A descoberta da inflação inercial

This paper contains my version of the history of inertial inflation. The first complete formulation of the theory is in a 1983 paper by myself and Nakano; and the first paper that proposed a price shock combined with a conversion table is a 1984 paper also by the same authors. Resende and Arida write in 1984 the first paper proposing an indexed money to neutralize inertia; Francisco Lopes, again in 1984, relates inertial-inflation with hyperinflation. The main references are clearly presented.
