Expert's opinion: Had an interesting conversation with The Dealer out of Hong Kong last night. We were both glued to our screens waiting to see what would happen with the Shanghai equities markets.

As with most faulty economic doctrines, the claim that economic growth causes price inflation isn't just wrong, it's exactly backwards.

Until January, President Bush seldom acknowledged the widening gap between the rich and the middle class. Then, in a speech, he declared: "I know some of our citizens worry about the fact that our dynamic economy is leaving working people behind. ...Income inequality is real." He has raised the subject several times since.

I've never been shy about saying "I told you so." Now we're seeing the foreclosures I predicted back during the real-estate boom. A lot of people are going to end up holding paper that isn't worth the price of the ink on it.

Consumers paid more for energy, food and a host of other items in February as a sluggish economy failed to extinguish inflation pressures. But in a hopeful sign for growth, factory output posted a better-than-expected increase.

Did you ever think that a counterfeiting money could be good for the economy and that the counterfeiter could be considered an economic genius or even a national hero?

Bush's intransigence on Iraq is fracturing the American body politic. This destructive trend, combined with growing political pressure for dollar devaluation and a slew of negative economic factors, is likely to prompt significant dollar depreciation, sending asset values in the US sharply lower and precious-metal prices soaring.

High corn prices are wreaking havoc on Mexico's inflation rate and forcing shoppers to pay more for eggs, milk and tortillas. But they're a godsend to farmers.

Perhaps it is time to feel uneasy. Though not very powerful now in much of the world, inflation is an uncomfortable force that may be getting stronger.
