Resilient Wealth in an Era of Infinite Money

Resilient Wealth in an Era of Infinite Money

What happens when the money supply grows too slowly or too quickly? From gold-standard deflation to QE-driven inflation and inequality, we trace the lessons of monetary history, and what we can do today to protect ourselves in an age of infinite money.

Topics covered include:

  • How is the money supply measured, and why is it a subjective exercise
  • What is an example of a negative money shock
  • Why an optimal monetary policy would lead to deflation, and why that is a good thing
  • What causes inflation
  • How quantitative easing contributed to wealth inequality
  • What is demurrage currency
  • The unorthodox way Richard Nixon sought to combat high inflation and a strong dollar
  • How to increase our wealth in an era of infinite money
