...throes of the fourth major inflationary "Price Revolution" since fuedal times. Much like the people of another economically troubled former empire--Weimer Germany--Americans are anxious, profoundly troubled by a vague sense that their country's moral fiber is unwinding before their eyes. This anxiety is the root of a "radical centrism" among Middle Americans--a revolutionary mood that makes Main Street susceptible to populistic appeals for "decency" and to promises of a mythical good old days restored. Ronald Reagan's skillful campaign rhetoric articulated and capitalized upon the "restorationist" sentiment...

We will have to make a great effort of national solidarity to attack inflation and to combat instability in the exchange market. At the same time we must continue attacking the structural problems at the root of Mexican society. It is not the first time that the government finds itself with problems of this nature. Of course, now they are of a larger magnitude. The country is also larger. But Mexico is now in a superior economic position because of its oil reserves, natural resources...
