Subject: From Catherine - Fwd: New Post: Quantity Theory of Money (QTM) & Its Failure

Most people talk a lot of rubbish about inflation, QE etc - and that is because they do not understand:

1. What inflation - property inflation? Wages inflation ? exchange rate induced inflation? commodity inflation?  asset inflation, bond inflation?

2. Assets - which assets?  which country?  How is capital flowing?

3. Interest rates , tax, government spending.


Most of the articles even in the telegraph are pure nonsense.  They talk about zero inflation or low inflation - but we have had the biggest increase in property prices and rents in world history.
They talk about asset bubbles as though they are all the same.
One part of the economy can be deflating as another is inflating.

Quantity Theory of Money (QTM) & Its Failure
Posted: 2018-01-23 00:09:32-05

QUESTION: I am most interested in your revisionist view of QTM. You debunk QTM frequently within broader topic discussions, but I’d love for you to address QTM by itself in a historical context. Perhaps starting with the Austrian darling, Henry Thornton, and his “An enquiry into the nature and effects of the paper credit of Great […]

    The BOE uses a basket of goods and services and calculates an average, (based on the CPI) - did not get the email chain so not sure where confusion on inflation came from. However do agree that inflation per se as yawned about in the media must be considered as relative and more or less meaningless to us ordinary folk until specifics percolate into changes in interest rates and higher commodity prices.

Daily Mail says Nigel Farage 'plotting Ukip comeback' in secret talks

By -
By Glen Owen Deputy Political Editor For The Mail On Sunday Nigel Farage has struck a secret deal with embattled Ukip leader Henry Bolton designed to pave the way for his return to frontline politics, party sources have claimed. Under the plan, Mr Bolton – who is refusing to resign over his relationship with glamour model Jo Marney – would rip up the party’s management structure before standing aside for Mr Farage to return. In return, Mr Bolton would be rewarded with a senior job by Mr Farage, who would then rebrand the party as a pro- hard- Brexit ‘movement’ – potentially with a new name. Talks: Embattled Ukip leader Henry Bolton, left, and former party chief Nigel Farage, right, in 2016 The plan, which sources say Mr Farage has confided to friends, would explain why Mr Bolton, 54, has stayed in his job despite a vote of no confidence being passed by Ukip’s ruling body last weekend and mass resignations by the p

Fact or Fiction

F ollowing my post on propaganda I thought this was a classic example of what I meant. When the Braveheart film came out it was reported/misreported that polls rightly or wrongly had indicated a swing of Scottish Nationalism to the SNP. The comment from Mr Hall and the slight correction from Mr Christian, courtesy of Quora says it all. Content from Philip Brian Hall and Ed Christian: "I can tell you what one English resident of Scotland thinks of Sir William Wallace, since I was inspired by the alleged biopic to write him the following letter: Dear William, Let me reassure you no historically-knowledgeable person ever took seriously your so-called biopic. We know that you did not wear a kilt, paint your face, shoot arrows, attack stockades or meet the Queen of England. In fact William, it was Sitting Bull, a more modern person than you, who did all of these (except wear a kilt.) Your name was not really Wallace either. It was le Walys. You were descended from a trave

Article from UKIP daily - why you should not vote for Tory/Labour or Lib Dem

By -
Introduction The report on Tony Blair’s claim that productivity in the UK has fallen since Brexit hours before new data revealed productivity growth has, in fact, hit a six-year high is typical of the lies and deceit by the Europhiles. It was not long ago that Nick Clegg vehemently said during his televised debate with Nigel Farage, that the EU was forming an army was a dangerous fallacy. This was an outrageous lie to the British public, yet he is being “rewarded” with a knighthood! (I hope most sincerely millions more people will sign the petition demanding that that he not be knighted.) Conservative Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has claimed the proportion of household growth in England down to immigration is 37 per cent. But Migration Watch says that according to the Labour Force Survey by the Office for National Statistics, 1.65 million of the 2 million new households (82%) needing homes in England between 2000-2015 were headed by someone who was an immigrant.
