It dispels the proposition that quantitative easing is benignThe analysis combines theory, empirical evidence and the historical experience of hypeinflationary countries, showing that the US economy is on the path to hyperinflation. The analysis is based on actual and simulated dataThe book is written for general readership and more specialised readers. Non-specialists can skip the technical parts of the book without any loss of continuity
