We asked four economists and market analysts to revisit what they originally predicted would happen after quantitative easing and assess whether (and why) they were right. Analyst Peter Schiff sticks to his guns, saying that any claims of victory over inflation are premature and inaccurate. Inflation is easy to see in our current economy, if you make a genuine attempt to measure it. Economist Robert Murphy believes we are in a calm before the storm and is confident that a day of price inflation reckoning looms. Contributing Editor David R. Henderson writes that the financial crisis has brought such major changes in central banking that uncontrolled inflation from discretionary monetary policy is not as great a danger as it once was, though he remains critical of the Feds growing powers. And economist Scott Sumner claims victory for the market monetarists, noting that both Austrians and Keynesians have been proven wrong by events, and urging both sides to take markets seriously.—Brian Doherty From Reason Magazine
