Economic Illiteracy, Economists, Inflation, Jobs

Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis: Economic Illiterate Proposal: "Inflation Creates Jobs"; Inflation Economics 101: "....Yes, inflation helped create a massive housing boom.

Secret Currency Traders Club, Fixed Biggest Market Rates

Secret Currency Traders’ Club Devised Biggest Market’s Rates - Bloomberg: "....The allegations of collusion undermine one of society’s fundamental principles -- how money is valued. The possibility that a handful of traders clustered in a closed electronic network could skew the worth of global currencies for their own gain without detection points to a lack of oversight by employers and regulators. Since funds buy and sell billions of dollars of currency each month at the 4 p.m. WM/Reuters rates, which are determined by calculating the median of all trades during a 60-second period, that means less money in the pension and savings accounts of investors around the world...."
