(and I mean inflation in the normal sense like increase in the price index) for years now. A stopped clock is right twice a day, so perhaps he'll eventually be right one day, but I don't think it's happening anytime soon. We could actually use a little bit of inflation right now to get the economy going, especially wage inflation.
The economic crash could happen, but it is far less likely than in 2008 because the private debt level isn't quite up there yet.
You goldbugs and Fed haters seem to long for the time when we had economic panics every 15-20 years, and I'm not sure why.
