“Inflation in One Page” – Henry Hazlitt
“Prolonged inflation never “stimulates” the economy. On the contrary, it unbalances, disrupts, and misdirects production and employment. Unemployment is mainly caused by excessive wage rates in some industries, brought about either by extortionate union demands, by minimum wage laws (which keep teenagers and the unskilled out of jobs), or by prolonged and over-generous unemployment insurance.”…

“What food inflation looks like through the lense”
“The question of China’s artificially low interest rates and currency and its effects on economies will be left for another day. However, we would like to call your attention to the always interesting China Hush pictorial on what 100 yuan (~$15) will buy you at the grocery store today compared to a year ago. Since…

“Totally Standard Hyper-Inflation”
“Sure, buying and selling government debt in the open-market is how central banks control short-term interest rates. That’s why the Fed Funds rate is a target, and the actual outcome in the marketplace is instead known as the Effective Fed Funds. Bidding short-term bills higher (or lower) in price, the New York Fed thus pushes…

The last time the world went through a similar period was the…

“The Dance of the Dollar” – Steve Hanke
“The dance of the dollar counts — and it counts a lot. With few exceptions, when the dollar weakens against the euro, commodity prices soar, and when the dollar soars against the euro, commodity prices plunge. Every commodity trader knows the importance of the dance of the dollar. Indeed, commodity traders know that, when the…

“Public Still Feels Inflation’s Pinch” – WSJ
“Of course, the inflation any individual faces almost surely differs from the government’s aggregate data. Outside of housing, middle-income consumers have experienced more inflation than other income groups over the past year, in part because they devote a relatively large share of their budget to energy and transportation. For the year ended in October, prices…

“Fed’s Move Doesn’t Impress Top CEO’s”
“The sudden increase in capital investments would create jobs and encourage economic growth, which would then make it possible to weather the interest rate hikes the Fed would inevitably adopt to keep inflation from getting out of hand. That’s the theory, but not many companies are buying it. I talked to a few chief executives…

“The Triumphant Return of Hayek” – Newsweek
“Last year the consensus opinion was that we are all Keynesians now. Virtually everyone in the commentariat believed that John Maynard Keynes’s solution for the Great Depression—heavy government spending to resuscitate the economy—was also the answer to today’s global downturn. The first cracks in the consensus appeared with the outbreak of the fiscal crisis in…
