The Fed statistics show no decline in rates of money growth since the evaporation of the Y2K thing.

I think the stock market lending must be having a multiplier effect, and that lending is increasing without any central bank control.

I can understand why the Weimar Republic would do this kind of thing after Germany LOST WWII, but I cannot understand why a powerful government in a prestigious country in peace time should embark on a course of extreme monetary inflation. The government is not under any particular pressure.

I believe that economic management like this reduced Argentina from a power that seemed equal to most European countries in the early part of this century to a mess.
