The "Debasing the Currency to Jump Start an Economy" Myth
"Debasing one’s currency does NOT solve anything. There is no way that a country can force others to subsidize its economy through debasing one’s own currency or that one can “jump start” or “stimulate” one’s own economy by debasing the currency. All currency debasement accomplishes is a transfer of wealth from the non-exporting sectors of an economy to exporting sectors and foreigners. In other words, increased exports are subsidized by one’s own citizens."
