If the article persuaded libertarians that their claim 'inflation is government stealing your money' is as fanatical as 'taxation is government stealing your money', then it has done its job.
It simply argues that both statements should be treated with contempt, especially since the former has recently been in vogue.
I'm saying that a central authority with that kind of power is necessary and advantageous in a recession. And that they (central banks) are more accountable to the people than e.g gold mining companies.
And the propensity for libertarians to indulge in conspiracy theories is more than guilt by association.
