One thing I've never been entirely clear on is what exactly people mean by "the money supply," or "printing money." Obviously I understand the process practically, and the premise of its effects on inflation, but I can't join the dots in my mind between physical money being printed, and the amounts of money ending up in people's bank accounts. When they say that quantitative easing results in more money being in the economy and thus lowering the value of a currency / creating inflation, how does the money being printed find its way into the money supply? It isn't as if finance ministers go round to people's home and hand them wads of cash. A person's salary doesn't alter because of this, unless they are paid directly by the state. Maybe we are talking about the money being made available to banks for lending?
You are right that increasing the money supply does not create inflation until the money is actually circulated. The current round of inflation is a result of distributing massive amounts of newly created dollars in COVID relief checks that spurred increased demands during a time of supply chain disruption and shortages. The predictable result is that the new money bid up the prices of the limited supply. Quantitative easing (more money creation) does devalue currency just as more water weakens tea.
They purchase bonds on the open market and put them on thre fed balance sheet. By purchasing bonds with new currency it is now in circulation. It finds its way into a bank account, then the bank lends out a portion of it, which gets spent somewhere and finds its way into another bank account. This continues until thr entire amount is locked up as reserves to guarantee the deposits, which now number 8-10 times the original amount of hard currency originally circulated.
@@fzqlcs It's considerably more complex than this. In a global economy the inflation that results from the creation of money by QE during a down turn or in this instance a pandemic should be considered the price that has to be paid for keeping the money supply during the period of instability under the normal operation money supply is created through the extension of credit not government action in a downturn all that is happening with good governance is that is being replaced by government lending through money creation. As the global economy is dominated by fiat currencies largely digital in construction and using a fractional reserve system to regulate money supply. When there is a shock to the economy there is an immediate reaction that results in a reduction in lending this causes a reduction in money supply and guess what the result is.... The alternative you may ask, gold or asset backed currency well in a downturn less economic activity results in less goods and services and with a fixed money supply guess what happens? The primary difference is that the effect can be controlled and those bumps and troughs smoothed out to a significant extent. The question is too much money being added to the economy in a specific currency can be answered by looking at the relative price of the currency in relation to other currencies, certainly in the short term at least obviously in the longer term there are other factors such as economic activity within those currency areas and commodity supply from those regions. This really is a case of damned if you do or don't but the least damaging disaster to the masses on balance still lay with additional money creation through QE particularly in a service economy. An example of the fluctuations in a currency with fixed supply that can be freely traded could be Bitcoin now in the last year that has fallen by price by in excess of half that could be considered as 100 percent inflation in the real world....
Recession is often the result of external factors, and it appears that the United States is losing its grip as a federal reserve currency. With a decreasing ability to control inflation and a reduction in stocks and oil trading, it seems that a new multilateral world order is on the horizon.
I'm sorry about that. It's really hard to beat the market as an ordinary investor. You don't have access to information that professionals have. So it's just better if you invest with a professional who knows how things work better.
Picking stocks is a risky thing to do, particularly for non-professionals. I learnt that in 2020, when I lost almost everything. But I switched to using a financial advisor, who has better knowledge of the market than I do, and I've been returning at least $38k every month. Just too bad I didn't learn the lesson early on.
I'm not one to give investment advice, because I believe everybody's situation is unique. However, I work with Julia Ann Finnicum , and all I can say is that she's really good at what she does.
Thanks, I just googled Julia Ann Finnicum and her website came up right away. It looks interesting so far. I'm going to book a call with her and let you know how it goes.
Inflation is far more harmful to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It is not surprising that the current market sentiment is extremely pessimistic. In today's economy, assistance is critical if we are to survive.
I'm not kidding when I say that the market crash and high inflation have me really stressed. I've been in the red for a while now and although people say these crisis has it perks, I'm losing my mind but I get it Investing is a long-term game, so focus on the long run.
I do agree and in my opinion, considering the world today, the implications of rising or declining rates, inflation, has minimal effects when it comes to trading the markets. It’s about knowing when to get in and get out which requires experience and basic knowledge of market structure. The markets is psychological, it’ll be suicidal to ignorantly get it. Better still, seek the help of a portfolio manager to passively earn and learn the markets at your pace.
@@joecaruso06 RIGHT! Markets are oceans not lakes. The prominence of basic or institutional financial managers cannot be overstated. Take myself, having faced my share of bad trades, Fortunately with the help of my Pm, I came to understand the essence of timing, capital, entry, exit, goal and how they each affect every asset. Currently hold a $415k portfolio averaging a 14% monthly roi in less than 7 quarters. - -so I do know the importance of basic knowledge and delegation.
inflation can be pursued only so long as the public still does not believe it will continue. once the people generally realized that the inflation will be continued on and on and that the value of the monetary until will decline more and more , then the fate of the money is sealed . only the belief , that the inflation will come to a stop , maintain the value of the notes ? however, I believe that this fluctuation a simple part of the journey towards mainstream adoption and eventual stabilization. I think it's more likely for BTC, ETH, XRP to retest the resistance to the upside and then remove lower
Accumulating losses when trading alone can lead to psychological anxiety. Bitcoin is moving crazy this few days but if you are smart then you should know the best thing to do is to involve in trading especially with the right guidance
Since I have a variety of jobs, I don't have a particular fund that I invest in. I don't act like that at all. I take cues from seasoned financial advisor ‘‘JULIE ANNE HOOVER’’, who is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, in how I conduct myself (SEC). Since then, in contrast to the IRA's slow growth, my returns have increased quickly. What I have is used just by her trades, not by a small number of highly specialized companies.

I bought my first house in 1993 for $60,000 in a nice neighborhood in a small town, 30 miles outside a large city. I earned minimum wage when I got the mortgage with my wife, she also earned the same minimum wage ($5.25 per hour). Today, Zillow shows that $60,000 house is worth $170,000 a 183% increase. Minimum wage is now $7.25 per hour, a 38% increase. Today it would be impossible to buy that same house with minimum wage.
*Have you heard about "Trickle down" economics?* The right wing scam people like Milton and co was pushing? Well, the reason your example is true today is because a practical "Trickle down 2.0" is in effect, but it is in context of assets. People with the most assets, also lose the least during recessions and gain the most on upwards. Leading to a massive wealth discrepancy over time. Instead of "Lets have massive tax cuts for the rich, because they create jobs" (aka Trickle down 1,0, which is not true btw. Demand, creates jobs. Your mom shopping creates jobs etc), they switched it to "Those with the most assets, gain the most as well" (Trickle 2,0). Now think of that in context of your house. 183% increase, but its not just your house. It is billions worth of assets. Completed with shattered Unions and real wages not keeping up with inflation. Prices still going up and employers pocketing the difference themselves instead. You get trickle down 2,0 and massive unfair wealth share that is dwindling the middle class. Which ironically is the fuel for capitalism, aka macro demand. Without them, there is no capitalism. Yet these so called "pro capitalist" "experts" (Milton proclaimed wage would increase naturally with produktive, therefor no need for Unions for example, cant get more wrong than that in context of 3 decades of empirical evidence after the claim). Continue to push what I call "Siphon Economics" (benefits individual companies short term, at the cost of the nation and citizens in it) to this day, while not giving a rats A about new evidence, but keep posting this as if it has not been debunked.
@@Roadtripmik I remember 1997 very well, that year jobs were booming. I got my first break as fas as jobs go, $16 per hour as a mig welder in training, 64 hour weeks, double time pay after 45 hours. I had 3 paychecks in my wallet most days because I couldn't get to the bank before 5 pm. Great money, tired all the time. That job was a 10 minute drive from home. Good deal on your dads house, I see Philly tax is very low for such a huge city, 0.98% tax rate.
What jobs were you both doing for minimum wage? In my entire lifetime of 38 years, I think buying a home with two minimum wage jobs would have been damn near impossible. I'm not sure how anyone would have approved you both. note: minimum wage in 1993 was $4.25, which I guess just more proves your point.

@@Dzvakangark Then you have cheaper money buy up way to many resources so prices go up and if you're just printing off money and making it cheap why would inflation stop? just take more money from the money tree. Then money loses all it's value unless you put interest rates way up. We need the gold standard and hopefully we will go back to it sooner rather than later.
My wifes Great Grand-Uncle made a good living out on the gold fields. He saved everything and then used that money to set up a little Grocery store that he then built into a supermarket. Many of the people who would have worked those fields and mines would have saved their money and used it for family reasons. There would have been a considerable number who did not save their money and would have wasted it and what they did was all about the nomatic work lifestyle.
Teringventje - True, and wealth redistribution was an idiotic idea then, as it is now. The free market punishes the vast majority of the "get rich quick" crowd. Some make it, the rest perish.

In the United States, year-on-year inflation stood at 6.5% in December 2022, the lowest figure in more than a year. Inflation was in line with economists' expectations and gave many reason to believe that peak inflation may be behind us. I have about $150,000 of stagnation in my portfolio that needs growth. What's the best way to take advantage of this downturn?
It really isn’t about how much you save, it’s about how you manage your money. Whether you work to earn income or invest, it still boils down to income vs expenses, so yeah you may look into financial advisors for a strategy that suits your timing.

A number of the most eminent market experts have been expressing their views on the severity of the impending economic downturn and the extent to which equities might plummet. This is because the economy is heading towards a recession and inflation is persistently above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. As I'm aiming to create a portfolio worth no less than $850,000 before I turn 65, I would appreciate any advice on potential investments.
There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.

This video debuted on youtube several years ago, when nobody seemed concerned about inflation. I hope this video gets noticed by the younger generation who are experiencing it for the first time. Being 64 years of age, I remember well the inflation of the 70's and how it impacted me when I began to work. Prior to that, it was a conversation topic for parents as they read the newspaper and scoured the sales sheets and ads for the cheapest prices on food. My first classes in economics in the mid seventies, focused strongly on this topic. My biggest fear in recent years was that inflation would return - and lo - right as I am about to retire, it has returned.
Okay this is good, but With inflation running at a four-decade high, a Recession is now the ‘most likely outcome for the economy. How can I grow my portfolio to outpace inflation and maintain a successful long-term strategy? I have been reading of investors making about $250k profit in this current crashing market, and I need ideas on how to achieve similar profits
You’re right! The current market might give opportunities to maximize profi.t, but in order to execute such effective transactions, you must be a skilled practitioner
On the contrary, even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I am a project manager and my personal port-folio of approximately $750k took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my port-folio this red season. I’ve made over $150k since then

This video should be shown to everyone when they're in high school, so they know how money works when they graduate. Because the amount of grown adults today, whom are economically illiterate is quite staggering.
I genuinely think it's too late and voters are far, far too easily fooled. Blockchain is the answer now. Crypto is just better than fiat money and even the governments themselves are showing themselves to be iltimately unable to resist switching to it since they will need it to trade with other governments who aren't subject to their proclamations.
There are too many rich people (decision makers) who want to keep the masses economically illiterate so they can keep a vast majority of wealth for themselves and keep as many people at minimum wage as they can.
This is a complete mischaracterisatoon of how new money is added to the economy. It's added via commercial banks in the form of loans and mortgages, and not by the govetbment. The gov adds some money, covid and the 2009 crash being two examples, but in normal times, government don't add much money. But if you're against the government in principal, then this narrative suits your agenda.

Lol....Inflation is here on Biden's watch, but any real economist or educated person in finance would tell you that this inflation is caused by the ridiculously large money print/manifestation thar Trump into action when Covid hit. The Covid relief acts caused us to print 25% of all the money we've ever printed since the nation's birth in just one year. The effects of that in 2020 are the cause. It takes a year or two for the money to circulate fully into the system but here we are. I'm not saying it's Trumps fault either but it certainly isnt Biden's fault. I do however blame Trump for his dismissal of Covid until it was too late and it sunk in heavily.
Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. A trader made over $350k in this recession influenced market
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

To really do it right, go right down to the product ingredients, for the comparison.

Now the employee is forced to work for a minimum wage and the employer is forced to pay it, whether they can afford it or not, meaning the employer must raise prices on the customer.

I actually met Milton Friedman and his wife Rose at a symphony performance in San Francisco. I had gone with a friend who was an economics professor at Cal state Hayward. During intermission he saw Milton and Rose and introduced me to them.
he did not explainvery well about the money supply is just simple said that more money in the market cause inlfation with no explanation for example in Venezuela right now the reason that it is a high inflation of 200% or more is due to the decrease on value of the currency and the increase on the money supply and the buying power of the Bolivar Venezulean currency it's value has decrease but the dollars right now is stronger than it was in 2001 and the dollar is even stronger after the pandemic
This is what's happening in Venezuela. The government is printing more money so they can pay their state employees. Their State Industries are not producing enough. But the government keeps printing more and more money.
The conspiracy theorists generally get a factual point then add up many kinds of artifacts and distortions. Yes, it is true the that US, along with the richest European nations, interfere considerably in every other "third world" country. But these "countries" came to be because of European colonization. There would be no industries, no machinery, no cars, no industrialized food or medication, no electricity, etc. in Africa or Latin America if not for the "first world" colonization. Now, I'm not saying this is good or bad, right or wrong, but just a matter of fact that what most people believe is a normal or decent style of living would be non-existent if not for US and European direct or indirect influence. The problem is that without foreign capital and influence, countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, would have serious drops in technological and industrialized goods. Left-wing politicians in Latin America are like rich rebellious teenage kids who see their parents as just an annoyance but fail to see that it's their parent's work that funds their bratty rich kids lifestyle (when that is the case, obviously). It is common for left-wing/nationalist partisans in Latin America to complain about European or North-American "imperialism" while at the same time making intense use of Facebook, iPhones, medication developed by American and European companies, refrigerators, ovens, tennis shoes, trains, busses, cars, smartphone apps, and several other things that people are completely CLUELESS that come directly from "the imperialists". Now, I have nothing, NOTHING, against people who actually live a more natural life, in the fields, or forests, or whatever, and who are "against the imperialists", but all these naive hypocrites, who are totally dependent on all sorts of machines, chemical substances, urban facilities, banks, etc. to believe that they can continue with this lifestyle without the influence and support from "their daddies"... these people are lame. It is true what the first commenter said, authoritarian governments try to increase power by augmenting their structure, hiring more government workers, increasing their salaries to make them more dependent, facilitating credit to poor segments of society, overall increasing the supply of money, which then increases the buying power of the population to higher rates than the development of the productive structure. These policies also end up transferring money outside the country, because so much of the products bought by the easy credit are provided by multinationals (cars, computers, phones; medication and even food). Many times these big corporations have tax exemptions, government subsidies, that indirectly makes it tougher for national industry development (and that is one factor that nationalists got right, even though it's something that's irreversible in the short term). The end matter is that, for these countries to be "strong nations", independent, they would need to go back in time and develop their technologies and industries and infrastructure independently. But that's somewhat of a paradox, because like I said, decades or even centuries ago, the people who developed technologies and infrastructure in these countries were either foreigners or connected to foreigners (Americans and Europeans). The natives in these countries have more tribal and simpler community cultures. The upper classes in these countries are mostly descendants of Europeans (although there are people from other ethnicity, like arabic or asian, who have risen to wealth due to all kinds of businesses possible by the capitalist structure, all kinds of commerce, services, trickery, etc.). It is a problem that capitalism favors certain types who are mostly viewed as "criminals" (liars, tricksters, defrauders, thieves, traffickers, etc.) but still, creative and industrious types of people, who actually create and develop societies, are mostly NOT natives of Africa and Latin America.

"Left with twelve thousands dollars, now that might seem like a lot" jesus was money really worth that much in 1980? Holy shit. That dude has a sweet house.
history doesnt repeat but it rhymes. Milton shows us his study and appreciation of history to help understand inflation. I wish our central bankers were made to study financial history prior to being appointed.
Yeah I really liked how he explained different historical examples. Way better than just blaming it on one thing, even though that's kind of what he ended up doing. But I still like his explanation.
Yes, agreed, but political processes control the debate on inflation. This is why the U.S. with some success put control in the hands of bankers (the Federal Reserve) and not politicians (or printing press operators).

Milton Friedman didn't even understand how the banking system operated. That's why there's half a dozen versions of monetarism all of which failed to match empirical testing. The main fault was the ridiculous notion of targeting the money supply when money was endogenously determined. This video was out of date when it was made - today it's little more than a parody. Most of this video assumes exogenously determined money supply and and endogenously determined cash rate. It simply has no relevance today.

You accepting his arguments shows your own smarts - for only a fool would hold on to his ideological beliefs after they have been laid out and disproven.
The genius of Milton Friedman is explaining esoteric economical concepts in a way everyone can understand. After all, as abstract as it may be, economics has a very real impact on our daily lives.
It's not genius. People mistake charisma for genius every day. That's why successful salesmen have always been the highest paid individuals in America. Friedman was well spoken, amiable, and never spoke down to anyone. And that elevated him to the pinnacle of his profession. And just to set the record straight, engineering has had a "very real impact on our daily lives". But you can't get two economists to agree on anything, because it is not a science and is underpinned only by human belief.
He's not necessarily against the printing of money. Just the irresponsible printing of it. He had a great respect for the fed, but wouldn't hesitate to point out its flaws.
When I was in College we had a brief spate of Runaway Inflation (5 years, 1973-78). It took $1.46 in 1978 to buy what $1.00 bought in 1973! A spate like that today would be horrific and shock those of us too young to remember what it was like. By World Standards our "1970's Inflation" was minor, but in our current economy it would be devastating to many people.
True and that's why it has become almost impossible to make it without 2 or 3 jobs in single family household. But, early on those who did this made out until the economy realized the existence of this second earner and prices started rising to that level. I remember my dad complaining about a $140 mortgage. We today cannot even conceive of mortgage like that.
When I was 7yo in 1973, my dad wanted to buy the old house next door to stop another neighbour buying, knocking down and building 2 new houses there. He had the asking price of $11,700 but it sold for $13,000. Now 45 years later the value has risen to $1.1M. That's an annual average of 11% inflation. And this is normal city outer-suburbia not a beachfront mecca. This is the result of debt and credit becoming the new currency.
Cassette Walkman, also, here's a thought. Who does inflation really hurt, the person borrowing the money to buy an inflating thing or the person lending the money that is losing it's value?
Milton was awarded the Nobel Prize because of his work. He and I share the same Birth Date - 7/31 and although he has passed, his "Free to Chose" will live on as a marker for economics.

What strikes me is how much more complex things are today than when this video was created. Today most “money” is created as assets/liabilities on banks balance sheet when they extend credit to a counterparty. Similar to how you get a mortgage for a house - that “money” DOES NOT EXIST. Instead it simply shows up as an asset to the bank and a liability on your own personal balance sheet that will be repaid with future your future wages. Again - no money was created, but it allowed you to purchase a real asset. Using the mid 2000s housing bubble as an example when banks were light on diligence and ready to lend to anyone with a pulse this resulted in a housing bubble (financial asset inflation) that fed through to everything else via HELOC and inflated collateral values. I tend to view inflation as more of a function of the general easing or tightening of financial conditions (which the Fed along with other central banks ATTEMPT to control) that is set by the collective set of lenders/borrowers. Things get much more complicated when you start thinking about shadow banking (a la AIG selling CDS that created billions of dollars worth of liabilities that were ultimately repaid to counter parties with taxpayer funds). Interesting that a former Goldman exec who was in control of the US treasury at the time orchestrated that deal.. An ok video that was maybe relevant at some point in time - but clearly outdated given the explosion in complexity of our financial system.
True. What's even more funny is the fact that there are loopholes to clear this digital debt like Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. So you can get away with bad spending habits and if the court sides with you, you get your debt cleared and the bank is the one that takes the hit. Or are they really taking a hit? Who knows...
Inflation is just another form of taxation. When the government keeps printing money out of thin air the money you got its worth less.. If you want to build wealth your money has to grow faster than inflation. Which is even harder if almost half of what I earn goes to taxes.
the good thing about inflation is it reduces the burden of debt. borrow $100 today and pay it back as 100 less worth dollars tomorrow, what would equal, for arguments sake, $90. also, it spreads the tax burden among everyone in much the same way as a flat tax would. inflation isn't a problem so much as lack of productivity is.
We need to get this video trending on youtube's front page. Everyone that sees this needs to hit like, comment, and share. When you watch the news today they act like this is all new, but it isn't. It's taxation without representation.
Friedman reminds us that true economists, while fascinated by formulae and statistics, view the discipline as a human one. They are students of history, politics, anthropology etc. That seems sorely lacking in the profession today.
Miltie is smiling all through that film because he knows everything he said was no longer applicable to the fascists he so loved. It's a propaganda piece that explains why the working man gets screwed, but not who ultimately benefits, as if it was the government. The only connection is where the money is spent. Big business and government dumped the average person a long time ago.
Well here in June 2022, this aged well. Once again, DC is spending beyond their means, requiring mass printing of money, driving down the value of the dollars in circulation. This affects only the lower and middle classes because the rich have other forms of investments that are not pegged to the dollar.
Incorrect. The rich in the US have inflation-neutral investments. Mostly because they have so much money that what they're living on is a drop in the bucket of their wealth. Not talking about Bezos. Talking about the millions of people in the top 5 or 10 percent
@@DAG_42 Incorrect, I hold investments that have more than overcome the effects of inflation and the slope of this trend has become even steeper since inflation started accelerating. For example, more people are fleeing blue states and moving to red states to reduce their exposure to inflation. This has caused my Florida and Texas real estate holdings to appreciate even faster than they otherwise would.
@@AaronHollander314 Good thing I offloaded half of it already in the past 6 months. Moved to gold and survival goods. Will offset any losses that could possibly occur.
One thing I've never been entirely clear on is what exactly people mean by "the money supply," or "printing money." Obviously I understand the process practically, and the premise of its effects on inflation, but I can't join the dots in my mind between physical money being printed, and the amounts of money ending up in people's bank accounts. When they say that quantitative easing results in more money being in the economy and thus lowering the value of a currency / creating inflation, how does the money being printed find its way into the money supply? It isn't as if finance ministers go round to people's home and hand them wads of cash. A person's salary doesn't alter because of this, unless they are paid directly by the state. Maybe we are talking about the money being made available to banks for lending?
You are right that increasing the money supply does not create inflation until the money is actually circulated. The current round of inflation is a result of distributing massive amounts of newly created dollars in COVID relief checks that spurred increased demands during a time of supply chain disruption and shortages. The predictable result is that the new money bid up the prices of the limited supply. Quantitative easing (more money creation) does devalue currency just as more water weakens tea.
They purchase bonds on the open market and put them on thre fed balance sheet. By purchasing bonds with new currency it is now in circulation. It finds its way into a bank account, then the bank lends out a portion of it, which gets spent somewhere and finds its way into another bank account. This continues until thr entire amount is locked up as reserves to guarantee the deposits, which now number 8-10 times the original amount of hard currency originally circulated.
Correct on the bonds. Open Market Activity is the term. The Fed also changes the required minimum cash reserves banks must have in hand
@@fzqlcs It's considerably more complex than this. In a global economy the inflation that results from the creation of money by QE during a down turn or in this instance a pandemic should be considered the price that has to be paid for keeping the money supply during the period of instability under the normal operation money supply is created through the extension of credit not government action in a downturn all that is happening with good governance is that is being replaced by government lending through money creation. As the global economy is dominated by fiat currencies largely digital in construction and using a fractional reserve system to regulate money supply. When there is a shock to the economy there is an immediate reaction that results in a reduction in lending this causes a reduction in money supply and guess what the result is.... The alternative you may ask, gold or asset backed currency well in a downturn less economic activity results in less goods and services and with a fixed money supply guess what happens? The primary difference is that the effect can be controlled and those bumps and troughs smoothed out to a significant extent. The question is too much money being added to the economy in a specific currency can be answered by looking at the relative price of the currency in relation to other currencies, certainly in the short term at least obviously in the longer term there are other factors such as economic activity within those currency areas and commodity supply from those regions. This really is a case of damned if you do or don't but the least damaging disaster to the masses on balance still lay with additional money creation through QE particularly in a service economy. An example of the fluctuations in a currency with fixed supply that can be freely traded could be Bitcoin now in the last year that has fallen by price by in excess of half that could be considered as 100 percent inflation in the real world....
Capitalism is state sponsored usury and economic alchemy
Recession is often the result of external factors, and it appears that the United States is losing its grip as a federal reserve currency. With a decreasing ability to control inflation and a reduction in stocks and oil trading, it seems that a new multilateral world order is on the horizon.

RICHESSION OR RICHSESSION
Inflation is far more harmful to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It is not surprising that the current market sentiment is extremely pessimistic. In today's economy, assistance is critical if we are to survive.
I'm not kidding when I say that the market crash and high inflation have me really stressed. I've been in the red for a while now and although people say these crisis has it perks, I'm losing my mind but I get it Investing is a long-term game, so focus on the long run.
I do agree and in my opinion, considering the world today, the implications of rising or declining rates, inflation, has minimal effects when it comes to trading the markets. It’s about knowing when to get in and get out which requires experience and basic knowledge of market structure. The markets is psychological, it’ll be suicidal to ignorantly get it. Better still, seek the help of a portfolio manager to passively earn and learn the markets at your pace.

*Have you heard about "Trickle down" economics?*
The right wing scam people like Milton and co was pushing? Well, the reason your example is true today is because a practical "Trickle down 2.0" is in effect, but it is in context of assets. People with the most assets, also lose the least during recessions and gain the most on upwards. Leading to a massive wealth discrepancy over time. Instead of "Lets have massive tax cuts for the rich, because they create jobs" (aka Trickle down 1,0, which is not true btw. Demand, creates jobs. Your mom shopping creates jobs etc), they switched it to "Those with the most assets, gain the most as well" (Trickle 2,0).
Now think of that in context of your house. 183% increase, but its not just your house. It is billions worth of assets.
Completed with shattered Unions and real wages not keeping up with inflation. Prices still going up and employers pocketing the difference themselves instead. You get trickle down 2,0 and massive unfair wealth share that is dwindling the middle class. Which ironically is the fuel for capitalism, aka macro demand. Without them, there is no capitalism. Yet these so called "pro capitalist" "experts" (Milton proclaimed wage would increase naturally with produktive, therefor no need for Unions for example, cant get more wrong than that in context of 3 decades of empirical evidence after the claim). Continue to push what I call "Siphon Economics" (benefits individual companies short term, at the cost of the nation and citizens in it) to this day, while not giving a rats A about new evidence, but keep posting this as if it has not been debunked.

A number of the most eminent market experts have been expressing their views on the severity of the impending economic downturn and the extent to which equities might plummet. This is because the economy is heading towards a recession and inflation is persistently above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. As I'm aiming to create a portfolio worth no less than $850,000 before I turn 65, I would appreciate any advice on potential investments.
There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.
I've been in touch with a financial advisor ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $750k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.

This video debuted on youtube several years ago, when nobody seemed concerned about inflation. I hope this video gets noticed by the younger generation who are experiencing it for the first time.
Being 64 years of age, I remember well the inflation of the 70's and how it impacted me when I began to work. Prior to that, it was a conversation topic for parents as they read the newspaper and scoured the sales sheets and ads for the cheapest prices on food. My first classes in economics in the mid seventies, focused strongly on this topic. My biggest fear in recent years was that inflation would return - and lo - right as I am about to retire, it has returned.
The younger generation doesn’t care, they blame capitalism and want Marxism, socialism or communism in its place.
inflation is taxation without representation

Covid is an excuse for the government to hike inflation again. The government never lets a crisis gone to waste.

How can I grow my portfolio to outpace inflation and maintain a successful long-term strategy?

I wonder were old Bob Crawford is today?
Lol....Inflation is here on Biden's watch, but any real economist or educated person in finance would tell you that this inflation is caused by the ridiculously large money print/manifestation thar Trump into action when Covid hit. The Covid relief acts caused us to print 25% of all the money we've ever printed since the nation's birth in just one year. The effects of that in 2020 are the cause. It takes a year or two for the money to circulate fully into the system but here we are. I'm not saying it's Trumps fault either but it certainly isnt Biden's fault. I do however blame Trump for his dismissal of Covid until it was too late and it sunk in heavily.

It all started with Nixon taking the US off the gold standard. Previously, there could only be the amount of money in the economy that matched the gold reserves. Now, no coordination to the printed dollar to any value - just debt piling up on more debt.
Is this a joke?
@@eljamo93 Hes right about the Nixon Shock and severing of the U.S. dollar's ties to gold. Since then, the world's monetary system has consisted of mostly freely floating currencies. However, Friedman was one of the main architects of neoliberalism becoming mainstream.

His political philosophy extolled the virtues of a free market economic system with minimal government intervention in social matters. His ideas are what have us in this current mess of extreme inequality.
@@eljamo93 It's not a joke. In 1971 Nixon took the US off the gold standard.

@@KurNorock which Is different how?
@@truemamrdi4all because higher wages that are the result of employee/ employer negotiations are a consentual contract approved by both parties. And in general the employer has the disposable funds to cover the extra pay without having to increases prices on the customers.
Government mandated minimum wages take the consent and the negotiations out of the picture. Now the employee is forced to work for a minimum wage and the employer is forced to pay it, whether they can afford it or not, meaning the employer must raise prices on the customer. Higher prices on the same goods and services means your dollar is worth less that it was the day before, which is inflation.
Have you really never noticed how much more expensive everything gets after a minimum wage increase happens?
@@KurNorock Actually no. I come from a country with miserable wages, where the minimum wage afflicts only thousands od workers. The only trouble is that indirectly the minimum wage Is able to shift the whole income landscape. Because of the inflation, even today the government is reluctant to move the minimum wage, as there is low unemployment and everyone believes that low unemployment and supply shock causes inflation :D
@@truemamrdi4all note imagine if there was NO minimum wage laws in your country. Your government wasn't telling employers what the lowest wage they could pay is. Now that means each employer has to compete for employees with other employers. You get to negotiate your wage instead of being forced to accept a standardized minimum. Imagine how much better off you would be.

The conspiracy theorists generally get a factual point then add up many kinds of artifacts and distortions. Yes, it is true the that US, along with the richest European nations, interfere considerably in every other "third world" country. But these "countries" came to be because of European colonization. There would be no industries, no machinery, no cars, no industrialized food or medication, no electricity, etc. in Africa or Latin America if not for the "first world" colonization. Now, I'm not saying this is good or bad, right or wrong, but just a matter of fact that what most people believe is a normal or decent style of living would be non-existent if not for US and European direct or indirect influence. The problem is that without foreign capital and influence, countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, would have serious drops in technological and industrialized goods. Left-wing politicians in Latin America are like rich rebellious teenage kids who see their parents as just an annoyance but fail to see that it's their parent's work that funds their bratty rich kids lifestyle (when that is the case, obviously). It is common for left-wing/nationalist partisans in Latin America to complain about European or North-American "imperialism" while at the same time making intense use of Facebook, iPhones, medication developed by American and European companies, refrigerators, ovens, tennis shoes, trains, busses, cars, smartphone apps, and several other things that people are completely CLUELESS that come directly from "the imperialists". Now, I have nothing, NOTHING, against people who actually live a more natural life, in the fields, or forests, or whatever, and who are "against the imperialists", but all these naive hypocrites, who are totally dependent on all sorts of machines, chemical substances, urban facilities, banks, etc. to believe that they can continue with this lifestyle without the influence and support from "their daddies"... these people are lame. It is true what the first commenter said, authoritarian governments try to increase power by augmenting their structure, hiring more government workers, increasing their salaries to make them more dependent, facilitating credit to poor segments of society, overall increasing the supply of money, which then increases the buying power of the population to higher rates than the development of the productive structure. These policies also end up transferring money outside the country, because so much of the products bought by the easy credit are provided by multinationals (cars, computers, phones; medication and even food). Many times these big corporations have tax exemptions, government subsidies, that indirectly makes it tougher for national industry development (and that is one factor that nationalists got right, even though it's something that's irreversible in the short term). The end matter is that, for these countries to be "strong nations", independent, they would need to go back in time and develop their technologies and industries and infrastructure independently. But that's somewhat of a paradox, because like I said, decades or even centuries ago, the people who developed technologies and infrastructure in these countries were either foreigners or connected to foreigners (Americans and Europeans). The natives in these countries have more tribal and simpler community cultures. The upper classes in these countries are mostly descendants of Europeans (although there are people from other ethnicity, like arabic or asian, who have risen to wealth due to all kinds of businesses possible by the capitalist structure, all kinds of commerce, services, trickery, etc.). It is a problem that capitalism favors certain types who are mostly viewed as "criminals" (liars, tricksters, defrauders, thieves, traffickers, etc.) but still, creative and industrious types of people, who actually create and develop societies, are mostly NOT natives of Africa and Latin America.

I could watch Milton Friedman for hours. I wish he would still be around to talk some sense into politicians.
Look up the old PBS series he did called, "Free to Choose." At the time, this series had a decent audience as there was no cable TV. And was on PBS! Every administration since LBJ wanted him in theirs. He only worked as an adjunct for the Reagan admin. Point is: His theories were known and he was well known. But politicians and activist who followed the Keynesian economic theories, Socialists or were simply too naive to understand Friedman fought and fought against his theories because that is where they established their base and power. And it still goes on today.

history doesnt repeat but it rhymes. Milton shows us his study and appreciation of history to help understand inflation. I wish our central bankers were made to study financial history prior to being appointed.
Yeah I really liked how he explained different historical examples. Way better than just blaming it on one thing, even though that's kind of what he ended up doing. But I still like his explanation.
Take heed of the lessons of this man. Nobody compares to his financial wisdom, experience, knowledge & foretelling future booms & busts.
“Inflation is not a capitalist phenomenon, it’s not a communist phenomenon, it’s a printing press phenomenon.” -Friedman
Yes, agreed, but political processes control the debate on inflation. This is why the U.S. with some success put control in the hands of bankers (the Federal Reserve) and not politicians (or printing press operators).

This is powerful. Every media and social outlets need to play the video three times a month until everyone understands what’s inflation is all about.
Milton Friedman didn't even understand how the banking system operated. That's why there's half a dozen versions of monetarism all of which failed to match empirical testing. The main fault was the ridiculous notion of targeting the money supply when money was endogenously determined. This video was out of date when it was made - today it's little more than a parody. Most of this video assumes exogenously determined money supply and and endogenously determined cash rate. It simply has no relevance today.

One of the best videos I have seen on KRplus
If this man was here today. Such a wise man
This guy is a little too smart he keeps crushing my ideologies with fact.
Everyone loves arguing with Milton especially when he is not around!
You accepting his arguments shows your own smarts - for only a fool would hold on to his ideological beliefs after they have been laid out and disproven.
@@icmull I gave up after he and Sowell beat me down with facts and observable evidence.
Facts are a stubborn thing.
jjajaja; you mean that you traded one ideology for another?
The genius of Milton Friedman is explaining esoteric economical concepts in a way everyone can understand. After all, as abstract as it may be, economics has a very real impact on our daily lives.
I could not agree with you more.
I love this one probably true aswell
friedman was an ideologue; no different from the marxists he complained so much about; he even resuscitated Hayek and completely distorted adam smith
If someone has made an economic principle sound simple, you can guarantee they have left a lot of important parts out
It's not genius. People mistake charisma for genius every day. That's why successful salesmen have always been the highest paid individuals in America. Friedman was well spoken, amiable, and never spoke down to anyone. And that elevated him to the pinnacle of his profession.
And just to set the record straight, engineering has had a "very real impact on our daily lives". But you can't get two economists to agree on anything, because it is not a science and is underpinned only by human belief.
I just love how at 12:23 - with great confidence - Milton Friedman just stops inflation.
"That beleaguered minority of the population that still smokes" cracked me up LOL 3:00
I wonder how he managed to get permission to film a doco to stop printing money inside a money printing factory..
Well, he is Milton Friedman.
You'd think the fed would have kept him away with a 10 ft. pole.
He's not necessarily against the printing of money. Just the irresponsible printing of it. He had a great respect for the fed, but wouldn't hesitate to point out its flaws.
I was wondering if this was a break for lunch or end of the day and the press needed to be stopped and he did it instead.of the worker
I recall in one video interview, at least, Friedman stated he would like to abolish the fed.
When I was in College we had a brief spate of Runaway Inflation (5 years, 1973-78). It took $1.46 in 1978 to buy what $1.00 bought in 1973! A spate like that today would be horrific and shock those of us too young to remember what it was like. By World Standards our "1970's Inflation" was minor, but in our current economy it would be devastating to many people.
True and that's why it has become almost impossible to make it without 2 or 3 jobs in single family household. But, early on those who did this made out until the economy realized the existence of this second earner and prices started rising to that level. I remember my dad complaining about a $140 mortgage. We today cannot even conceive of mortgage like that.
When I was 7yo in 1973, my dad wanted to buy the old house next door to stop another neighbour buying, knocking down and building 2 new houses there. He had the asking price of $11,700 but it sold for $13,000. Now 45 years later the value has risen to $1.1M. That's an annual average of 11% inflation. And this is normal city outer-suburbia not a beachfront mecca. This is the result of debt and credit becoming the new currency.
Cassette Walkman, also, here's a thought. Who does inflation really hurt, the person borrowing the money to buy an inflating thing or the person lending the money that is losing it's value?
St Gray The lender loses due to inflation
If other countries stop buying USD, USD would already be in hyperinflation.
Really well explained Milton. Inflation is really rate of money printing vs goods+ services.
Excellent primer on a phenomenon that's always with us to one degree or another and one direction or another.
Milton was awarded the Nobel Prize because of his work. He and I share the same Birth Date - 7/31 and although he has passed, his "Free to Chose" will live on as a marker for economics.

Loved his work but be careful to be explicit what he won. It was a separate price in memory of Nobel and not one of the actual Nobel prizes.
Nevertheless, when he assigns inflation to washington alone, his faulty economic assumptions begin to lead him astray. I am willing to discuss why Milton Friedman is wrong with any serious person who is willing to do high-school math.
Remember when you could raise a family with 2 cars, 3 kids, and a 4 bedroom house on a single working mans income? Lol

@@coreymetcalf2498and the unions got fat and corrupt, let the jobs leave the country.
What strikes me is how much more complex things are today than when this video was created. Today most “money” is created as assets/liabilities on banks balance sheet when they extend credit to a counterparty. Similar to how you get a mortgage for a house - that “money” DOES NOT EXIST. Instead it simply shows up as an asset to the bank and a liability on your own personal balance sheet that will be repaid with future your future wages. Again - no money was created, but it allowed you to purchase a real asset. Using the mid 2000s housing bubble as an example when banks were light on diligence and ready to lend to anyone with a pulse this resulted in a housing bubble (financial asset inflation) that fed through to everything else via HELOC and inflated collateral values.
I tend to view inflation as more of a function of the general easing or tightening of financial conditions (which the Fed along with other central banks ATTEMPT to control) that is set by the collective set of lenders/borrowers. Things get much more complicated when you start thinking about shadow banking (a la AIG selling CDS that created billions of dollars worth of liabilities that were ultimately repaid to counter parties with taxpayer funds). Interesting that a former Goldman exec who was in control of the US treasury at the time orchestrated that deal..
An ok video that was maybe relevant at some point in time - but clearly outdated given the explosion in complexity of our financial system.
True. What's even more funny is the fact that there are loopholes to clear this digital debt like Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. So you can get away with bad spending habits and if the court sides with you, you get your debt cleared and the bank is the one that takes the hit. Or are they really taking a hit? Who knows...
Milton is a good read too...I very much enjoy his writings.
Inflation is just another form of taxation. When the government keeps printing money out of thin air the money you got its worth less.. If you want to build wealth your money has to grow faster than inflation. Which is even harder if almost half of what I earn goes to taxes.
Jordan Rodriguez that is predicated upon the excess money flow entering the market place. It has not. Will it? If it does, watch out
the good thing about inflation is it reduces the burden of debt. borrow $100 today and pay it back as 100 less worth dollars tomorrow, what would equal, for arguments sake, $90.
also, it spreads the tax burden among everyone in much the same way as a flat tax would. inflation isn't a problem so much as lack of productivity is.
MyLifeForAuir87 That scenario would be of course in an INTEREST FREE debt.
Not free, but interest low.

We need to get this video trending on youtube's front page. Everyone that sees this needs to hit like, comment, and share. When you watch the news today they act like this is all new, but it isn't. It's taxation without representation.
KRplus would fact check it and label it "misinformation".
Friedman reminds us that true economists, while fascinated by formulae and statistics, view the discipline as a human one. They are students of history, politics, anthropology etc. That seems sorely lacking in the profession today.
Miltie is smiling all through that film because he knows everything he said was no longer applicable to the fascists he so loved. It's a propaganda piece that explains why the working man gets screwed, but not who ultimately benefits, as if it was the government. The only connection is where the money is spent. Big business and government dumped the average person a long time ago.
@@breft3416 Fascist?

Well here in June 2022, this aged well. Once again, DC is spending beyond their means, requiring mass printing of money, driving down the value of the dollars in circulation. This affects only the lower and middle classes because the rich have other forms of investments that are not pegged to the dollar.
Incorrect. The rich in the US have inflation-neutral investments. Mostly because they have so much money that what they're living on is a drop in the bucket of their wealth. Not talking about Bezos. Talking about the millions of people in the top 5 or 10 percent
@@DAG_42 Incorrect, I hold investments that have more than overcome the effects of inflation and the slope of this trend has become even steeper since inflation started accelerating. For example, more people are fleeing blue states and moving to red states to reduce their exposure to inflation.
