Deep dives
Understanding Inflation
Inflation is fundamentally misunderstood as something that can have both positive and negative effects. In reality, printing money is detrimental to the economy, as it does not create wealth but merely shifts financial resources around. Money, as an accounting system, should not be conflated with actual wealth, which consists of valuable resources. The episode emphasizes that inflation, particularly through money printing, leads to greater poverty and economic deceit rather than prosperity.
