(Related to Solved Problem 17.2 on page 613 ) In a speech in September 1975 , Fed Chairman Arthur Burns said the following: $$\begin{array}{l}{\text { There is no longer a meaningful trade-off }} \\ {\text { between unemployment and inflation. In the }} \\ {\text { current environment, a rapidly rising level of }} \\ {\text { consumer prices will not lead to the creation }} \\ {\text { of new jobs.... Highly expansionary monetary }} \\ {\text { and fiscal policies might, for a short time, }}\\{\text { provide some additional thrust to economic }} \\ {\text { activity. But inflation would inevitably }} \\ {\text { accelerate- a development that would create }} \\ {\text { even more difficult economic problems than }} \\ {\text { we have encountered over the past year. }}\end{array}$$ How do Burns's views in this speech compare with the views at the Fed in the late 1960 $\mathrm{s} ?$ Why do you think he specifically says that "in the current environment" there is no trade-off between unemployment and inflation?
