Do We Face an Inflationary or Deflationary Depression? - a podcast by Jay Taylor

John Williams and Bob Hoye square off this week to discuss their divergent views on the most important question investors need to grapple with. John Williams strongly believes the U.S. is headed for a severe hyper inflation. As the dollar weakens, surging import prices and a shortage of domestically-produced essential goods will ensure dramatic increases in the CPI.

Bob Hoye has noted that during periods of great credit contractions like the one we are in now, the reserve currency is the strongest. Because the country with the world’s reserve currency has the largest currency short position, when loans are called for payment, demand for the currency surges, sending bankruptcy and unemployment through the roof as everything that can be sold is sold to pay the margin clerk. Rather than weak dollar and inflation, Hoye sees a stronger dollar and falling prices no matter how much money is printed by the Fed.
