"Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output." Milton Friedman

I wonder who controls the quantity of said "money"

If you look at the numerous articles online about what causes inflation, you won't find anyone claiming that the banks cause it by controlling "the quantity of said money" :laugh:

What a leap of imagination. Funny, but totally incorrect.

care to post one article?

I mean Milton Friedman is regarded as the father of monetary economics, I guess he must know absolutely nothing about inflation then

and what is inflation targeting, and who sets the targets? institutions which are not banks?

There are many, many of them :) And you extrapolating what Milton said into some whacko theory of the banks being a caba, controlling money to cause inflation, is hysterical. :laugh:

But, as requested., just a couple.

Causes of inflation. Inflation means there is a sustained increase in the price level. The main causes of inflation are either excess aggregate demand (economic growth too fast) or cost push factors (supply-side factors).Dec 4, 2017

Perhaps I am saying these things happen, it does not mean I am okay with it. The Foreigner is quick to want to know how a black Post Office Manager who stole from his employer was appointed yet he is nowhere to be found where bank employees are arrested for stealing from their employer.

But yeah, I did expect you to come up with your foolish conclusion, you people are all the same, you only understand something when it's coming out of the mouth of a fellow Broedebonder.

OMG Where does it say he is black? Stop make stuff up. OK, it might be that in South Africa all the Post Office Managers are black. In that case I appologise. Honestly, I was not aware of that :(
