“By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of its citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate *arbitrarily*; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.” - John Maynard Keynes
