I am not sure of your exact question ... but here is what i've read about the dollar devaluation. Since the US went off the gold standard in 1933 ... the dollar has lost 96% of it's value. If you look at it only from the year the US went off the silver standard in 1965 -- the dollar has lost 76% of it's value. The number since 1965 seems to be reasonable. I know you could buy a cheap car for about $3,000 back '65 ... and today a cheap car will run you about $12,000. Other things like houses and gasoline have gone up more than 4x. So unbacked paper currency is certainly very prone to devaluation. Actually throughout the history of the US -- all unbacked paper currency -- from Continental Currency of the 1700's -- to the Obsolete Bank Notes of the 1800's -- to the current unbacked paper currency of the US -- has suffered through major devaluation. It makes me wonder why more people don't own gold and silver bullion.
This is a tuff one! Looking at the current Gold prices you have to wonder How much higher it can go! Would think its near the top now and many Speculators i talked to seeing it as down by the end of the year!
when the paper money increase in economy on other hand price of the things are increase. you have this problem salutation.
