Opposing Views on the Role of Government and the Essence of Money (w/Michael Green & Peter Schiff)

Mike Green, portfolio manager and chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, and Peter Schiff, chief economist and global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital, sit down with Real Vision's king of neutrality, Ash Bennington, for a debate on the merits of MMT vs Austrian Economics, other questions around what the defining characteristics of good money actually are, and whether we will finally see the inflation that many have been calling for. Schiff and Green will also discuss their outlooks for various asset classes given their differing views on inflation, monetary policy, and the role of government. Filmed on April 22, 2021

He rolled his eyes a few times but I'm sure even he would be surprised at the amount of broad consensus.

Singapore and Hong Kong only have limited natural resources and land available but are still more prosperous than Venezuela which is a way bigger country and sits on the biggest oil reserves in the world.

@@maaa_aaate7707 the fed will put the smaller commericial banks out of business with the fed coin. Peter knows all this did you just learn about fractional reserve lending 2 youtube videos ago?

[@fusion9619]

@@mikebrown2867 wellll... I agree, but it a little bit more complicated. Your basic econ course assumes that all money is out in circulation, like actually changing hands physically. In reality, it's mostly in banks, and banks do some things that distort that ideal scenario. Giving out loans for big ticket things like property or business expansion accelerates velocity and expands money supply ; buying government bonds as part of a de-risking obligation reduces money supply. The availability of credit for expensive purchases causes expensive things to increase in price faster than the basic consumer stuff. So if monetary policy eases and banks are making more loans cheaper, ie MS increased, then the rich get richer without doing anything because they own the most expensive things. Ah, edit cuz now I can see - the point I originally wanted to make was that there may be some wiggle room to inflate money without inflating prices because banks trade a chunk of excess cash for bonds. There may be further wiggle room because rich people can't (or won't) consume all of the value accrued to their assets via inflation. Yes, it's an unfair system.

[@chad2831]

@Ryan z i suggest you read richard werners paper “can banks individually create money out of nothing?” . you will then learn fractional reserve banking never was an actual banking practice. one youtube video ago.

[@jakemeadows3478]

Yes, exactly, Green failed to understand this. Our prices would be falling by about 10-15% per year if we weren't printing. This has masked some of the effects of this inflation, and left everyone scratching their heads as to why wealth inequality is so extreme.

[@nerdynerd0]

Nobody wants to pay more than they have to whether they have more money or not. Supply chain constraint has everything to do with a naturally formed inflation. Every other inflation is artificially formed for the benefit of someone or entity.

[@ronniebine1325]

Have you ever noticed this is common among some of the smartest people? For example take Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Ray Dalio, Warren Buffet and many more. How to make money in investing? A: Sort a sound business that has resistance to any competition or price fluctuations, take a tight position and watch your wealth getting compounded over a period of time. Why do we need electric cars? A: Natural resources are subject to limitations so we need better alternatives. All of them seems to have a tight grapse in fundamentals. They are more easy to understand. Where on the other side, i find those who don't have any stickiness in fundamentals are harder to understand. They just randomly spilt out a bunch of unrelated data that doesn't even connect to anything at the end. Distracted by the randomness of information which doesn't co-relate to anything more often, they are more prone to be on the wrong side.

I actually think Mike Green is great despite this debate. Peter definitely came out on top but don't sleep on Mike either!

[@AndyGraceMedia]

Agree and full marks for debating him. For two diametrically opposed men, they sure agreed on a lot of stuff, even if their interpretations of the historical record were vastly different. This is why 'facts' appear to be inviolate but are still partially subjective as any recounting of detail is subject to the interpretation of whoever's reporting it. When you add your own subjective analysis of initial conditions and actions contributing to the supposed 'fact' you have to conclude the entire discipline of economics is close to useless for predicting just about anything.

[@winstonw2020]

This was a great conversation. Both guests were extremely informative. Peter was on game in this one. Very impressive.

Not easy given the strong personalities that were squared off.

[@wasdwasdedsf]

of course, hes a marxist, authoritarian apologist

[@saratogapilot6100]

I can tell that neither of these guys have actually read Von Mises' "The Theory of Money & Credit." If they had, they would recognize that credit money, currency and basis or "hard" money have three different use cases and can be three different forms or denominations of money. By minting gold coinage, gold can be both a basis money and a currency, but gold can never be debt money (aka credit money) that expands and contracts in response to the demand for credit to fund growth.

I'm no economist but I do know all the basics and I do have to say Peter really did a great job presenting his historical knowledge. Green did a brilliant attempt but was just overshadowed. Think Green started on a bad foot and should have presented his view rather than constantly try to disagree and find faults in Peters argument. Think this is what Peter is so good at because he doesnt tell you explicitly when he is disagreeing but you know he is and he quickly brings it to his point. Definitely a better orator
