hypothesis, Sargent argues that systematic monetary policies cannot consistently manipulate real economic variables, as individuals adjust their behavior in anticipation of policy changes. The book challenges Keynesian assumptions by emphasizing the role of credible, rules-based policy in achieving price stability. Sargent’s analysis had significant implications for central banking and contributed to the broader shift toward monetarist and new classical approaches in the late 20th century.
