Check out the graph he has on the article, which marks out the Bank of England's initial inflation, its retrenchment because of a fear of losing control, which then brought on the credit crunch, which caused them to inflate again even more spectacularly, which is heading us towards an even bigger bust when they start retrenching again. Or hyperinflation, if they don't:
Welcome to the monkey house.
