All true, but no matter how bad it gets, any, and I mean even the Wizards will need to insure there is a viable monetary system left. You don't do that in the environment I'm describing (really is there any doubt now?) with the Fed leaving rates at one percent, and the BOJ flooding the market with $35 billion yen a week. It's sort of looking from all indications that the Chinese will be the first (of anybody) with an inflation fight of sorts? It can only be higher interest rates and/or a currency re-peg, (turning off electricity voluntarily ain't it). That will leave the US and Japan as the bag holders coming out of the gates in terms of securing key goods like energy, metals and food.
