it could just be the increase in wars around the world. i don't know about other countries, but i remember reading something that said that one of the reasons we went off the gold standard was so that the gov't could print up money at will to finance wars. more wars = more money in circulation.

i'm just curious: if there's twice as much money floating around, why are earnings stagnant?
