Episode notes
Tariffs and Inflation
- George Gammon explains that tariffs alone don't cause sustained inflation.
- Inflation requires increased money supply or credit creation, enabling businesses to pay higher wages without laying off workers.
Quantitative Tightening and M2
- Quantitative tightening (QT) can decrease M2 money supply if treasuries are bought by non-banks.
- If QT stops and bank lending continues, M2 could rise, potentially causing inflation.
Trump vs. Milei
- Gammon argues that Trump, while having good instincts, is ultimately a central planner.
- He contrasts Trump with Javier Milei, who Gammon views as genuinely free market-oriented.
