THE BOOK

The worst inflation in more than 40 years was caused by shortages. 

The shortages were caused by Trump and the Republicans. 

When the mainstream media started calling it a money problem rather than a shortages problem, the price gougers jumped in.

And it is going to happen again.

It’s that simple. 

Everything else is cover-ups, distractions, ignorance, and lies.

Dr. Paulaha, a Ph.D. economist, explains it all in The Price of Cheese: How Too Much Stupidity, Not Too Much Money, Caused An Inflation.

It is currently available as a $3.99 eBook.

And because the lessons learned are what every investor and businessperson should know about the economy, inflation, money, interest rates, government, and the Federal Reserve, it should be at least as valuable to decision makers as Who Moved My Cheese? 

Which makes it a self-help book based on the idea that sometimes pep talks are all we need and sometimes it helps to know things.
