<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1050192, member: 22143&quot;]I have no time for &quot;economic theory&quot; as that would imply some sort of science behind it, and these yoyo&#039;s have no such training.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s simple mathematics.&nbsp; If you grow any system at a consistent linear percentage over a period of time, it blows up.&nbsp; The math can&#039;t be escaped.&nbsp; Consistent inflation is exactly that.&nbsp;&nbsp; Specifically towards the end, in monetary systems where consistent inflation is applied, the a graph of the money supply over time will look like a hockey stick with the puck end turned up,&nbsp; and the danger is when you enter that puck end.&nbsp;&nbsp; Eventually the money supplie goes to infinity and the currency is done.&nbsp; In linear percentage growing systems this will happen very fast relatively speaking which is why the graph looks like a hockey stick.&nbsp; &nbsp; History is littered with examples of it and has no examples of a completely fiat currency surviving.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>--------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>On the earlier comment about silver in the currency, it is a matter of perspective.&nbsp;&nbsp; If one can only conceive of prices in terms of federal reserve notes, then yes silver became too expensive to use.&nbsp;&nbsp; However this rather narrow view misses the point being made completely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
