Ford's war on inflation: A metaphor that did not cross

Abstract

In the fall of 1974 President Ford consistently employed the metaphor of war to direct public attention to inflation. The metaphor failed to cross because it was not consistent with Ford's political commitments, because it was mis‐managed, and because rival metaphors diminished its potency and integrity.
