This book features two papers; the first, analyzes Britain's eleven periods of wage and price controls since the war, and the second analyzes President Nixon's Economic Stabilization Program which began with the surprising Freeze of August 1971 and ended in April 1974 with Congress refusing to renew authorization.

The study analyzes Canada's tax system in each of three years, 1961, 1969 and 1972.
