What do you think happens to the value of money when the the amount of product remains static due to a drop in production (as it has for the last 7 or 8 years internationally) while the amount of money in circulation doubles (like when the Fed was pumping up to $95 billion a month into the international economy during QE1-4)? It halves in value because it has to be divided into the same amount of product as was available before the amount of money doubled. That's inflation with direct correlation to money creation and is easily evidenced in places and in recent times past in the likes of Brazil which saw inflation rates running to triple digits in a matter of days.
That's currency not money sorry to be pedantic but there is a difference
But the rest of the post is correct
The interesting thing about QE is it hasn't produced price OK inflation yet as the money is still moving between the boys and hasn't hit the high street .. Some it has asset inflation but
If ..or when it does times will be fun fun fun
