the people who are affected most by high interest rates would tend to be younger households. older people, older house holders, are more likely to have paid off their mortgages they are mortgage free so they don t feel the impact of the increase in mortgage rates. you could spread the pain more broadly, so those households that, perhaps, aren t facing higher mortgage rates currently households that don t hold mortgages would potentially contribute towards the squeeze in demand by paying higher taxation. you could argue for a property tax, for example. yet there are also practical problems with using tax and spending policy to control inflation. history suggests it s hard to get the timing right, and when it comes to tax and spending political considerations often interfere unhelpfully. this is why the practice in recent decades has been to leave inflation control to the independent bank of england. however there is certainly more open thinking going on among respectab
