This video is factually wrong on soooo many levels 😞 starting with the fact that the central bank does not control the money supply Comment from : Klaus Diekmann

1:23 This illustration doesn't match the demonstration of the situation If suppliers increases the price their product, why it'll shift the demand curve up? Rather it should shift the supply curve upward, and remaining the demand curve same That'll reposition the equilibrium point to a higher price point but a lower quantity point I think, that'll match the graph illustration with the situation explained Comment from : Farhan Sakib Socrates

So why don’t we just print more money but with is comes a rule that prices shouldn’t increase? Comment from : Phillip Townsend

Okay so why don't the government central banks and business owners come to an agreement where they lower taxes, print money and set e ceiling for prices while printing money? I don't understand why this would be difficult? I mean everything gets more expensive because everything gets more expensive That's what causes inflation Not the fact that there's more money circulating Comment from : Cristobal Balenciaga

Isn’t that a ponzi scheme ? Using the money from new bond investors to pay off old bond investors… I can’t understand how a government that pulls in more than $5 Trillion a year in tax revenue in an economy that has a GDP of over $25 Trillion ever has a deficit, EVER! Not just a minor deficit, but multi trillion dollar deficits some years It’s mind blowing 🤯 Comment from : JAYFUL FILMZ

Out worlds don't have the type of GTA V logic or other open world game logic when you can put cheat code and create unlimited amounts of money without any consequence, look at china, north korea, venezuala, they are communist countries where they hate to get outside help, and they intentionally created unlimited self sufficient money and now they are all in near apocalypse economy crisis status, there money and physical cash currency become useless and unable to even buy a cheapest watch you can find in amazon, they need to used hundred thousand of dollars to buy 10 chicken (or other farm animals) for foods, that crazy Comment from : Beyonders Supreme

printing can be done full-on, but there could be limitations on securing these stations and providing resources to these stations As these stations produce things that govern large segments of society, their social fabric, and thus power Comment from : Shanthan Reddy

2 inflation is considered heathy according to who? Comment from : Alan Gallego Macias

If first person buys $1 biilion dollars with interest of 1, so the total amount after one year to be paid will be $101 billion dollars, But the economy has only $1 Billion in running, so from where will he bring extra $10 Million dollars, for that again someone will buy bonds to repay that, and thats how this debt will get on increasing with inflation getting high And yaa the first person to get that loan will always be richer than the second, second will be richer than third and so on, until it will reach the person where the currency amount has no value That is why in this world the person who works more is paid less and who sits on desk paid more (person who resides rules, white collar jobs) That is why there is unequality That is why world will be upside down in a Capitalist society It is not about how much you are worth, It is about power Now you know why finances are not taught in school Comment from : Aditya

Does US printing money cause inflation globally? Comment from : Henry N

CARES wasn't in response to job loss, it was to allow people to stay at home and for businesses to continue to run payroll even though they were no longer operating By the end of 2022 people found more profit in staying at home (in certain states) than working We have never, once, written off trillions in debt in response to job loss and business closure, that would be either revisionist history, or, someone is horribly misinformed about US history and if you're over the age of 10 in 2022 how could you possibly have been misinformed about current events in 2020?

🔶⬜🟢 Gems Comment from : YT Viewer

To the people saying "Why can't they just force companies to not raise their prices" Your reasoning is the sort of vague non-answer to the problem that has kept the can of illusionary growth going in the first place Apart from the obvious fact that businesses would go bankrupt, because you are asking them to lose money, it isn't addressing the underlying inflation, just expecting businesses to cop it There are two ways to the current inflation crisis You can raise central bank rates to limit consumer demand and you can have the central bank sell back it's goodies into the market This is what the central banks are saying they will do, but they are in trouble, because they essentially empied their entire bag of tricks during Covid, overshot, and now have no interest rate floor to drop back to if they rise it and trouble starts Governments are incentivised now to spend more to "Give people" to help inflation, which just worsens inflation, and will likely resort to raising taxes with the increased spending, which is obviously also a drain on spending As you can see, there are no easy answers, especially when you've kicked the can down the road for so long with easy answers, suddenly you have no tricks left in the bag It's like giving a meth addict meth every time they start to come down Sooner or later, they need a detox (recession), and that's not popular to an economically literate society, so they keep kicking So "why don't they just force businesses to keep their prices stable" is both insanely unfair, and also kicking the can, as is "just spend more", or "just lower the rates"There are only hard VERY HARD answers from here, and I for one am glad, having been blocked from asset prices spiralling beyond the saving ability of young, middle / working class workers for the sake of an invested few who were capital heavy pre 2010 They found a way to buy a decade of extreme wealth and make it look good to the poor - like heaven with all the spending But the can hits the wall eventually Unfortunately, well it explodes, I foresee the situation where the rich will prey on the illiteracy of the many to concoct another brilliant "solution" which will look amazing once more to the poor and debt burdened, but actually favour the richAnd it's not "saving the banks" It will be debt cancellations (massively helping asset rich and debt heavy wealthy folks), a globalized currency and digitized currency, and the complete control of money in a centralized system It's a lot easier than solving this current mess! Comment from : Michael A Barnes

I still don't get why the businesses raise their prices brWeren't they getting that printed money too? brOr is it the consumer's suffering that sustains them? Comment from : BlueGuise

This still doesn't completely clear my question, why does the reserve not just print money to pay to workers for a cities growth? Comment from : Shlok Waghela

Um That opening statement was simply factually untrue The COVID pandemic did little to us economically, however government led responses to COVID were definitely catastrophic Our society has gone through much more deadly pandemics (eg Spanish Flu), without catastrophic effects on our economy Comment from : Chad Parsons

Sounds like rubbish to me why not just have fixed sale rates and tax rates and print more money and help benefit some of poorest people worldwide just an excuse a country can not be in debt in my eyes it controlls its own finances no matter what twist you put on it how can the queen's head be om our notes but she have no control over how much is printed the queen's family has wealth she is the the ruler so how can the country be in debt moneys just another computer currency now money doesn't need to be printed to exist Comment from : ROBLOX GAMING WITH HAPPYNIGHTSWOAH

Sounds like a ponzi scheme Comment from : Burnout minion

Yeah but why do they have to rise prices? Put a law to not rise prices maybe Comment from : Marioara

In my country Sri Lanka, this is happening at a frightening rate The government keeps printing money and keeps burrowing from China Funnily, the president, prime minister and the minister of economy are 3 brothers, and they’re the worst, to a point where the presidents niece’s name appeared on the Pandora papers last year The corruption is at an all time high and you can’t even find 100 dollars Imports are heavily sanctioned to reduce the outflow of forex brIn essence, we’re just days away from becoming another Zimbabwe, and it’s so scary and sad Comment from : Yesitha Batepola

Capitalism is doomed to fail Prices are not real Comment from : t

so what ive been researching this dilema for a bit and its always the same answer: inflation Further explanation still doesn’t satisfy or complete the answer either If we printed money like germany after ww1, why do the companies decide to raise the price, cant they just keep it the same and leave the money at the value it once was so everyone can win The treasury bond idea is just a temp fix and essentially is just printing more money in the long run if the bonds worth lowers instead of increasing Anyone have any kind of answer Comment from : may rojas
