Since governments print money on demand, I don't see why we should pay taxes anymore like energy, gas, and water payments are not enough, they all come with taxes. The only reason taxes were invented in the first place was to get money in order to repair buildings, streets, hospitals etc, and when one decided to better print then wait for taxes to catch up, there should be no reason to force people to keep paying taxes.

Which was last week for some people.

Sir Josiah Stamp, director of the Bank of England during the years 1928-1941, makes the following statement with regard to banking, “The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in iniquity and bom in sin. Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again... Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in. But if you want to continue to be slaves of the banks and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.”

the only solution to inflation is to spend on good investments so your total portfolio doesnt lose value. since cash is gonna lose value in the last years months of recession. I was scared to buy a car and I actually got in a good credit in 5 years my car is paid and Ill be paying way cheap per month compared to his initial (inflated) value. I wouldnt put money on ficticious businesses like digital currency since that is a volatile money pit but thats the trend nowadays. In 5 years we will be better than now for sure. People who bought their houses in the last 5 years made the biggest mistake since they shouldve waited for pick recession and not mid covid crisis lol. 2023 2024 is the turning point we should invest now before prosper time. buy when people are scared and save when people are confident consumers.

That's why every pharmaceutical commercial lists off the "side effects", they're basically telling you that this medicine is going to poison you and if you are stupid enough to buy and use them anyway then they cannot be held liable and it's our fault.

When Woodrow Wilson signed the legislation creating the Federal Reserve, he initiated the beginning of the end. The coup de gras came when Richard Nixon removed our currency from the gold standard, something that made it difficult to print money out of thin air. What we see today is the logical conclusion of these acts and the inevitable instability of the monetary system that results. The end started in 2008 and as the fed tried to match the inflation it caused to the natural deflation in the real economy, it just became a matter of time until it all spiraled out of control. We are at that stage now. But, through all of this, the 1% managed to garner a much larger slice of the pie. Ain’t that America.

Very Very well spoken! The part about the depression phase being apart of the cure was especially interesting I had never looked at it that way before. There's 1 idea I came up with that I think would be worth the effort to try and that is to recycle things like aluminum cans and scrap copper and/or any other soft valued metal and turn them into coins of face value of the metal they're made from. If a basic coin making machine could be built that could take things like aluminum cans or scrap copper and turn them into identical size and weight coins then using something like one of those machines you put a penny in and it smashes a picture or logo or w/e on it usually found at fairs and such but in this case it would be a brand of national wealth representation of the Country not representation of some private bank or government but representation of the wealth of the entire country and getting the public at large to do this is mass in turn creating their own wealth with the metals that they accumulate then this would begin creating a medium of exchange that could be controlled by the people and in turn taking back control of our monetary system. It is illegal to coin our own private coin money but if we all started coining money that represented a unified national wealth money system of the people, then this would not conflict with our constitution instead it would be building wealth and monetary gain for it. I am attempting to make a prototype of a basic coin making machine that can take aluminum cans and turn them into coins that can be used in voluntary exchange and I hope someday the idea will catch on to more people in the general public.

This is by far the most accurate understanding and definition of the word "inflation". Almost every other analysis on the internet makes the error of equating the word "inflation" to being synonymous with "rising prices". Rising prices is the effect, but monetary inflation (defined as raising the ratio of the amount of money in circulation to the amount of goods and services in the market (aka GDP) is the cause.

This is why our generation is one of the most disadvantaged in the last 100 years. By definition boomers came first and have been able to accrue significant wealth simply by being born early. Any boomer who bought a house now has something that is worth a significant amount more than their purchase price. Meanwhile wages have been stagnant for 15 years and the average millennial is struggling to even get on the property lader. We are already seeing the societal impacts by the imploding birth rates. Millennials don't and can't want/have children when a house is unaffordable / raising a child is now almost impossible as two people have to work to cover the bare necessities of life.

Very informative, thank you for spreading the message.

Originally got into the school of Austrian economics back when Dr. Ron Paul ran in 2008 and was warning about the Fed. It is a shame to see where we have devolved to economically in the last decade - 15 years; big government begets more big government no matter who is running the show. Once that power is ceded, it is very difficult to reign back in. I think we will be in for a very rough wake up from the insane influx of dollars into the system with yearly government budget increases and from COVID. Also, if the dollar begins to lose it's reserve currency in the world with the petrodollar status, this will lead to more dollars making their way back home. Great content!

One of the best channels on KZread. Keep it up. These are the the lessons people need to hear.

"Slavery to monarchs and ministers, which the world will be long in freeing itself from, and whose deadly grasp stops the progress of the human mind, is not yet abolished." [A Vindication of the Rights of Women, Mary Wollstonecraft, 1797, 3: The Same Subject Continued] "For money is also a metaphor." [Understanding Media: The Extension of Man, Marshall McLuhan, 1964, Ch. 6: Media as Translators] "The only thing I found was a great heap of gold in one corner, gold of all kinds, Roman, and British, and Austrian, and Hungarian, and Greek and Turkish money, covered with a film of dust, as though it had lain long in the ground. None of it that I noticed was less than three hundred years old. There were also chains and ornaments, some jewelled, but all of them old and stained." [Dracula, Bram Stoker, 1897, Ch. 4]

That was brilliant...You explained it all, very concisely.

For me, this was the summary of the Turkish economy. We are at the state of spending money as soon as we get it. We are also able to see people who don't deserve or have capacity to be rich are very rich and the rest is poor. Minimum wage is 8.500 liras per month while hunger limit is 9.425 liras per month for a family and poverty line is 30.700 liras.

Non inflating currencies are very dysfunctional. A currency is primarily supposed to mediate transactions, it's not supposed to be a long term store of value. That's what bonds are for. If the value of money is going up (prices are going down), then why would anyone invest in a real business, when you can just hold on to cash and make more that way? In summary, if people are using your currency as an investment vehicle, then you're doing it wrong.

@@budaraivoso What I said was if investors get a better rate of return for hording cash than they get for an investment such as stocks or bonds, then investors will favor hording cash. Investors like making easy money. It's really not a controversial statement. I don't know what "stop inflating" means. It sounds like you're misunderstanding the problem. I'm talking about comparing the rate of inflation with the rate of return on investment. Currencies don't have stable values, they're always inflating or deflating. There is no magic number the Fed can set as the appropriate inflation rate, they don't have that level of control over prices, and they don't know what the magic number is. It's why the Fed exists as an institution, they have to continually do their research to nudge the inflation rate in the right direction by issuing more or less currency. How do they know which direction to go? By comparing what's happening with the price of money with the rate of return on investment. If investors in your economy are favoring hording cash over investing in the real economy, there's no difference between that situation and a capital strike. Capital is greedy and socially irresponsible, and this situation is the perfect illustration of this. An economy based on hording cash instead of real investing is one in which the people holding onto money are doing nothing of social value with it. In fact, by sabotaging the currency, investors destroy social value when they horde cash. Long term, this is horrible for business, horrible for your economy, and horrible for your society. You want to live in a society where all the money goes to useless people that sit at home and do nothing? This is a society that doesn't reward work, its unjust, dysfunctional, and the monetary incentives are all wrong. From an economic perspective, it doesn't matter who has the money, it matters what they're doing with it. If you don't know how to make good use of your money, the government would rather it go to someone that does. That's the way it's supposed to be. Politically, the problem seems to be an inability for political leaders to criticize and be frank about the role of capital in the economy.

Markets are constantly cross correcting, if you look at a small enough time window you can say the same about any good: "if that good appreciates (or depreciates) its bad for the economy because of so and so". Economists tend to be for free markets except when it comes to money. Here we should go for central planing... i think that is fundamentally incoherent 2- because capital is greedy and socially irresponsible (which i agee 100%) we shoul delegate decisions about the most important aspect of economy (of society prob) to a dozen people (or whatever number) and the results are gonna be better by some magic implication.
