This Palgrave Pivot reviews the history of the UK's Retail Prices Index (RPI) from its origins just after the Second World War to its controversial position today. 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.

This book is an introduction to the history of - and current measurement practice of - inflation for the United Kingdom.

This book provides an introduction to index numbers for statisticians, economists and numerate members of the public. It covers the essential basics, mixing theoretical aspects with practical techniques to give a balanced and accessible introduction to the subject.
