Except his is mistaking the order in which all this happens. I live in Brazil and the Government is already kind of doing Cap Day/Financial repression (but not in the sense they weren't able to create inflation before, but the exact opposite, they trying to force banks to buy their bonds and keep rising Household debts without rising interest rates so Debt to GDP don't lead to something like Greece Crisis), and we haven't seen the dollar spike yet and they have already started "smooth" capital control, imaging when the reserve currency comes to collect dollar denominated debts arround the world. So the order is: first junk government bonds goes bust (and there are many gvnmt bonds in the line before dev. Markets ), than you would have Cap Day there, than capital flights to developed markets (that's when the the Dollar milkshake theory reinflates Nasdaq hyperbubble etcetera... But I think there will be a crash first because the velocity of defaults are greater than velocity of money creation/lending rate in post-Corona enviroment) and than the exploding financial market brings back consumption confidence... Which leads to growth and inflation in the US that will have to struggle with higher interest rates and eventually will have to cap it.

This entire, and seemingly interminable argument about inflation will always be an issue of definition. I think the heart of the matter lies with how we define value. Or, rather, the urgent need for all us all to redefine how we grasp the notion of value. We need a new toolkit, new levers to progress both our understanding of economics and how it frames policy. Think of any field of human endeavour making use of axioms that are more than two hundred years old. If a scientist or doctor were to do that we would think it nonsense and call them a lunatic. But economics seems to get a pass. When an economy becomes too top heavy it becomes unstable, and we are watching that play out. The rest is brass on the titanic.

I lived there and i can understand the attraction: well educated, brilliant & hard working population, but the CCP controls everything and they will never let go. Also, China is ultra nationalist, would have I invested in Germany in 1936? shure it was quite attractive, they had a Chancellor who loved order! but... China's rules are not the same, we are only "barbarians" to them.

Everyone is saying no inflation due to the shut down of money velocity by federal mandates to close/limit capacity on businesses. All of that money that the fed just gave away is finding its way into the stock market as there’s literally no other place to spend it.

Lot's of thoughts around the Cap Day discussion. While the Fed can cap rates on long term Treasury bonds, they can't control lending spreads. While we have been in a declining inflation environment for decades, once the trend in inflation turns structurally upwards, I would bet that the inflation component of the lending spread will become a more crucial (and significant) component. Questions include at what level does the Fed cap long term rates? At 1%? If at 2% or higher, could our over-leveraged economy withstand that increase? What would the non-bank financials (who have been driving the increase in the economy's leverage levels) do if inflation really does shoot up to 4%? Would they continue to lend at a level below where they lose purchasing power on their invested capital? And if non-bank financials decide to stop lending (and maybe decide to become gold miners), would commercial banks be able to absorb the trillions of existing debt that will need to be refinanced? Will all commercial banks lend money at a negative real rate, or would they just fold long before their equity value evaporates? Lot's of questions, no easy answers but most certainly a very bumpy road ahead. Thank you for the video, and thank you Mr. Napier for sharing your thoughts.

Inventory is low?? Hope he’s not talking about real estate in Manhattan. Commercial real estate is more than available and so are apartments. Yet prices remain steady.

The premise that inflation will come needs to come with a question. That is, with all the money printing and borrowing going on... will all this come with higher taxes? If it does, then that is a drain on the economy. Additionally, the baby boomers are not spending. That’s deflationary. From the ’street’, it appears that we have monetary inflation, but wage and price deflation. We also have asset inflation when money printing debases the currency, and with zero based interest rates it doesn’t pay having cash, hence there is asset inflation. It could very well be that Biden increases wages, but with household debts so high, even higher wages won’t translate into higher spending. It will be used to pay down debt. Hence my guess is that we are heading into ‘Stagflation’ and not inflation. Allen Greenspan believes that. What do you guys think about that thinking?

Sounds about right, but I am betting on the stagflation being of a highly uneven character. Some industries are going to continue to do very well, like semiconductors and defense. The latter I anticipate will do well because of increasing geopolitical instability amid the standoff b/w China and the US. The former should be obvious, for data centers demand growth as well as high margin 5g smartphones and other luxury electronics. Regarding wages specifically, higher average wages could occur via minimum wage laws but that will drag unemployment further and be harmful to small business, most acutely in less economically developed areas where that minimum price on labor is higher relative to local price levels. This wage policy could also be interpreted as, or genuinely motivated by, an effort to punish political opposition because of the greater economic harm inflicted upon rural areas via unemployment, but I digress; the main point is a vision of a very uneven stagflation where both policy and market factors play a role in driving large disparities.

Debt financed by increasing the monetary base through the Fed or through the commercial banks using the fractional reserve banking system always creates inflation. It is part of the Quantity Theory of Money M * V = P * Y. When asset values go up, it is inflation. When real estate values go up, it is inflation. Even if prices don't go up but stay the same, it is inflation and that is because the natural consequence of an expanding economy is deflation. That is because you are increasing aggregate supply as the economy grows. You need to look at the data from the 19th century in the U.S. It was a century in general of deflation! The only debt that does not create inflation is non-bank loans. If I lend my money to my friend, that does not create inflation. All the rest is inflationary and then is the prelude to a deflationary bust when loans get paid back or go into default . The boom and bust cycles is 100% man made and totally avoidable.
