Changing Sides
There was a time when I disagreed with the inflationistas and the gold bugs. In my view, they did not anticipate the deflationary flash flood that would rip through the global economy once history's biggest credit bubble began to burst, and they failed to understand that this was just the set-up needed to transform the last of the allegedly prudent policymakers into full-on Mugabes-in-the-making.
Now, though, as some deflationistas grow ever more confident that we are set for a replay of what took place 80 years ago, I am in the process of switching sides. As I see it, the combination of intellectual hubris and a relentless determination by central bankers and politicians to beat the GD 2.0 rap, as well as an increasingly contagious urge to embrace all manner of fiscal insanity, suggest we are nearing the point where people will begin to lose faith in those who control the pursestrings -- and the printing presses.
