One of the easiest ways for the state to take our money is to inflate away the value of the money we already hold. When governments and central banks work together to create more paper money, the state's friends and allies benefit while everyone else who holds the now-devalued currency suffers.
In this new seminar for college and high school students from the Mises Institute, our scholars will help students understand the state's motivation to inflate the currency while examining the many effects of this backdoor method of taxation.
From hyperinflation, to disruption of entrepreneurial planning, to income inequality and to wealth destruction, students will leave this seminar with a detailed and timely knowledge of the way that inflation is being used worldwide to enrich governments and impoverish private citizens.

Given the recent stimulus and many changes in the market (amongst other things, the l rapid appreciation of housing in this hot market), we need to understand what is going on with our money - both in our pockets and within the government. Thanks for this information !
