This chapter analyses the inflation problem, assessing how accounts of inflation shaped the approach to incomes policies and their accompanying publicity. The focus is on the 1970s, when peacetime inflation peaked along with policy focus on its reduction. The discussion is in four sections. The first shows how a narrative about inflation was constructed, before and during the 1970s. The second looks at the Counter-Inflation Publicity Unit (CIPU), created by the government in 1975. The unit’s purpose was to shape opinion, but it also sponsored a substantial number of surveys of public understanding of inflation, so that from its records we can examine not only government statements on the issue, but how these impacted upon the intended audience. The third section assesses the relationship between the CIPU’s framing of the inflation issue and popular understanding, whilst the final section suggests the ambiguous effects of the unit’s activities
