The history of "helicopter money" was to the best of my knowledge was first brought up by Milton Friedman back in the day and more recently by Ben Bernanke as a way of preventing deflation. That is, what I believe, what is happening today with the stimulus. It is designed to fight deflation by causing inflation. Let's hope it works because a trip down the road of deflation would be brutal to say the least.
