Why this Blog?

A place where I can lament the changing times; for eccentric comments on current affairs and for unfashionable views, expressed I hope, in cogent style; also occasional cris de coeur largely concerned, I regret to say, with myself.

Interesting Law Suit

There are those who consider that inflation is theft; certainly it is interesting that a Chinese woman is suing the U.S. Federal Reserve on the grounds that since it has a monopoly on printing money, its recent printing bonanza has devalued the woman's assets.

The picture below shows a Bank of England £10 note issued in 1934; never mind what the official statistics claim, I maintain that today the equivalent would be in the order of £700.


That should serve to show exactly what the Chinese woman is getting at.

Until the next time.
