More monetary excess

More monetary excess

Taking into account not just rapid domestic expansion, but also the sharp fall in the greenback, broad, dollar-denominated money supply went up on an annualized basis, in the six months to January at rates of:

  • Russia 53%
  • Each of Brazil, China and the Eurozone at 32%
  • India 30%
  • Japan 25%
  • Canada and the US each 20%

Is it any wonder prices of things are going ballistic and that stock markets are (just about) refusing to succumb to a darkening economic outlook?

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
