"During the height of the financial crisis, there was a fantastic little exchange between famed investor Hugh Hendry and financial journalist Liam Halligan. In the exchange, which occurred on CNBC, Hugh Hendry laid out, quite clearly, his reasoning for a debt deflation, and why he was confident that QE would not work. Liam Halligan, on the other hand, found it impossible to understand how deflation could occur with such huge increases in base money. Hendry's was a bold call, and it proved correct, but it required an understanding of monetary mechanics that seemed outside the reach of most commentators and pundits at the time.
