Fundamentally inflation is just another form of taxation. The "counterfeiter" who prints new notes has the benefit of spending those - but that devalues all other notes in circulation by a very small amount. Pushed to more extremes and that 'micro-taxation' becomes more significant. During the centuries of the Pound being the dominant international trade settlement currency it was backed by gold, one pound = a sovereign, a little under a quarter of a ounce, so the Pound remained at a relatively constant £4 odd a ounce gold price rate. Inflation broadly averaged 0%, those with surplus money (gold) could lend that for interest - that was like a real rate of return. WW1 however bankrupted Britain, things remained nasty up to WW2 and thereafter the US secured international agreement to adopt the dollar as the international trade settlement currency (again pledging to keep the dollar aligned to gold). BUT where instead that promise was broken and the US exports inflation (devalues the dollar) in order to pay for the likes of a massive military, moon shots ...etc. so since the 1930's there's been just predominately inflation. Others around the world are tiring of that US advantage and seeking out potential alternatives but as of yet none has had broad agreement of adoption. Whatever that might be is inclined to be at least in part that would be conceptually backed by gold, however that would mean having to secure physical delivery of US (and UK) gold that would be resisted. There's 123 times more paper gold (claims to each ounce of gold) than there is physical gold. https://usdebtclock.org/gold-precious-metals.html A potential era of financial/economic warfare. -
I'm not surprised. Fugly series and horrible designs! Maybe they'll stop the Myths and Legends series next?
