I don't think any econmist really understands how rigged it all is regrdless of what party is in office. This shit show is 50 years in the making. Economist are taught the wrong stuff on purpose. So they can have this high degree to advise politicians... just like the Rich want them to do. It is really not that hard to figure out that these economist think they are correct when they are part of the damn problem in the first place. Debt based societies eventually die. They have too because you ever need more and more debt... at some point the debt levels get to high and the currency dies. It is that simple. I have never heard any economist talk about that. And that is exactly where we are at. How much longer can it go on. I have no idea maybe 1 year many 20... but I do know it is dying.

Since the Nixon shock the dollar is changed to be a central bank note, today we all know how much dollars you need to buy an ounce of gold.

The US economy is a powerhouse with a diverse range of sectors. The stock market and the dollar have traditionally been safe havens due to their long-term growth and stability. However, potential downturns are part of the economic cycle, and laws are in place to manage defaults and asset seizures. Inflation can be a concern, but remember, certain assets like stocks and Crypto’s acts as a hedge. Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months...

CPI and monetary inflation are different. Money inflation is simply more fiat money circulating...which is a surprisingly difficult metric to measure. M1, M2, M3... CPI is a crooked government calculation of consumer expenses which are constantly being adjusted to consumers buying behaviors. When monetary inflation occurs but no additional goods and services are introduced, existing prices increase...until consumers alter their behavior and opt for cheaper goods and substitutions. This is why you can have monetary inflation while CPI stays even. Monetary velocity, psychology and purchasing habits all affect CPI.

The simple truth of the matter is that we are struggling to make ends meet. Keep up the good work! I really love the information your platform provides and I applaud your professionalism. Thank you!

She isn't exactly defining inflation properly. Yes, consumers begin to bid prices up but they can afford to bid up prices bc the Fed/Govt have pumped way more liquidity into the system than is needed. So, inflation is ultimately and always caused by monetary policy creating too much stimulus.

There is a real shortage of lower and mid level workers . Shortage of good, mechanics, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, roofers, fast food workers, warehouse workers, medical staff and even doctors . I know the financial wizards look down on this class of workers but they hold the foundation of our civilization in place.

A superb and knowledgeable guest. A detailed general depiction of a rather gloomy Western economic future. On the whole Professor Stevenson is spot on - just takes a while getting there, 17 mins in...(comparison with US and Australia). GDP growth per person has been terrible in the West for years now as all governments try stimulate and grow their economies by importing cheap labor rather than improve productivity. Recently GDP per person has gone negative in Australia as it struggles with the downturn in China. My guess is it will also be the same in Canada - both being large exporters to China. The trap for intelligent economists like this is they are entrenched in bias within their own field of expertise. And get bogged down with endless reams of data. I think the professor did a pretty good job putting things together in this interview - summarising the current state of a rather depressed situation in developed economies. At the end of the day economics is the study of the psychological response to people bartering and transacting to stay in business and try grow their own personal wealth. Economics fails because mathematics can't model this psychology and models cannot predict the future because there are unlimited variables in human behaviour. Psychology is bad right now. The best indicator of this is business and consumer sentiment which is awful and has been depressed for months now around all Western economies. Bankers aren't lending because they are untrusting of government fiscal laxity. Governments need to balance their budgets to regain bankers trust and for this physiology to improve. The Fed also doesn't seem to focus on these psychological indicators either, so by keeping monetary policy too tight for to long, they are sleepwalking the US economy into a recession. Like all central banks. Just MO

It is important to reconsider the role of real estate as an investment. We should aim for minimal increases in property value. Additionally, if someone intends to use their own home as a rental property, we must carefully consider their intentions and possibly prevent such actions. Allowing homeowners to prioritize profit over the well-being of the community could lead to serious issues. Instead, the focus should shift from greed to fair and equitable practices. For instance, if a homeowner has fully paid off their mortgage, any rental income from the property should not exceed the equivalent of the homeowner's original housing costs.

She has talking points just like AI. Lots of facts and bubble thinking, no substance or applicable solution because the real problem is not provided. It is academic. AI can easily replace academics. What a human does with the provided information is what will determine solutions and results. My bet is that there are plenty of people in influential roles that are like her, who are providing consultation to positions of power that have no clue as to what they are doing.

What is so fascinating to me is that in all of these experts on various sites, I have yet to hear any of them, sans Ed Dowd, talking about the elephant in the room. That elephant is the "safe and effective" that 3/4 of the planet were coerced into taking and now, we're seeing 5K deaths a day and 2.5K debilitating injuries per day. This 7.5K per day in the US are NOT coming back into the labor force. About 2.5MM people per year and the death and injury is just getting started as it will get much, much worse. Looking forward to the big brain that brings this to light.

No, she's wrong. Inflation starts when govt spends money and hands out more money funded by debt which devalues the dollar. The covid supply chain imbalance was just temporary until supply caught up. The actual inflation rate of over 20% over the past four years is permanent until debt is paid down and dollar restored via deflation

about the house situation. I don't think old people staying in 4 bedroom homes are the issue. Most old people probably have finished their 30 years. So they can literally sell their 4 bedroom house and buy a small 1 bedroom condo all in cash and have a lot leftover cash from the 4 bedroom house for their retirement expenses. I think it's more so the old generations are taught to invest in real estate and live off of rents. I think there is a statistics that most boomers own several rental houses. As housing supply goes down, they naturally have the power to raise rent since younger people cannot buy house. It starts this vicious cycle of old landlords getting richer from high rent and buying more houses and renting them out for even higher rent. Continues to shrink housing supply. As soon as they build more house to increase supply, it will be bought up by a rich boomer. Only way to fix it is to wait for the boomers to pass on unfortunately. I have literally met a boomer landlord who is renting out 20 houses already and telling me that he need 10 more to retire comfortably... Boomers are the largest and the wealthiest generation. Resources will be locked up until they pass on and release all those resources.

Housing will not be fixed unless the gov't treat housing as a critical resource and prevent corporations/investors buying up all the available housing stock. There should be huge taxes on house purchasing except when it is your principal residence. The bubble economy was created through huge increase in money supply and unnecessary stimulus spending. Govt made a lot of mistakes starting with era of ridiculous near zero interest rates.

She says things only an intellectual ACADEMIC would say... "deflation creates more problems than it solves". so people are concerned to always pay higher prices for ALL things?? I am on the Jeff Booth camp, deflation is good in the long run, ALWAYS and by nature all new technology is deflationary. In a stable monetary system all thing tend to be deflationary. So it is not that deflation is bad, but that the gov can devalue the value of the money, so it seems deflation is OK for them, but not for the working people??
