    Inflation is significantly more destructive to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market since it directly impacts people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It is not unexpected that current market sentiment is so gloomy. In today's economy, aid is necessary if we are to live.

    Isn't consumerism a significant factor that drives prices up? If people consume less and save up their money then there would practically be less paper going around and that would balance out with the excess printing.

    • @foolmetwice374
      @foolmetwice374 Před rokem +1

      Yeah, that's the whole "velocity of money" argument, which is part of price discovery, but as long as people are producing more than they are consuming, prices should continue to drop for goods of equal quality. And while worker productivity has gone up, thanks to innovation and new technologies, real wages have not kept up; they are down. And the culprit is money-printing.
      So yes, consuming more frugally and saving/fixing things rather than breaking and throwing everything away so quickly also plays into the shortage of goods relative to dollars a bit. But money-printing appears to cancel that out by far, as half the US dollars ever printed in history were printed in the last 3 years. I mean what are we gonna do, eat half as much food? The government is greedier than the people.

    Governments take away inflation too by raising interest rates. We had decades at or near 0% interest rates. The piper must be paid for that. But don't think that governments can't undo what they've done. Interest rates just hit 5.5%. That's the floor. I imagine even if you have an 800 FICO score you're going to be paying 7+% on a direct/personal loan. The M2 Money Supply has shrunk for the first time in a long, long time. Powell is doing the right thing if inflation is the problem. I think we have much worse demons ahead. Deflation for one.

      Raising interest rates has no effect on inflation, it only effects pricing. You are making the very error explained in the video. Inflation is not higher prices for goods, it is expanding the money supply. You can reduce the extent to which that increase affects pricing(in the short term) by adjusting interest rates, but the currency supply is permanently, or near permanently, expanded. This redefinition you are using was an intentional misdirection to justify and/or make the fiat currency palatable to the populace.

    Capitalism per se does NOT reduce prices. The primary goal of a firm in a purely capitalist system is to maximise return to investors. This means raising your prices and reducing your costs as much as the market will bear. The best thing is to have a monopoly like market power where you set the price, while also having monopsony powers where your employees and suppliers are dependent on you and so you also set the costs. Government regulations can help with this, because regulations always help the incumbent by raising the cost of entry. Unfortunately for the capitalist, and fortunately for everyone else, competitive and efficient markets balance things out. Well at least that’s the theory.

    A lack of supply of products also causes inflation, since greedy businesses can ask for more (supply and demand). The supply chain has been disrupted by COVID and the war in Ukraine, limiting supply. Also, monopolistic enterprises have fewer competitors, so this weakens price competition. Governments have failed to regulate the ever growing expansion of giant conglomerates and chains that push out small businesses. The housing crisis is another matter, but it has been allowed to happen because of lack of government regulation on investment properties, mass immigration and a lack of public housing investment. Interest rates were kept low, despite inflation, to prop up the housing bubble. The money printing presses have bee run hot to provide fuel for the economy for short-term gain (politicians are not interested in the long-term good, only what serves their current interest (re-election and lobby money for their campaigns). The elimination of the gold standard and other deregulation has enabled this. The political left have a habit of big spending to appease their voters, while the right concentrate on the interests of the "haves". WIld spending by consumers hasn't helped either. Those who are conservative are punished with low interest rates and high inflation and suffer from financial collapses which they did not fuel.

    Todays inflation seems like an equality gap expanding. Because if based on his definition there's more money then the prices then in turn can go up. And then it prices the lower income folks out. It's challenging. What do you do about it. oh just work harder and make more. not so fast. How about the more wealthy got proportionately more wealthy and the less wealthy by percentage lost their jobs/wealth/lives. We have way less working class than we did pre-pandemic. Thus the costs of goods go up because you have to pay the working class people more to come to you business. It's in the published medical reports if you believe them or not. All cause mortality at least was reported that way. There's a real labor shortage too. Sanctions caused shortages, driving prices up after the demand went up because the shortage went up. Lots of people have moved in and moved out of all the countries, disrupting the labor force everywhere. The value of stable stay in once place is all broken up. Very complicated. Should we all just go back to gold. Buy it and keep it and live like nomads trading on occasion.

      Is that just a feeling you have or do you have data to back up your likely incorrect statement?

    I love the myriad strawmen and misdirects from Schiff. He says that governments create inflation (using the definition that inflation is always and only a monetary phenomenon). He seems to have forgotten that when gold is the currency (or the backstop), gold miners create inflation. I also wonder whether he realizes that in the current system, banks create money. Money is created by banks when they make loans.
    It's also slightly amusing that he neglects disclosing the fact that the money supply has significantly decreased over the past year, yet prices have increased sharply over the same period. Supply and demand works on both the goods or services AND the money side of that equation, and the dynamic doesn't work at all unless there are a relatively large number of relatively small buyers AND SELLERS of things (the basic definition of a market). America hasn't had that in most areas for decades now. What it has are an incredibly tiny few producers (or middlemen, importantly) which are fairly huge in size, against a huge number of insignificantly tiny buyers. That's not a market so market forces can't work as intended.
    He also calls the strong desire to curry favor in order to stay in office a "fatal flaw of (a) democracy." That is certainly a large problem, but it is in absolutely no way unique to a democracy (nor even to a republic like the USA). The same thing happens in kingdoms, dictatorships, communist states, and everywhere else, though some of the practical effects may look different. From there, one could easily make the catastrophic mistake of thinking we should have 'caretakers' who are 'experts' which 'know best' be the government and run everything. All this is antithetical to a free society. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's a human character flaw, not a flaw in the system that can be eliminated by just changing the system.
    I'm unhappy about much the American Congress (and President) does. I strongly dislike tax credits in all their forms, for example. I strongly dislike un-funded or open, perpetual claims against the Treasury. I'm not a gold bug, though, and I can't help but recall that Schiff has done a pretty good job emulating the old saw about stopped clocks.

      This was a far more nuanced take on the topic than a libertarian "gumment, bad... mmkay?!".
      Was hoping there was someone in the know, pushing back against this nonsense but since I'm not versed in economics, I can't do it. But I know he wasn't spreading any relevant info other than what he said about career politicians but that goes for most jobs. Most of us want to keep our position or improve. And most of us don't do it for the common good, but use the common good to serve us if that becomes a byproduct of our actions.

    I think this gent has exposed something that most trials are in contempt. So there no justice. But he also exposes an issue with wealth creation? Some will see the money game for what it is? Others will not? I hate to say this but this has many parallels with substance abuse. I I can remember how some discribed this to me. Objects have no value at the end of the day they are just objects. They will be that object regardless of their value created in the minds of men. What make things valuable is what they are able to do? You tend to find the things that last the test of time have some utility. As humans were are surrounded by them. What inflation does is disregard the utility of an objects for some imaginary goal? Even in spaces where there’s no government. Inflation can occur? Because when it comes to what people want. Your get one chap who wants something for od price a week or two later some sell that for a higher price? Remember it still the same object but someone decided to appraise the object which the. Inflates the value? It the measurements principles. By measuring it you change it? It a common theme in science. It why the scales where for a long long time, the only measure available to sell goods? You can still see in some Roman markets standard measures scribe in stone. Inflation is essentially greed envy and jealousy rolled into one? Instead of valuing an object true worth? It’s form and function. Some has decided to add layers. So it no longer the much loved object. This is another form of gambling if you like to see it that way? Rarely do the gambles pay off?
