I consider 8% for MZM and 15% for M2 to be quite high for an economy growing at a questionable 2-3% GDP. Is the system using this money creation for productive purposes? Not really, just fueling speculation and credit in housing and real estate. I think some will filter into commodities because of looming inventory and supply problem in many of these. Gold supply as a form of money isn't growing at these rates, and why wouldn't institutions and individuals consider that one, especially relative to fiat?
