Greed has existed for all of time. What the greed-hypothesis theory of inflation people can never explain is where the extra dollars come from, absent mass printing of money.

“It’s just corporate greed” has been the state media’s excuse lately to distract from our central bank’s disastrous monetary policy. Left/right/center/whatever: You won’t last long on TV criticizing the fed.

You can probably find online the reports of increased corporate profits during our inflationary years. I believe I read an analysis that said that 25% of inflation was caused by achieving those increased profits.

One of the interesting things about inflation is that it does have something to do with expectations...
