Does it matter if there's fine art inflation? The real estate inflation boom seems more linked to housing policy than QE too...

Declaring mass inflation for the dollar doesn't seem to align with how CPI is evolving though, and it's not like the dollar is losing much ground to foreign currencies. If standard purchases haven't changed much, and purchasing abroad hasn't changed much, could we say that things have changed much?

Though you're saying slowly, maybe I'll ride the bubble til it bursts just like the rest of 'em.

Depends on how leveraged it is.


Good point, though I really hope we're not basing too many derivative products off of fine arts


Fine art inflation is often just a form of money laundering and a tax shelter.
