Executive Summary
Symptoms of monetary inflation – both in goods and asset markets – are becoming more serious, as we enter the 2020s. There are no grounds for complacency, based on narratives spun by central bankers or by finance professionals.
The central bankers tell us (via their giant propaganda machines) that they have everything under control, in the world of the 2 per cent inflation standard. But this is an emperor’s new clothes tale.
Efficient marketeers, whose doctrines have helped spur a fantastic growth of passive investment via ETFs are in effect “sirens” of asset inflation.
Investors should continue to expect the worst about Europe’s financial and monetary outlook. Negative interest rate policy is on its way out but other flaws are deepening as asset inflation strengthens.
