This book argues that the blame for the 'Great Pandemic Inflation' in the US and Europe lies with serious flaws in the actual monetary regime. Money is literally out of control with no solid anchor. In consequence further great inflations lie ahead, whether the proximate cause is another massive supply shock (for example war, trade conflict, resource famine) or fiscal explosion or simply malfunctioning of the corrupted monetary system.
The book draws on monetary principles applied in the laboratory of history - including wars, great recessions, and US wave elections - to make its key points. The choice of monetary principles is eclectic, including insights from Austrian School and previous works of the authors. The historical examples stretch from the 1890s to the present day. The authors do not shy away from use of counterfactual analysis, including how the shocks from the pandemic or Russia-Ukraine War would have played out under a sound money regime.
Questions posed include how a flawed monetary regime has encountered so little political push-back. The answer includes an identification of the sub-groups in the US or global economy who gain from a flawed monetary regime and their wielding of power to protect the status quo. Crucially the book describes how asset inflation, one of the main symptoms of monetary disorder, has weakened opposition to the regime, though ultimately fanning populism due to decades of malinvestment.
This book should have wide appeal to academics in monetary economics, international finance, international relations and history, especially those with a passion for the use of history as laboratory. More generally the book should fascinate a wide range of thinkers close to or in the thick of the global financial markets.
"The logic of Mr. Brown's argument should be widely understood. . If prices don't fall sometimes you can't have stable prices. . That is what the inflation-mongers want precisely to prevent. They wish to reinflate any periodic tendency of prices to fall." (Alex J Pollock, The New York Sun, nysun.com, November 13, 2025)

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
