Waiting for the Mad Hatter

Will he or won't he announce that he'll inflate us back? Wounded stock market bulls want to know, as the annual central monetary planner congregation in Jackson Hole gets underway. Indications are that Ben Bernanke is not in the least inclined to change his money printing ways just because they have failed to achieve any tangible positive results thus far. Still, he's probably facing too many political headwinds right now to commit himself again so soon. We contrast some of the soundbite blather of modern-day economists (most of whom seem completely unperturbed by the failure of the inflationary measures to date) with what Ludwig von Mises had to say on the matter. The verdict: you can not create scarce capital goods with the help of the printing press. Moreover, counter-cyclical government policies are simply unworkable.
