2023-07-27

by

2023-07-27

Interventionists always blame inflation on everything and anything except the only thing that makes aggregate prices rise: Issuing more units of currency than the real demand.

Why are prices rising so quickly? The ceaseless activity of the speculators, no doubt. Yet it is seldom—if...
