Professor Victor David Hansen nails this succinctly:The 1960s revolution was both anarchic and nihilist. But it was waged against—not from—the establishment. Hippies and the Left either attacked institutions or, in Timothy Leary fashion, chose to “turn on, tune in, drop out” from them. ......

Canadian inflation comes from Ottawa. Inflation isn't a mystery. Milton Friedman:Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. It’s always and everywhere, a result of too much money, of a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.
