John Williams has been predicting eventual hyperinflation for some time now. But instead of years down the road, he now is saying it's just around the corner!

His argument makes a lot of sense.

Very very possible. I think Rush predicted the same time period

Can’t see “hyper” inflation coming until there is “hyper” recovery in job market. With fewer jobs, consumer demand will stay sluggish. The horse is jobs, the cart is inflation. Can’t put cart before the horse.

Hyperinflation is measured in the 100s%. This is extremely unlikely. While Housing and Construction are flat on their backs there ain’t gonna be inflation.

As to the dollar collapse. There is little chance of another reserve currency so that is not likely either. Europe and Japan and China are all inflating as fast or faster than the US.

Inflation yes, hyperinflation not likely. Williams is right that there is no big recovery around the corner. We have about 10 years to go to work through this mess.

Williams is wrong. Japan has been doing far more QE than the U.S. every year since 1989 without hyper-inflation.
