  • Inflation More Likely in Germany, China than U.S., U.K. [View article]
    Correct. M1 grew strongly during Japan's Lost Decade(s), but prices continue to fall.

    It is an amazing and unusual example of a plunging velocity of money swamping money supply growth.

  • What Is Going On With Gold? [View article]
    I am not sure where the superiority complex comes from ...

    The US economy has run commercial deficits since the early 1980s. Germany is the largest exportator in the world and Japan is not shabby easier. I don't believe that all the entrepreneurial energy in the world can make up for shabby infrastructure, a spendthrift culture, and a semi-literate population.

    Perhaps this is American's last hurrah?
