		<description>Why would inflation rise if people bought more books?

Company greed?

Why would firms push up their prices?

If they would, then certainly they need educating?

It’s like living on The Planet of “You Married a Carrot”.

I can’t give Publius any chocolate because Firminus will ask for more champagne.

Why would inflation rise?</description>

		<description>One more effect! (sorry . . . :o)

If the balance of trade is uhh NOT balanced, like the US, then the &#039;dumping&#039; will just raise demand on national assets, like land, houses, and companies. This might explain in part why so many foreign investors were bought in so deeply into the american housing market.

In a way, this sort of inflation is like the government having a garage sale on the nation&#039;s assets which, the last time I checked, were the people&#039;s homes, businesses, and land.</description>

		<description>as to the answer to the first question about &#039;dumping&#039; money, that new money will just come back as demand for exports, so exporters will (by the cantillon effect) experience a &#039;boom&#039; that is only due to monetary disequilibria, not because of real demand. As the exporters demand more resources and labor, the economy will be further shoved off kilter towards exporting. This is what the Chinese do buying American debt, and what American does by making unilateral loans to nations and then selling them guns. It is an exporter subsidy and means a redistribution of wealth from other sectors of the economy to this one.

I am writing a book about this thread, so stay updated with my blog!</description>

		<description>@AG: The money would be useless to an importer until it is converted into his home country&#039;s currency. When he does that the money would eventually find its way back into the country of origin and lead to inflation there.

Remember the little bits of paper we call money is actually worth nothing. Its the value given to it by a country&#039;s central bank that is worth something. Outside your country the money is only worth something when it is exchanged into the local currency. That exchange is only possible if the originating country&#039;s central bank allows it and accepts its own currency back.

However there are a few countries in the world that can get away with printing money to pay off foreign debts to some extent. Countries like the US, European nations and Japan have currencies that are used by central banks around the world to keep their foreign exchange reserves. So their currency is more acceptable globally. However even here there is the risk that if you continue to print money central banks will loose confidence in your currency and start using other currencies (such as what china is starting to do with its dollar reserves).</description>

		<description>Printing money would affect the exchange rate, so it would be adjusted for that way and would not help you pay off national foreign debt</description>
