No, this is all very relevant. Its also remarkably difficult to find this sort of material on the web outside of certain economics forums. I welcome it. I find it frankly sinister that not even the very basics of banking, finance and money is taught in the education system. When it is the force that determines so much of our lives.
I've stopped trying to decide to be scared about deflation or hyperinflation and instead now worry about devaluation!
