If only this was what is happening. But it's not. The check was only for the US. But inflation isn't only happening in the US. It's happening all over the world. That check wasn't that big even. Over here in Europe, inflation is through the roof too. But not because of a stimulus check. You are right about one thing. There is too much money in the market. But it's not at the bottom, it's at the top. And the bottom will suffer.... AGAIN! Your Venuzuela inflation BS was because of US intervention... your government cannot let a country create their own policies if it hurts your oil business. It's well documented. Also, your Private bank explanation is false... not even inaccurate it's simply false. This video is a complete and utter lie.

It's interesting that when central banks like the Fed start raising interest rates, inflation of more than 2% has been a concern. Since more investors would surely take their money out of the stock market as a result of the rising interest rate, I view this as a very significant problem. However, there are still some investors that I know of that make more than $360,000. I wish I could pull that off.

Interesting how over 2% inflation has been a concern when central banks and the Fed begin to hike interest rates. I consider the rising interest rate to be a very serious issue since it will undoubtedly cause more investors to withdraw their money from the stock market.

This video explains inflation from a perspective that is very specific for the US, however is not true for most countries, as inflation can not only originate from too much demand but also too few supply. We actually see this since quite some time, as a consequence of repetitive shutdowns in China and other countries. Furthermore right now there is also a war that Russia started with Ukraine, which aggravates production shortages especially in Europe, as many european countries are very dependent on Russian gas and oil, which is phased out right now. Also a huge number of agricultural products which normally comes from these two countries is also not exported. (e.g. wheat, mustard and vegetable oil) This however means production is getting more expensive, as resource costs rise (which is a bigger problem in Europe but probably also “somewhat” true in the US). Most governments didn’t gave everybody tons of “free” money (or at least not to the extend the US did), however inflation is a problem in many countries. This is not because of too much money but decreased production (from China) and increased costs of resources, which trickle down the production line. Therefore the bigger picture is that there is a substantial reduction in worldwide production, which is not simply solved by increasing the interest rates (which will in turn decrease investment and consequently slow down growth further).

This is the bigger picture. I'm surprised that Johnny, who claimed to have learned econs, didn't at least touch on the supply side of the equation. Oil is the lubricant of the modern economy. The vast majority of transport of all people, goods and intermediate goods requires oil. When the oil is cut, people simply can't deliver to the hands of buyers as much as they used to. Buyers in more need of the now reduced amount of goods will be willing to pay more to secure their needs, thus raising the price for other buys to bid against.

If you want to watch the good videos of Harris, stick with the history and geography ones. This one is pretty trash. He even gets the most basic definition of inflation wrong. Inflation is the general increase of prices for the basket of goods; having more money supply than what the economy needs is a monetary policy.

Harris is lying through is teeth. I hope that you've researched inflation more after you saw this video. Watch Richard Wolff for an actual explanation. Just write "Richard Wolff what is inflation" Shortly: Inflation Is when the cost of products is higher than the value of money. Plain and simple. This happens because employers raise prices, and lower or stagnate salaries. So your salary stays the same, but what you make is sold for more money, and thus your employer makes a profit, whille you struggle paying your bills. *The chat is filled with bots. * this was a prewriten message with small alterations per person sent. *Please send it to a few more people if you've found it useful.

The thing that all of these experts fail to take into account is that the politicians will never act fiscally responsible and they will continue to encourage the FED to print money thereby worsening inflation...

One major factor that was left out is that we are seeing global inflation.

The glut of money was an issue sure, but the surging demand from nations that re-opened from Covid lockdowns played a larger role. Add to this pandemic-related staffing issues and the intentional global oil supply problems and it's a nightmare. I know the intention was to explain inflation but that doesn't do justice to the current inflation on a global scale.

Highly misleading and over exaggerated points made here, with the needless intensity typical of a Johnny Harris video. The biggest problem I had was the insinuation that stimulus checks created inflation. These payments went out while 20m+ people lost their jobs. This money mostly replaced lost income in the economy. If you look just at the demand side, the biggest culprit was the massive change in spending habits of consumers. Being forced to stay home, consumers spent far less on services and much more on physical goods. These goods have to be produced, unlike services. With mass layoffs, idled workers due to quarantines, etc, the production side was sluggish to fill this increased demand. This caused the prices of physical goods to skyrocket. That was the start of the inflationary outbreak we’ve seen over the past couple years.

@audreydoyle5268

Жыл бұрын

You are somewhat right. Stimulus checks didn't create inflation, however it certainly contributed to it. What has really caused inflation, at its core is the inequitable tax bracket for the high income earners. More money to the rich through increased profit margins, from exploitation and wage theft of minimum wage labourers, as well as the evolution of technology causing certain jobs to become redundant and in recent times, covid layoffs, therefore an "inflation" of the unemployment rate. With more labour going unused, human suffering needs to be avoided by stimulus checks, and where does that money come from? An inflation of the "money well", trickles down to an inflation of goods and services, to further increase profits, rising the money back up to the elites. It starts with inequitable tax distribution.

@jayc222

Жыл бұрын

@@audreydoyle5268 While consumers and business pull back on spending, the government actually sends out stimulus checks during recessions to counter deflation. The current inflationary cycle started with physical goods and then took off like a raging wildfire due to extremely low interest rates and easy monetary policy (which encourages spending on mortgages, credit cards, cars, etc due to low interest rates). A low rate environment also incentivizes investors to put cash into stocks (since they get little return from bank savings). Increased equity in soaring home values and stock market allows people to take out low interest loans against these assets (ie margin, HELOC’s, etc) which further fuels the inflation fire. It’s basic economics and the Fed failed Econ 101 when they eased monetary policy way too much and for far too long. The stimulus checks really had little to do with it. It was mostly irresponsible monetary policy by the Fed. I’ll grant you that corporations took advantage of inflation, which they could do after widespread consolidations as a result of the pandemic/lock downs that out many small businesses under. This created a lot of monopolies and oligarchies, giving large corporations excessive pricing power. I think we need to explore anti-trust enforcement, breaking up corporate conglomerates that have become too large and threaten consumers.

It would be interesting to see a video about how QE has affected the world since it was first implemented for the 2008 financial crisis.

Hi Johnny. I think this video is very misleading and quite dangerous to blame such a complex topic on a small group of people "at the top." Inflation is NOT your definition. Inflation is a general increase of prices in an economy. Here are seven common causes of this. 1. A monetary expansion (more money in the economy, as you focused the video on) 2. Less supply of goods and services 3. More demand for goods and services 4. Consolidation of firms into monopolies/oligopolies lead to higher markups than competition 5. Bargaining power shifting towards workers. Higher wages ARE higher costs for somebody and they tend to get passed to consumers. 6. A depreciation of the exchange rate makes imports of foreign goods more expensive 7. High expected inflation means passing through higher prices to consumers as firms prepare for higher costs. Expected inflation can lead to actual inflation. (This is the largest factor out of these seven that is affecting us today. Wish you would have mentioned it) I will say that every single case of hyperinflation in human history was caused by reckless money printing. You would be correct if this video was focused on hyperinflation, but it's not and the other 6 factors absolutely play a role in raising prices. Hope this helps.

They are having a hard time extracting and selling it due to financial uncertainty from Ukraine war and the heightened consumer demand coming out of lockdowns. I wish government would negotiate with this oligarchs and soften the blow rather than heaping the burden on the people.

As someone who apparently has a degree in economics, this "simplication" cuts way too much out and gives the wrong impression. Government stimulus was a factor in the current inflation, which is already beginning to cool down (I'm as surprised as anyone else at how quickly it resolved), but laying the blame on the consumers is ridiculous. This position of attacking the government when it actually did what it's supposed to do (i.e. support those who their jobs, helping support families with children) as something irresponsible weaves a very dangerous narrative and might influence people on important policy proposals. Not everyone was buying fancy ebikes (like what you probably did), but instead were getting food for their family and paying necessary bills. More of the government stimulus went towards businesses, and so many of the big businesses gave themselves bonuses and did stock buybacks instead of helping their employees. They rose their prices as a result of supply chain issues yes, but the chain issues have mostly resolved, and they're keeping their prices up for record profit, as this last quarter has been more profitable for most business than the last 7. I cannot condone this video in the slightest and I emphatically hope that others choose a better source for any information economics related.

This is not accurate. The Federal Reserve system controls the monetary supply, yes; they can increase the availability of money they lend to financial institutions, and reducing the cost of borrowing CAN spur demand. But the Fed is legally independent of directive from the executive branch. They're trying to balance inflation with economic growth and employment as a policy - and they did a GREAT thing by loosening the purse strings when COVID induced a massive recession. But they do NOT control how much the federal government spends - Congress does - and they don't even print money or control how much currency is minted - the Treasury department does that. Further, the primary driver of inflation in 2022 has been the Russian war in Ukraine and related energy and food price increases. This has been well documented by actual economists. And this is the last flaw in this video - the cost of making (and during 2021, shipping) things has gone up due to COVID and the Ukraine situation. That increases prices by reducing supply, even while demand stays flat or falls. We should not blame the fiscal and monetary policies that have led to the fastest economic and employment recovery in the history of this country without doing due diligence on the basics of the topic you're covering, ESPECIALLY when you have, at the time of this writing - 3.27M subscribers.

I remember the recession in the 90s. It effected me hard. Me and my family lost our home. Rate on our home was at 29%. Our fed didn't want to accept the high inflation we had, so they raise over 500% to defend the krona (Swedish currency) later that year they let krona float and it was the worst time to be in Sweden.

One huge thing missing from this is that it wasn’t just the federal government spending money. The demand for services during the pandemic dried up and so most people had more money to spend on goods instead. Demand for goods exploded, meaning a huge increase in the price of goods. This video almost makes it seem like the federal government spending money to help people was a bad thing and solely caused inflation. It was necessary and also was only a part of what caused inflation. The other thing that was included but contributed as much as the fed spending was the supply chain disruption. Supply of goods was sharply curtailed at the exact same time as demand exploded because people weren’t spending money on restaurants or music venues or vacation.

The govt issues inflation-indexed bonds (TIPS) which vary their payments depending on reported inflation, the are essentially risk free since if your government defaults on their bonds you have way bigger problems in your country, so almost any other asset will also be essentially worthless too. Remember that inflation also increases the cost of labour, which is disproportionately beneficial to younger/poorer people. I do understand what you mean when you say "inflation is a tax on the poor", but imo it's more accurate to say inflation is a tax on unproductive capital. If you put your $1m in the bank or in piles of cash in your basement, it isn't being used to build anything of value in the world. Whereas if you loan it out or buy productive assets you're financing real economic activity. Videos like this are super important then to help educate people on these topics. While it's unfortunately true that wealthy people can afford to just pay someone to manage their money, and transaction fees are essentially a regressive tax on investing, I really think understanding economics is a way to escape the paycheque-to-paycheque subservient reality many people find themselves in. Having done a finance degree I can guarantee that all of the stuff they teach you is available for free on Wikipedia.

There isn't such thing as supply side inflation! Whenever a business increase its prices it obviously impacts other prices that also go up. However, if the total amount of money is the same, consumers HAVE to either: - Reduce the quantity demanded for those sectors - Reduce the money spent on other goods, inevitably making them lower their prices. - If everyone raises their prices, recession will come and lower the prices again. Sectorial price changes make relative prices move, but NOT general increases. That only can happen if the central bank increases the money supply. Every inflationary government in the world will push for the cost-inflation theory, that keeps the blame away from them and justifies price controls measures to fight inflation. It's important not to buy this explanation. Record profits are just a consequence of inflation messing up with relative prices and smart people taking advantage of it. Here in Argentina it's actually the best way of doing business, which it's really messed up.

From an economics perspective, this video has a LOT of errors, starting from the very definition of inflation itself, which is the general increase of prices in the economy. Money supply is ONE influencing factor of inflation, NOT the definition of inflation itself. The impact of government stimulus packages on the economy is grossly overrated since it doesn’t take into account where those trillions of dollars actually went into, with the majority going into businesses, not the population. Also taking into account the size of the American economy, the amount of stimulus money sounds like a lot but it’s really not as large as you made it sound in context. The vast majority of families did not just “spend free money wildly” on everything and anything because much of the stimulus money went into the purchasing of necessities to make up for the money that families were losing from COVID, and this point comes off as out of touch. Finally, the raising of prices by businesses is actually NOT necessary due to demand, it’s mostly just large companies getting greedy. Large businesses made insane amounts of profit during COVID, which means they could comfortably afford to keep prices the same as pre-COVID and still make the same levels of profit they did before. Instead, small businesses suffered whilst large businesses predatorily took advantage of the desperation and panic of people to extort them out of money.

well-stated Kendrick. Increase in the money supply is a cause of inflation. The symptom is inflation (a rise in prices) - the main illness and root cause is an increase in the quantity of money (more money in the economy chasing fewer goods).

the editing is on 🔥 and the information is amazing would’ve loved to have a longer version of this, very informative in a very simple way. Great job

Inflation is the ANTAGONIST of the movie Called MILLENNIAL AND GEN Z. 😂.

This might be a good breakdown for inflation in the US, but it certainly isn't accurate for inflation in the EU. We never got checks from the government. Our inflation only went up as fast as it did once the Ukraine war started, making gas and oil prices explode. This in turn made literally everything more expensive because everything needs gas or oil to be produced or maintained. It's not an oversupply of money, it's an undersupply of actual goods at reasonable rates. Hence, a fast inflation explosion went up the entire chain of supplies. This, unfortunately, leaves us with the situation of "We still got no extra money, but now we have to pay 8-50% more for literally anything and everything". This is why Europe is headed for a recession - I can't keep going to the cinema if I can't even pay for my rent. I'm hoping that as soon as gas and oil prices start to go back to pre-war levels, we can get out of the recession before it starts to circle us down the drain.

Recessions are part of the economic cycle, all you can do is make sure you're prepared and plan accordingly. I graduated into a recession (2009). My 1st job after college was aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today I'm a VP at a global company, own 3 rental properties, invest in stocks and biz, built my own business, and have my net worth increase by $500k in the last 4 years.

Since this is a 10 minute thing I'll just ignore it since the nuance here is lacking and there's a bit of misrepresentation of inflation as it's happening in the US, but if you wanted to do the simplest, dumbest, first time understanding of inflation, this is an OK video explaining it. It's enough for a very rough picture of it at least. The fed isn't run by the government, by the way. And his town explanation isn't really how inflation is happening in the US and that part of the explanation isn't the main cause of inflation in the US.

We also need to acknowledge that a lot of the inflation is simply the byproduct of corporate greed. For example, the petroleum industry decided to cut production during the pandemic due to decreased demand, then didn't restart production as demand rose because they can use the limited petroleum supplies to justify charging a lot more money for it. A ton of that extra cash is simply going to executive payouts and stock buybacks. It's not just the Federal Reserve gaming the system by a long shot.

Uh oh M1 money supply moment

The video starts at 2:01 by the way 😅

Question: If the economy is growing and everyone is happily spending money, it means that the demand is high for different products. When demand is high the shop owners increase their prices. In other words, the same products are being mass-produced but the price keeps steadily increasing because people are buying. When all oil countries decrease their production the Oil price increases. There is a limited amount of supply. When bike stores as in this video can't supply enough bikes they produce more and increase the price. Why can't oil countries increase oil production and simultaneously increase the price of oil? Happy if someone can make me understand the logic here, the two examples are in conflict with eachother.

Personally I think one of the funniest things is how businesses will just raise prices, citing inflation as the reason, even though they don‘t actually pay anyone more money to buy their supplies or pay wages. So they just use it as an excuse for a price hike and with that they are creating said inflation. A colleague of mine works at a company that just did that. They raised prices by ~5% ‚because of inflation‘. Meanwhile they ‚can‘t afford to increase wages because of inflation‘ and they are mostly a service company, so they aren‘t paying more for anything else either.

@prism2451

You are missing the point by like a mile. Business don't set prices based on its effective cost. They set prices based on supply and demand criteria. Effective cost of services has little to no relevance in determining the price. If the demand goes too low, a business may be forced to sell its sitting inventory at lower than its effective cost. Funnily enough that's the entire video was about. Demand increases - supply does not = inflation. For that reason alone. He didn't mention production cost because irrelevant and not worth a mention

@@arachosia Yeah, everything rises. It's like a spiral, it's very hard to control it again. When salaries rise, people have more money to buy products, so those products rise again (in one hand it's speculation, in the other it's just the law of offer and demand), so salaries need to rise again to keep up. People get used to it and live a "normal" life, until we have a market shock or a big devaluation of our currency. Suppose, out of the sudden, your currency worths 20% less in one single week. No salaries rise that fast. That doesn't happen everyday, but it's something that happened with every government that we had (left or right wing), and nobody made the inflation really stop rising. Anybody that tells us inflation it's an easy thing to fix, it's bullshiting.

Mostly wrong. People who got checks replaced income not buying a peloton. Most money went to businesses. Inflation isn’t too much money. It’s a part of the problem not the definition. Johnny like anyone has really missed the mark on this one & it’s a pro corporate answer. Blaming the government for giving a stimulus check when businesses got most of the cash as always,

The inflation this year was so bad, a 6 minute video is worth 10 minutes today

This is not very accurate to what is happening this time. The price of raw materials and the cost production is a bigger factor. People should watch Mr Beat's response to this video.

I just don’t understand why businesses HAVE to raise prices. You say it’s to slow spending but it seems like it’s more for increasing profits.

I think there is a problem with this explanation. I'm not an economist and I haven't followed this issue super carefully but my understanding is that a significant driver behind the current situation is cost push inflation not demand pull. The shipping crisis was behind a lot of this. In addition energy has been a significant unique factor and that has been driven by what is happening in Ukraine. The demand for energy is actually relatively constant or perhaps slightly reduced but the supply of energy has changed somewhat and markets are pricing in the current uncertainty. This is not the demand led inflation described in this video. Is that right?

You think it's wrong because it is. The entire way we think about money is wrong. Read The Bitcoin Standard. It will teach you lots. Also for something more brief go on KZread and look up cold fusion's channel and all the ones on money there. Inflation is literally the increase of money supply. Everything else follows. There is a lag by the time they can no longer hide what's going on. Inflation happened in Mar 2020 and continued until this year. Now we are tapering but prices are going up due to the lag. Very few understand. The Austrian approach is the only one that makes sense.

As a small business owner I want to explain that the "bike shop owner" doesn't want to raise prices. When prices go up, then their sales go down because less people can afford it. The reason that prices go up is because the factory they buy their bikes from have a certain capacity (they can make x amount of bikes a day) and any addition to the capacity would takes years to build, so they're stuck with how many they can make. If supply is constant and demand is up, then basically a bidding war happens to try and be the bike store that actually has bikes, whereas the other stores you outbid, now have no bikes. This is happening to the factory owner too with trying to get the right metals, and it's happening for the mine where they get the metals for fuel/ delivery of parts, etc. It's not greedy companies pocketing the money, it's demand outstripping supply.

Given the high inflation, the use of coupons is more widespread than ever and many people rely on them not only for the purchase of food but also for clothing and much more. The transition to the 8112 digital coupon format is imminent. Qples by Fobi is the only platform able to provide physical/digital coupons anywhere in the world redeemable in real time! This is very valuable for the big CPG brands as they allow them to improve their Roi but above all customer loyalty, which has proven to change brands if the situation is advantageous. McDonalds, burger King and many other brands could use Qples by fobi coupons to increase customer loyalty, Roi and improve their margins. Given the high inflation that has led to the reduction in consumer purchasing power, CPGs are looking for new ways to attract customers. I think the arrival of digital coupons and the transition to 8112 has been accelerated by all of this. The decline in margins and profits that we are witnessing of many tech companies, once considered leaders, confirm the shift of the consumer in search of better opportunities and bargains offered by coupons.

It's not demand, its the reduced buying power of the dollar. Inflation IS NOT 'increased prices' inflation referes to the literal "inflation" of the money supply. More dollars chasing the same good are worth less, therefore individual buying power is reduced. Simple as that. This video perpetuates the myth inflation is caused by "corporate greed".

Inflation has multiple meanings dependent on context, yes the value of a currency decreases as supply inflates but prices of basic goods can also inflate. So the inflation is more a descriptor of the change in value than a word with a narrow definition. this video talks about price inflation more than value inflation, but they are definitely both closely linked.

I received $0 from the government. Because of the industries my wife and I are in, we never worked from home during COVID. We are first responders and essential workers who made too much income to qualify for any of those stimulus checks. We worked through it all, faced COVID every day while people were choosing to quit their jobs because they were receiving more money unemployed than their regular 9-5! Spending all their free money too freely on "stuff" they never would have purchased before. Inflating our economy, not understanding what they were doing. I still have a job, and those leeches are unemployed with no jobs waiting for them.

9:00 I am little tired of people crying about "hyperinflation" and the US dollar. Clearly, they do not understand what hyperinflation is.

Inflation is an increase in the money supply (deflation is the opposite -- a decrease in the money supply). Everything else is the pricing effects that go along with it. It has nothing to do with the quantity of goods available. That obviously has an effect on prices, but like I said, individual price changes are not inflation or deflation. Assuming a static money supply, any upward movements (in some prices or the quantities of some goods) in an economy carry corresponding downward movements (in other prices or the quantities of other goods) elsewhere in an economy. Any downward movements (in some prices or the quantities of some goods) in an economy carry corresponding upward movements (in other prices or the quantities of other goods) elsewhere in an economy. Velocity of money is really a manifestation of how active the money supply is, and yes, it has pricing effects as well. All it really means is that a higher amount of money is actively being used for commerce/investment (being used as money supply), and less is sitting idle. Falling velocity is essentially a temporary reduction in effective money supply (being used for neither commerce nor investment). The problem of falling velocity is really only a problem with falling investment, and that's usually due to universal uncertainty (more often than not, an effect of changes in government policy) or outright prohibition of certain kinds of investment. It can also be due to excessive (government) restrictions on the conversion of savings to investment by intermediaries (banks). The inability to convert savings to effective investment is called a recession or depression. It can coincide with supply shocks due to disasters, or it can coincide with a cascade of revealed malinvestment.

Over 40% of the money printed in US history was in 2020… you don’t think there’s a correlation? I think your over confident.

4:25 You missed one huge form of subsidy during the pandemic: tons of people stopped paying rent (even if they still had their old job) because of the moratorium on evictions. And they just spent that money on other stuff. I saw people hauling out old TVs and beds out of their apartment, buying new cars, etc. And that's just the visible spending. Then when the CARES Act sent money to states to pay people's rent debts (because we didn't want loads of evictions for non-payment at the end of the moratorium), those people who stopped paying rent got upwards of $30k in rent debt paid off. The payment went to the apartment owner, so he was made whole. The government paid the $30k. And then the renter basically got $30k worth of stuff they had bought with their old rent budget. Which, much like moral hazard with gov't bailouts teaching banks to risk everything all the time, this teaches renters that if there's ever a moratorium on evictions they should immediately stop paying rent. Just sock away the money. If there's a renter bailout, great, blow the cash on whatever. If there isn't, you can either pay your back rent, or (more likely) move out before you get evicted and dodge the collection agents and just let the unpaid debt slam your credit.

Wow, thank you so much for explaining this!
