Inflation's Illusion: Debunking the Normalcy of Currency Debasesment

Inflation's Illusion: Debunking the Normalcy of Currency Debasesment

It is not normal to want prices to rise and currencies to lose their purchasing power. We look at the advantages of stable currencies and prices.

Topics covered include:

  • What's more normal, an inflationary or deflationary mindset?
  • Why it is more normal for prices to fall due to productivity increases
  • How central banks seek to overcome productivity-induced deflation by increasing the money supply
  • How inflation and ongoing currency debasement encourage debt, the financialization of housing, and keep unprofitable companies in business
  • How gold, Bitcoin, stocks, real estate, and other assets help us overcome currency debasement
