You would be hard pressed to find a sane economist that wouldn't admit that money printing has caused ASSET price inflation. This is only exacerbating the wealth inequality issue.

The takeaway from this article for me is that economics is a deeply flawed practice. Practitioners largely disagree and move the goal post on most economic issues so that they can never be wrong. I refer to this as "Economist speak." Carefully listen to most professional econ people talk and they frame answers in the most dodgy and non-committal way possible.

I respect economists like Shiller because they often respond to difficult questions with "I don't know." That is refreshing in the world of econ, where most problems are filled with a great degree of randomness and time lag that don't fit well into models.
