Inflation is a function of diminishing demand for currency, Turk reminds
12:02p ET Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Interviewed today by King World News, GoldMoney founder and GATA consultant James Turk emphasizes a point he often has made: that inflation is in large part a function of diminishing demand for currency as well as increasing supply.
The Federal Reserve's fourth quantitative easing announcement, Turk says, "may have been the tipping point because U.S. government debt purchases by the Fed have apparently switched from being bond-friendly to bond-bearish because of the hyperinflationary implications from turning government debt into currency. The evidence for this conclusion is that yields have been rising since then, notwithstanding continuing purchases by the Fed."

Read the newly updated and expanded edition of Lehrman's book, "The True Gold Standard."
Financial journalist James Grant says of "The True Gold Standard": "If you have ever wondered how the world can get from here to there -- from the chaos of depreciating paper to a convertible currency worthy of our children and our grandchildren -- wonder no more. The answer, brilliantly expounded, is between these covers. America has long needed a modern Alexander Hamilton. In Lewis E. Lehrman she has finally found him."
