” through inflation and low interest rates.”

Low interest rates are a sign that there is no inflation. The bond vigilantes demand an inflation premium and as the Fed learned during the ‘70s they have enough firepower to dictate terms. Do you recall what rates were in the late ‘70s?

low interest rates are a sign of the government perverting the market for bonds. It has nothing to do with the rate of inflation.
