India Must Raise Rates ‘Fairly Soon’ to Tame Prices, OECD Says

Nov. 19 (Bloomberg) -- India’s central bank must tighten its monetary policy “fairly soon” to rein in inflation, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said.

“Given the magnitude of easing and the speed at which inflation has bounced back, monetary policy will need to be tightened fairly soon,” the Paris-based OECD said about India in a report released today.

Now, I am certain – as certain as I am that the sun will rise tomorrow – that I’ll receive a flurry of deflationist dissertations explaining away the rising tide of inflation. And I’ll continue to read those dissertations – and pass on the better ones to other members of the team for further evaluation and consideration. However, I must confess to becoming a bit hardened against the deflationists’ case, but only because everywhere I look, all I see are governments trying to outdo each other with stimulus in all its many guises. Which is to say, pursuing policies that can only be deemed highly inflationary.

Investing During Times of Inflation

* The worst investments in an inflationary period, when you print money and have large fiscal deficits are, of course, long term bonds and then cash.

The only remaining option is to have the Fed create new money out of thin air. This is inflation. Higher prices lead to a devalued dollar and a lower standard of living for Americans. The Fed has already overseen a 95% loss in the dollar's purchasing power since 1913. If we do not stop this profligate spending soon, we risk hyperinflation and seeing a 95% devaluation every year. read full artice

Inflation When and Why

There have been 28 episodes of hyperinflation of national economies in the 20th century, with 20 occurring after 1980. Peter Bernholz (Professor Emeritus of Economics in the Center for Economics and Business (WWZ) at the University of Basel, Switzerland) has spent his career examining the intertwined worlds of politics and economics with special attention given to money.

In his most recent book, Monetary Regimes and Inflation: History, Economic and Political Relationships, Bernholz analyzes the 12 largest episodes of hyperinflations – all of which were caused by financing huge public budget deficits through money creation. His conclusion: the tipping point for hyperinflation occurs when the government’s deficit exceeds 40% of its expenditures. Guess what? The U.S. will hit the 40% mark in 2009.”
