    Only, I doubt you've got quite the credibility to pull it off, y'know?

    Absolute pure rubbish
    Inflation comes from currency entering the system
    Either through fractional or interest charges or now just plain printing

    Please have a small idea of the subject before posting

    Except the price of gold only fails to fluctuate if comparisons to everything else of value are made against an arbitrarily static gold price. An artificial concept in the first place.

    And except it's now possible to make diamonds, so close to naturally occurring diamonds it's not possible to tell the difference at all.

    So you're one-trick-pony obsession with the tragic consequences of the absurd Bretton Woods debacle is a crock of shit. The abandonment of the "gold standard" was simply removing a layer of perceived value to the single, simple guarantee on the currency itself.


    But I guess everyone has their bogyman, carry on.

    But it suffered the same fate as Gadaffis dinar

    The only thing of value in that post was the diamond manufacture

    That will be interesting as either A the rate of finding natural diamond s is falling or B the diamond market value will crash
    Or D ..perceived market value will endure until market is flooded and then crash leaving the sheep holding worthless paper ...

    HBC ...drug running and fleecing sheep and setting market rates since ages ago

    PS if ya don't want to buy the bridge I may have another fool ..buyer that might be interested

    And the amount of money entering the system is controlled to create stable inflation.

    Here's a link about inflation you might wish to use to gain a basic education on the subject matter.

    http://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/inflation.asp

    In any case, clearly a slight and steady inflation does not cause the failure of fiat currency (apart from the rotation of denominations of course), this is evidenced by the link you posted showing only hyperinflation (in which monthly inflation exceeds 50%) causes a currency to fail. Perhaps you would like to try making another point as to why all fiat currencies will fail? or perhaps it is time to learn that your earlier statement was in error.

    You misunderstand, it is 100% up front, of which 15% is my commision. 85,000 yen's worth of physical gold after fabrication, rounding, and shipping will be approximately 15 grams.

    Say What..........

    Inflation drivers
    Rising wages
    Rising wages are a key cause of cost push inflation because wages are the most significant cost for many firms. (higher wages may also contribute to rising demand)

    Import prices
    If there is a dollar devaluation then import prices will become more expensive leading to an increase in inflation. A devaluation / depreciation means the Pound is worth less, therefore we have to pay more to buy the same imported goods.

    Raw Material Prices
    The best example is the price of oil, if the oil price increase by 20% then this will have a significant impact on most goods in the economy and this will lead to cost push inflation.

    Higher taxes
    If the government put up taxes, such as GST and Excise duty, this will lead to higher prices, and therefore CPI will increase.

    Rising house prices
    Rising house prices do not directly cause inflation, but they can cause a positive wealth effect and encourage consumer led economic growth. This can indirectly cause demand pull inflation.

    Printing more money
    If the Central Bank prints more money, you would expect to see a rise in inflation. This is because the money supply plays an important role in determining prices. If there is more money chasing the same amount of goods, then prices will rise. Hyperinflation is usually caused by an extreme increase in the money supply.
    Oil prices traditionally drive NZ's inflation as everything is transported to and from markets as are the consumers etc

    No I did think about what you posted, dimissed it then i corrected it for you.
    the price of good imported international comodities and raw materials and oil has mostly nothing to do with your asertion. You need to think locally rather than globally.

    Money has no value other than that which is measured by the amount of product it secures.

    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.
    Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.
