INTRO: Blame a Corrupt Monetary Regime -- PREFACE: How to Lift the Curse of Bad Money -- PART A: Monetary Status Quo On Eve of Pandemic -- Chapter 1: A Brutal Repression of Falling Prices -- Chapter 2: The Regime's Toxic Tool Box -- Chapter 3: Bad Money-induced Fragilities on Pandemic Eve -- PART B: Inflationary Combustion -- Chapter 4: Famine, fiscal explosion and war -- Chapter 5: Pandemic spasm to Great Inflation -- Chapter 6: Four Shots of Fed inflation 2018-25 -- PART C: The Inflation Mongers -- Chapter 7: The Inflation Mongers say "Transitory" -- Chapter 8: Delays in Monetary Diagnosis Abet the Inflation Mongers -- PART D: Culprits and Scapegoats -- Chapter 9: Rival explanations for the Great Pandemic Inflation -- Chapter 10: Counter-factual Pandemic under Gold Standard -- Chapter 11: Lessons from Low Inflation Countries in Pandemic -- PART E: Waging War with Bad Money -- Chapter 12: Bad money in war, proxy war and economic war -- PART F: Bad Money in US Elections -- Chapter 13: A modern history of bad money in US elections 1890-2012 -- Chapter 14: Malinvestment, inflation and populism 2016-25 -- PART G: Speculation, Havens and Gold -- Chapter 15: Manias and Asset Inflation -- Chapter 16: Gold is money first, haven second -- Chapter 17: Life after death for the Swiss franc haven.

This book argues that the blame for the 'Great Pandemic Inflation' in the US and Europe lies with serious flaws in the actual monetary regime. Money is literally out of control with no solid anchor. In consequence further great inflations lie ahead, whether the proximate cause is another massive supply shock (for example war, trade conflict, resource famine) or fiscal explosion or simply malfunctioning of the corrupted monetary system. The book draws on monetary principles applied in the laboratory of history - including wars, great recessions, and US wave elections - to make its key points. The choice of monetary principles is eclectic, including insights from Austrian School and previous works of the authors. The historical examples stretch from the 1890s to the present day. The authors do not shy away from use of counterfactual analysis, including how the shocks from the pandemic or Russia-Ukraine War would have played out under a sound money regime. Questions posed include how a flawed monetary regime has encountered so little political push-back. The answer includes an identification of the sub-groups in the US or global economy who gain from a flawed monetary regime and their wielding of power to protect the status quo. Crucially the book describes how asset inflation, one of the main symptoms of monetary disorder, has weakened opposition to the regime, though ultimately fanning populism due to decades of malinvestment. This book should have wide appeal to academics in monetary economics, international finance, international relations and history, especially those with a passion for the use of history as laboratory. More generally the book should fascinate a wide range of thinkers close to or in the thick of the global financial markets. Brendan Brown is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and Mises Institute. The late Philippe Simonnot was Professor of Economics and Law at the University of Paris Sorbonne.
