I wonder what Max Keiser would make of this, he's become more outspoken against fiat money and MMT recently? He says fiat money causes inflation.Fiat currency always fails. The Fed’s ever-increasing balance sheet is a sign that we are in the end times for the U.S. dollar. Eventually, all that money printing will cause runaway inflation. The dollar will go up in flames, and with it, the U.S. economy. I have heard this line of argument many times over the last decade. In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, it was usually advanced by people who wanted the return of the gold standard – “goldbugs,” as they are often known. More recently, Bitcoin hardliners have joined the chorus. Now, in these extraordinary times, even some conventional money managers are predicting hyperinflation.
