High Street Inflation and Monetary Inflation

In this podcast episode, the speaker discusses the distinction between high street inflation and monetary inflation. High street inflation consists of cost inflation and monetary inflation, which includes the depreciation of credit or paper money. However, the speaker argues that high street inflation is likely to decrease in 2024 due to the supply adjustment following the COVID crisis. On the other hand, monetary inflation is increasing due to the fiscal dominance of governments and the expansion of central bank balance sheets. To mitigate the effects of monetary inflation, the speaker recommends investing in monetary inflation hedges, such as gold and crypto assets.
