“Let's say I am a chocoholic and I eat tons of chocolate a day. A hundred thousands of tons a day. I have this craving, but I can't afford it, so I get a printing press, and I start printing money, and I print billions and billions to buy chocolate.

But now the feds arrest me and shut me down. And now there is a depression in the chocolate industry. That's what happens with the monetary policy.” I CanHappensRunningPolicyIndustryDemandHundredDown AndPressesStoresBillionsFedsChocolatePrintMakersCravingPrintingMonetaryPrinting PressMonetary PolicyCocoaPrinting Money Author:Charles Koch
