For those who have red history , the economic evolution of the human societies lead deterministically to a state intervention economic system . A big thank to Mr. Prince . He explained in a very clear way how things are standing today in global economy. He could be an excellent teacher. Congratulations.

This guy's extensive understanding of the complexity of the financial game is impressive. It also reveals why the system is flawed. It shouldn't be that complicated. People should be able to work, save money....that money shouldn't be "trash". Our system is overly financial in nature, and the barrier to entry is just ridiculous. The current game should be shamed.

[@jessejones5191]

@@TheOpinionSports I understand it. It's just too complicated for the average person, and so they are left out of this game. Money should hold it's value.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@jessejones5191 Money holding its value is generally what monetary and fiscal policy is trying to achieve. Overall, it works ok. If you're talking about inflation, then assets like Gold, stock, real estate, bonds hold value better than cash, when there is money printing in excess of actual growth. All of those assets are easily available to retail investors.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@TheOpinionSports It only makes sense with a little bit of background knowledge of the underlying theories. Financial and economic education is something we as a culture could do better at.

[@harrisonswank6106]

It seems like the corona outbreak is going to cause a major crisis from the bottom up-starting with consumers and small businesses struggling to make ends meet and then this will eventually get reflected into the market. I think 08 was the opposite of this because the crisis was mainly attributed to the meltdown and over-leveraged positions held by these huge financial corporations. It started from the top and then eventually affected the consumers and small businesses. The Fed is providing liquidity to the capital markets, but I think the underlying problem is not getting adequately addressed.

[@alexdimopoulos3939]

Towards the end of the interview he basically says that the known American capitalism is over and that the US is entering state capitalism. Of what I understand kind of the sort Japan or China has had. The government decides on which sectors, companies, projects to channel the money to and develop.

[@HVBRSoF]

Yes. That's basically what he's saying. That the U.S. will be more like China, where companies are backed by the state. So yeah, capitalism is ending. He's using all sorts of other words to avoid saying socialism, but that's basically what he's describing.

Canada is a capitalist society with a dose of socialism. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. A combo of both is more ethical than throwing the people that are being treated unjustly under the bus. I don’t know how Americans sleep at night with the kind of unfair social policies that create and target the poor. Canada too could do much better in addressing social ills as well. We need to look to places like Sweden to develop a good education system and a happy population. Just my heartfelt opinion.

[@davidsummit9851]

All the numbers all the charts you look at in America American charts all the data from the matriarchal shift that took place in the mid-60s all the data from then to now shows a horrific downturn for the poor a touch of capitalism in a touch of socialism is Marxism when studying all the data and looking at the destruction of the middle class the massive increase of poverty and the greatest wealth transfer in human history the bailout of 08 and this plan gimmick were in right now one can only think to stop this matriarchal hellhole is to give a child a silver coin pay your bills and gold and silver

[@picalo6477]

Thank you for this insight and information 🙏🏼 Much of it is above my understanding but I am wondering if there is a strategy out there that can take us away from this system, break us free of history repeating itself to continually get us into these types of situations (which seem to worsen each time), and to shift the control of our economies and markets away from the corrupt powers that be, so we can find more balance in our financial futures without the constant threat of corruption or repeated devastation? Individually we are not overly powerful as investors but what about a collective effort on a global scale to somehow bypass the “old” systems while we create a more solid financial structure we can further develop over time as a win/win system instead of always to have BIG winners vs BIG losers (us little guys)? Like I said, I don’t know much but is there such an opportunity for the other 98% to work together right now and shift the control moving forward from here? I’m a single mom, who has worked hard for what little I have been able to invest, I’m afraid to lose what I have, it took my whole life to get here....I’m thinking it would be nice if my children could look forward to a fair chance at building an honest portfolio one day with some certainty in keeping it (or at least controlling their own financial choices) for when they are older and need it.

[@RealRosieRuiz]

SIMPLE: VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS. Drumph and republicans love to juice the economy and give money to the 1% and destroy the middle and working class. All fake capitalism.

I think you missed the point. Covid creating an income problem which means therefore consumption falls and therefore gdp. Yes I agree a crash was being signalled by the inversion of the yield curve however the covid situation has been exacerbated by lack of short term assets (cash due to stock buybacks). Factoring in the hit to personal spending due to the income dilemma and you can see why cash flow becomes problematic for businesses especially if majority of their cash has been used in buybacks

[@MoMoZizi4865]

Great interview. I got lost though in the jump from “monetary stimulus overshoot” and “fiscal stimulus that is not being spent” to “reflation”. It’s clear these two cause asset price inflation.... I got lost as to how these two translate to real economy “reflation”? I think we can all agree that asset price inflation is not the same as inflation in the real economy nor is it reflation in the real economy. So what is the rationale for concluding that extra liquidity and extra fiscal stimulus that is not directed by consumers to spending... how that becomes inflationary or reflationary in the real economy? You had stated that this extra stimulus is not being spent, and spending is what is required to cause reflation in the real economy. So what was the rationale for real economy reflation given these conditions you described? In order for real economy inflation to occur, you need a stable or increasing velocity of money combined with an increase in the monetary base. We see that the velocity of money is and has been in a steady multi decade decline. And you just stated that people are not spending al that stimulus either into the real economy, which means you are expecting the velocity of money to remain low or continue its slide lower. If your assumption about “reflation” in the real economy is that the expansion of the monetary base will be so severe that it outweighs the multi decade velocity of money decline pattern, then at best the impact will be some marginal reflation, not any this severe enough to make investors worried about real inflation or hyperinflation.

@@TheJeffatan The government is basically forced to socialize business losses and give lifelines to zombies because the populace will riot in a prolonged depression.

It will put a lot of people out of work and put the economy in a depression which can last years. No government will survive that without a revolution happening.

Question: Why would the Fed, which is now a political tool, ever be "unwilling or unable" to print more fiat currency BEFORE consumer prices reach chaotic hyperinflation? ... the threat of China cutting off its supply chain (or war) as a reprisal for the destruction in value of their US treasuries holdings? Perhaps. But the breakdown of economic transactions due to hyperinflation may be the only reason for the Fed to stop kicking the can down the road.

"State Capitalism" is the new system that is needed in America now. It is about 70% of the old Capitalism, mixed with 30% of Communism. Don't be too surprised. The main principle is not to keep Capitalism at any cost. The Principle is to have the most appropriate system for each time period, for the well-being of the People. The old Capitalism was good for several generations. But it's pass its used-by date. Continuing would lead to economic collapse. State Capitalism isn't as stable a system. But it is better than other alternatives. But unless US politicians from all sides work together to implement a strategic plan, this current system can't last too long. I.e., prospects are grim.
