Arthur Laffer on Inflation

Arthur Laffer created the Laffer Curve, a rather dubious piece of economic theory that entered the economic canon without ever passing through the peer-review cycle.

He has a rather good piece on inflation and monetary expansion in the Opinion section of the Wall Street Journal.

His argument is that the monetary base has increased dramatically, and that this should result in inflation. Since I've been saying the same for some time, I like the argument.
