Re: Hyper inflation - From what I can see, none of the central banks have printed enough to keep us out of deflation, unless the velocity of money picks up. And even if the velocity of money picks up, we may still be in a slight deflation.

Also, the central banks could easily create the appearance of future inflation by bidding up the price of gold - it is a very small market.

Longer term, when we are heading into serious price increases, the central banks could then let the price of gold drop back, crushing the "gold bugs" and making it appear that there will be little future inflation.

The debasement of money will be a process, not an event, so we should expect some significant zigs and zags.
