John Rubino--Is The World In A Box? #2411

John writes, Of all the problems with fiat currency, the most basic is that it empowers the dark side of human nature. We’re potentially good but infinitely corruptible, and giving an unlimited monetary printing press to a government or group of banks is guaranteed to produce a dystopia of ever-greater debt and more centralized control, until the only remaining choice is between deflationary collapse or runaway inflation. The people in charge at that point are in a box with no painless exit. 

As further proof, just look at today, the dollar index is over 89 and the rest of the world's major/minor currencies are sinking.
