ABSTRACT
This paper analyses the main themes approached in the book The Brazilian Inflation on the eve of the 30th anniversary of its publication. We start by presenting Rangel’s critiques to the Monetarist and Structuralist Schools followed by the author’s own interpretation of the causes of the Brazilian inflation. Suggestions of policy to face this problem are presented and, as a conclusion, the paper shows that the book reached the status of a classical work on the subject.
