marginmike. ((The german Inflation was a result of the versigh treaty, and the German Governments intentional printing of obscene amounts to pay it off in worthless money. They literally ran the presses all night long. The whole process was done intentionaly, and knowingly.)) I believe your statement is partially correct, but there's a lot more to the story. Please see the previous post: Message 20173769 ((Comparing it to America today is silly.)) This statement I don't agree with. I think there are a number of powerful similarities. Read Quigley's piece, then substitute Germany of the 20's (actually, I think a German/U.K. hybrid is probably more accurate) with the U.S. today, and substitute the U.S. of the 1920's with China and Japan today, and there are some provocative parallels IMO. Of course, there are differences, but the similarities interesting ... and they're not hard to detect. Regards, Glenn
