2008-2016 with low interest rates/money printing- why didn’t we get high inflation during that time period? ‘because low interest rates don’t necessarily mean inflation’ ok but can you go into it a bit further than that? What made it different than 2020?

Answer 1

money supply wasn’t increased 40% in one year, like it was during the last year of the Trump administration. There is a lot of information available about fractional reserve banking, and how money supply is created, and how it is grown safely. Increasing the overall money supply by 40% in one year is not doing it right.
