The Real Cause of Hyperinflation / Interest-Rates / HyperInflation
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
In his weekly letter, John Mauldin concluded that we have not experienced hyperinflation (despite massive Fed “printing”) due to the fact that the money multiplier has fallen and fallen below 1.0. This means that for each additional $1 added to the monetary base, the money supply is changing by less than $1. In other words, banks are not lending and so the velocity of money is declining.

Hyperinflation, Money Demand, and the Crack-up Boom / Economics / HyperInflation
By: Thorsten_Polleit
In the early 1920s, Ludwig von Mises became a witness to hyperinflation in Austria and Germany — monetary developments that caused irreparable and (in the German case) cataclysmic damage to civilization.
Mises's policy advice was instrumental in helping to stop hyperinflation in Austria in 1922. In his Memoirs, however, he expressed the view that his instruction — halting the printing press — was heeded too late:

The Four Steps to Hyperinflationary Booms / Economics / HyperInflation
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
With the current US deficit soaring above $12 trillion, the conditions are ripe for inflation. However, is hyperinflation just around the corner?
Step 1: A Collapse
Before hyperinflation can begin, there is often a collapse, or series of collapses, that send currency prices higher. Fleeing from assets, whether metals, stocks, or even real estate, investors sell their holdings for currency or cash. When you sell an instrument, you are not necessarily selling an asset as much as you are buying another.&

By: Money_Morning

Hyperinflation, When Money Dies So do People / Economics / HyperInflation
By: Gary_North
Bottom line: "When money dies, so do people." Hyperinflation in a modern urban nation would kill people. I think it would kill a lot of people.
Why? Because we rely on the social division of labor to feed ourselves, heat our homes, and supply everything else that we buy or sell. This requires a highly complex price system. At the heart of this system is money. It would not exist without money.

The Coming Fed U.S. Hyperinflation / Economics / HyperInflation
By: Michael_S_Rozeff
Since the government and central bank are once again inflating the economy, let’s look back at what happened the last time they did this.
The Bush-Greenspan team used war, fiscal stimulus, and FED money-pumping to produce a housing bubble that drove the unbalanced economic recovery of the early 2000s. Personal saving dropped as sharply as debt rose, but the recovery was halting and anemic. While the Clinton years saw the real GDP rise 35.4 percent in 8 years, the Bush years had a 21.0 percent overall rise.

The Case Against Hyper Inflation / Economics / HyperInflation
By: Brian_Bloom
Here is a rather long winded, step by step, explanation of my understanding of what is happening and I have chosen to be very basic. Of course, where there is oversimplification, there are bound to be holes. But perhaps the principles will shine through.

Parabolic U.S. Treasury Yield Curve Warning of Hyper Inflation / Interest-Rates / HyperInflation
By: Gary_Dorsch
Everything depends upon proper judgment. Of ten people who examine the same chart, or listen to the same speech, each person may well understand it differently - perhaps only one of them will understand it correctly. How then should traders interpret the shape of the US Treasury yield curve, which has gone parabolic in recent weeks, steepening to its highest level since 2004? Similarly, in Australia, the Treasury yield curve is at its steepest in history.

The Country Most Likely Heading for Hyperinflation / Economics / HyperInflation
By: DailyWealth
Tom Dyson writes: Mrs. Watanabe is dumping the yen.
According to a story from Bloomberg this week, Japanese businessmen, housewives, and pensioners are dumping the yen against foreign currencies, especially the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar, and the euro. Women control the family finances in the typical Japanese household, so the international media has nicknamed the Japanese individual investor "Mrs. Watanabe."

Hyperinflation Is Coming / Economics / HyperInflation
By: LewRockwell
Bob Murphy writes: People often accuse me of making “irresponsible” forecasts of massive price inflation. Even though they know that history is replete with examples of central banks ruining their currencies, these critics are sure that “it can’t happen here.” So in the present article I’d like to make the brief case for why we should all be very alarmed about the prospects for the U.S. dollar.

Fed Planning Inflationary Dollar Destroying 15-Fold Increase In US Monetary Base / Economics / HyperInflation
By: Eric_deCarbonnel
The fed is planning moves that would more than double its balance-sheet assets by September to $4.5 trillion from $1.9 trillion. Whether expressing approval or concern over the fed's intentions, most commentators fail to understand the real magnitude of the projected expansion of the US monetary base because they don't take into account the amount of dollars circulating abroad.

Don't Bet on Hyperinflation! / Economics / HyperInflation
By: Mike_Stathis
For several months now, I've heard all of this talk of hyperinflation. I'm sure you have too. I've seen that word so many times over the past year that I might have even used it without realizing it. As I wrote in the original edition of America 's Financial Apocalypse, “inflation is certainly going to be a very big problem.” I stand by this previous forecast first made in 2006. However, hyperinflation isn't going to occur. While I may be wrong about some things in the future, I won't be wrong about this. Quite simply, America would go to war before allowing hyperinflation to set in. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Outlook: Currency Debasement Risks Inflation Spiraling Out of Control / Economics / HyperInflation
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold rose by just over 1% yesterday to over $900/oz as renewed risk aversion saw stock and bond markets come under pressure. Gold subsequently traded sideways in Asia prior to another strong rally at 0800 GMT when gold surged from $901/oz to $926/oz in the hour. It has since given up some of those gains but remains above $920/oz. Demand remains very high internationally for etf's, gold certificates and bullion coins and bars.
