No Comments on 1027: Henry Hazlitt – Government Creates Artificial Demand

F1027: Henry Hazlitt - Artificial Demand — Inflation distorts the structure of production. It leads to the overexpansion of some industries at the expense of others. This involves a misapplication and waste of capital. Yet the ardor for inflation never dies. It would almost seem as if no country is capable of profiting from the experience of another and no generation of learning from the sufferings of its forebears. For it is the nature of inflation to give birth to a thousand illusions. —Henry Hazlitt
