I was asked: Whatever Happened to Inflation after all this Money-Printing?
I was asked: Whatever Happened to Inflation after all this Money-Printing? So where’s my free lunch? I was asked once again why all this central-bank “money-printing” along with global zero-interest-rate or even negative-interest-rate policies haven’t caused a big bout of inflation, considering how currencies are getting watered down.

ECB, Monetarism and a Greek Half-Decade
ECB, Monetarism and a Greek Half-Decade Greece really should not matter, at all, outside of the tragic plight of the Greeks themselves. You’ll see that message echoed particularly inside the US where the status quo takes a contradictory turn toward reasonableness in order to justify further what isn’t. This is all about asset prices and […]
