Tying this in with NBBrooks' excellent diary, how would one go about calculating the "actual profits" made by investors asking for their 10%+ as inflation rises higher--I'm thinking: if you are right then about now is a good time to produce figures showing that ALL investments will run behind inflation (inflating away the $1 trillion--have I got that right?  That we're now all paying our part of the debt via an across-the-board rise in prices starting with food, now raw materials, and then items produced using said raw materials?)--

Not sure that makes sense, but it would be a useful graph for investors if one existed showing that their actual 10%+ extra money was now lagging behind (systemically) the necessarilyl over 10% rise in costs.

Then two points:

1. Can you point to ANY communities/classes who are benefiting now and immediately from your model(s) as prices rise across the board?  Examples are good for analysis

2. How are govts. going to deal with the need for state payments (wages, pensions, benefits) to at least keep more-or-less pace with rapidly rising prices?
