What’s on the Policy Conflicts poster
A 5-row table: Pursuing · Can worsen.
Objective and the conflict it creates.
- Lower unemployment — Inflation
- Lower inflation — Unemployment, short term
- Faster growth — Current account deficit, emissions
- Fiscal consolidation — Growth and unemployment
- Currency stability — Monetary independence
Policy is choosing among these trade-offs, not solving them. Claims that one instrument achieves everything deserve scepticism.

- What size does the Policy Conflicts poster print at?
- Policy Conflicts is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.

Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Policy Conflicts loses nothing.Printing guide
