Unless house-prices start doubling every month, we haven't achieved runaway inflation

No worse than the 'experts' in control of the banking system, such as Yellen, who still thought the housing market was peachy before it came crashing down. The reason these predictions (regarding QE) did not materialise is because, although the Fed does control risk-free dollar borrowing rates, this money is no longer contained within the US and has flown to Asia mostly through carry trades, inflating bubbles in those economies that are very susceptible to "hot money" floes.

I would not anticipate hyper-inflation except as a deliberate attempt to reverse a deflationary crash.

Yeah, it primarily transmitted through to assets. And apparently has encouraged a flurry of stock buybacks.

The multi-trillion dollar liquidity problem at the heart of the global financial system - Telegraph

Maybe they could try to get some of the money out of the offshore tax havens?
