This was fine until we got to the cynicism about politicians. Political institutions are also actors in an economy, and some investments are best handled on a collective level.

[@harrison6082]

I completely agree: Its about making more stuff. Not the money itself. (Assuming its a healthy economy)

The only thing we lose here are resources, which is why we need sustainable development. Money is meaningless without sufficient resources, hence scarcity will occur.

[@WhoIsJohnGaltt]

Scarce resources of what? Wood? Plant more trees. Iron? We’ve barely tapped anything in just the crust The myth of scarce resources is for authoritarians to control us in what they deem “sustainable” when really there is no sustainability problem to be had

Thanks for the video. Just one thing to add: growth is tightly linked to environmental degradation, so we will have to think of different strategies for well-being than to keep pushing 'growth button'. ;)

i have a question about recent cryptocurrency how does mining bitcoin not cause inflation in the economy like in Zimbabwe

[@rolvie]

cause the supply is controlled 6.25 bitcoin per 10 minute which is the time to generate a block and not mass printed like fiat currencies. and also it halves every 4 year , so 2024 , it will be only 3.25 bitcoins per block and so on bitcoin supply are limited. it capped to 21M , 19 million has been mined and 8 million are lost

[@sukrutbhushan4176]

This explanation suits to economies that are internally dependent, I want to know more about how does economically grow through external factors which isn’t explained in this video

[@fly-over1517]

This is a GREAT animated explanation of how the economy works and all the mechanics of it. NOW we need a new animation on how the current COVID19 has collapsed the economy world wide, the mechanics of this are similar, but the ingredients to this are much different than before, this is an unprecedented dilemma we are in, and a much needed explanation would be great for all to view.

[@crystxlzx6442]

Simple, for this online shopping cannot be a things, this video is talking about about trading (buy, shopping ect) so for that you need to give something to someone , If u can't go outside you can't pay the shopkeeper which to you not having food ,and leads to him/her not paying "bills" or tax so that money can't go to the government to be given back to your boss (assuming u can go too work) to give back to you , im not an economist but this is how it looks to me

How do you counter the next statement: "But that (liberating the economy from state regulations) would mean that the private sector could fire employees at will without consequence. People wouldn't be able to get a dismissal compensation after they get fired."

[@davidhohl4539]

It's unsustainable if people have jobs without being able to add value, it risks whole companies. They should have the chance to work where they are needed.

[@tuluppampam]

The video comes off as very anti-socialist and extremely pro-capitalist, even if both systems can work very well A planned economy, following the same principle, can make everything work as well, perhaps even better than a laissez-faire Economic growth is possible only when you start regulating how much people can abuse the work of others (minimum wage, for example, makes a better economy over time, as we can see from history: after the plague in the 1348, the economy became much better because people started getting paid more and could buy more) Without regulations we'd go back to a very simple self sustaining economy like in medieval times

[@jakebailey6285]

I have hunted for a video like this for a long time. It's a great video. But I am still a little mystified. Where would the butcher have gotten the $100 from? I have always assumed that, to develop an economy that uses money, (as opposed to trade by barter), you would kick things off by issuing each individual an amount of money commensurate with the wealth or skill he or she possessed. So in this scenario, each individual would initially have a little money since they all provide valuable services, but some individuals might receive more money than others to reflect the different values of their services.

[@1495978707]

I think people focus on money because you can put numbers to things. Like in a barter economy, how do you quantify the economy? The problem is that when the government is so massive that it causes significant inflation, then the value of money becomes a bad proxy, and out intuition gets all screwed up

so each person in this video comes born with a set of skills and their own guild? how did they develop before this economic trading system?

[@blueweirdo719]

Humans started to become more intelligent and make new discoveries and inventions. But one person can’t do everything. To make it simple each person would have a part to play in this world in order to benefit each other. So each person would be taught how to do their part whether they chose that part or not from what the previous people have learned. That is called a job. Eventually as humans evolved and new discoveries and inventions were made which makes more jobs so all people had to get a job to contribute and benefit themselves. These jobs benefit each other. Some examples of jobs are Doctors, Police, and emergency services all help people from harm. Farmers grow food which we need to stay healthy. Entertainers like actors and comedians make us entertained. There are many more jobs which you probably know of which contribute to the world/country/society/organization/people today. That’s how this system has evolved to today.

[@nicholaskiwanuka4496]

So why don't we advise the govt to burn half the cash in circulation so as to cause deflation and give cash value .Then encourage a general doubling of production in goods ,agriculture and infrastructure so as to create real wealth . China has done this in its economy and they've grown !! . The problem nowadays is many countries hope to in by manipulation of financial instruments like cash,insurance, treasury bonds etc and while this seems to show improvement for a short while it soon proves to be unsustainable . The truth is only production adds real value .This is why the far eastern countries are the only ones still growing

[@monjier]

Nicholas Kiwanuka there is only 1 true way to improve the economy (in my opinion) and that's using the solow model. basically what you want is a golden rule steady state. there are 3 factors to consider here: 1) depreciation of capital, 2) the rate of population growth, and 3) the rate of technology aqcuisition. to achieve a steady state we need to save enough money in the economy to replace depreciated capital, to make more capital to keep capital per person the same as the previous year and also to facilitate the rate of tech aqcuisition. now this is great because these cover the two ways to increase gdp. gdp can increase by population growth (more people = more stuff to consume) and by technology (since chopping a tree with a chain saw is much faster than a hand saw). by having a high enough savings rate we can make sure that there is enough capital to cover these. however, having the highest level of savings or the highlest level of capital will not mean you have the most optimal economy, therefore you want to use the golden rule steady state, which is basically a condition where you use steady state but you also maximise consumption. this give your economy the most optimal level of saving while keeping the people happy enough to enjoy their income. so to have the best gdp per capita you need to focus on technology aqcuisition and to have the largest economy you also want to have a hugh population growth (usually through immigration).

[@ozymandias8523]

@@monjier but the most rich countries per capita are actually small in population

[@monjier]

@@ozymandias8523 precisely. That's exactly what I have said previously. The richest countries per capita are all highly developed (technology development is very high) and consumption is maximised (this makes people happy and gives the best marginal GDP returns when allocating income/resources in an economy). Now, if you're talking about national gdp and who has the biggest economy, you actually need to increase population whilst maintaining savings rates to counteract capital depreciation, technology acquisition and population growth. All these factors combined will net you either the largest per capita income OR the largest GDP in the world. Smaller countries find it easier to acquire technology, meet the necessary savings requirements, and maximise their consumption.

[@wy7128]

@@monjier from where do they get the " means" of consumption in the first place? past savings?

The quality of life of people could be much better when everyone will get free education and opportunities to increase their skills, when the upper classes (Manufacturers) will stop exploiting the lower classes (worker class) to gain profit for their selfish reasons and selfish desires such as living a luxurious life, having a high capital just to show off (capitalism). Quality of life of people will be much better when the profit gained by a company will be equally distributed among everyone according to the skills they have. The government should have a control over everything and there should be good political leaders who will control how the wealth is distributed. There should be no class divisions based on religions, caste, financial condition and income, colour, gender. And that's called as communism and these all things are possible in communism. Worker class controls the government in first step of communism that is socialism and in second step of communism, that is pure communism, there are no class divisions.

And business is not thinking of how to short change the market for their gain. We tried supply side economics, and we saw where that got us.
