In FOREX trade, it's all about relative value, not absolutes. They're all fiat currencies, so they're all doomed, eventually<G>. Still as a place to hide for a few months, it may be a decent shot, and if you want out of the dollar it's an easy way to get out.

Unfortunately in times of crisis, money tends to flow into and support the dollar, out of habit as much as anything. Of course, when the crisis is in dollar-centric investments, maybe that's not such a great strategy but we still see it.

"inflation driven prosperity"

how can inflation drive prosperity?

i think prosperity happens despite inflation and could happen even easier without it.

inflation seems to only help debtors and most obviously debtors with bad debt. and if that's true, doesn't inflation reward people or countries that take on bad debt to the detriment of everyone else? inflation seems to be parasitic to me.
