  1. the underlying long-term driver of inflation is interest charged on loans, plus the manipulation of interest rates to encourage debt and later increase the rate once debts are assumed. you don’t mention this…

  2. I read an article on the First FT website about how QE made the rich richer, i dont fully understand the following paragraph:

    ” The second is to stimulate what they call the “portfolio channel” via the purchase of sovereign bonds. Government bonds provide the risk-free rate for financial markets, off which everything else is priced. If you suppress the risk-free rate by buying debt, you boost the price of all other assets, from credit to equities to property “.

    How does suppressing the risk-free rate boost the price of all other assets ?

  3. Since its the risk-free it is easy for some large business to suppressing where boost the price of other asset within business and outside businesses.
