What is "quantitative easing" you may ask? The subtitle from an article in Friday's Telegraph is informative:
The International Monetary Fund is poised to embark on what analysts have described as "global quantitative easing" by printing billions of dollars worth of a global "super-currency" in an unprecedented new effort to address the economic crisis.
Here's a sincere quote from one of the IMF's former economists:
"The principle behind it is that everyone would get bonus dollars and instead of the Federal Reserve having to print them, everyone gets them. The objective is to create a windfall of cash. However if everybody goes out and spends the money it could be very inflationary."Bonus dollars?!? These guys have absolutely no understanding of capital theory. Global currency - here we come.
