Keynesians and Market Monetarists Didn’t See Inflation Coming

The government’s latest report puts the twelve-month official consumer price inflation rate at 8.5 percent, the highest since December 1981: As economists debate the causes of, and cure for, this price inflation, it’s worth recounting which schools of thought saw it coming. Although individuals can be nuanced, generally speaking the Austrians have been warning that the Fed’s reckless policies threaten the dollar. In contrast, as I will document...

Achtung Inflation: Wohlstand in Gefahr! (JF-TV Interview mit Thorsten Polleit)

Seit 2021 steigt die Inflationsrate kontinuierlich an, lag im März dieses Jahres bei besorgniserregenden 7,3 Prozent.

Und Polleit fürchtet: "Diese Inflation ist gekommen um zu bleiben", selbst eine vorrübergehend...

We Still Haven’t Reached the Inflation Finale

Inflations have an inbuilt mechanism which works to burn them out. Government (including the central bank) can thwart the mechanism if they resort to further monetary injections of sufficient power. Hence inflations can run for a long time and in virulent form.

The Ukraine War Shows Nukes Mean Safety from US-Led Regime Change

Some journalists like Steve Portnoy of CBS seem unable to grasp that escalations that might lead to nuclear war are a bad thing. The journalist seemed incredulous last week when asking White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki why the United States has not started a full-on war with Moscow. Psaki’s position—with which any reasonable person could agree—was that it is not in the interest of Americans “to be in a war with Russia.”

Heavy Sanctions against Russia Could Usher in a Wider Economic War

Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was met with unprecedented economic sanctions by the United States and its allies in order to cripple Russia’s capacity to wage war. Never before in post–World War II history has an economy of Russia’s size been reprimanded with such force. Moreover, the sanctions could remain in place after the war ends and reach other major economies too, in particular China. In this case, current sanctions could be the...
