Why Have Central Banks Misread the Inflation Story? w/ Charles Goodhart
มุมมอง 9612 ปีที่แล้ว
For many months central bankers have been calling inflation ‘transitory’ and insisting it is only caused by temporary pandemic pressures. Today with CPI inflation at 5.4% there is an increasing acceptance that the Bank of England and other central banks have badly misread the situation and now they are rushing to raise interest rates to prevent a wage price spiral. In this talk, Charles Goodhar...

    Economics was not prioritised as highly as it is now, in the past. Economic theory was always the means to fund projects and infrastructure that benefited a specific nation. A nation's people, and their prosperity was it's purpose. Currently it is being used to justify greed and pulls the efforts from nations to benefit individuals outside the national interest. Environment, health and scientific progression is being sidelined in order to continue an obsessive act of watching a number go up. This number has no correlation to the flourishing of people.

    When it comes to the math derivation that derivation is only correct if w times L / Y is constant. Otherwise, the integration step is wrong, as alpha depends on time. Also, when you integrate you add a constant C, which after you get rid of the logarithm will become multiplication by C.

    The speaker might have confused neoclassical economics with neoliberalism interpretation. Another problem is that his emphasis on dynamics might be a misunderstanding about the purposes of neoclassical economics. The objective here is not to predict but rather to see what happens if certain assumptions can lead to meaningful results, which might have practical policy implications.

      @@camcorl7921 Firstly all of the designated official money is fiat money and it is connected in the economy and all money only has value because it is accepted by others as a means of comparing values of goods and services. No goods and services means no value to the money. Wealth is not money but money itself merely is a means of comparing wealth and transferring that measure to another entity or saving that measurement for the future. There is no credibility in believing that one entity in the economy has any exclusive innate ability to create wealth more than any other. For instance creating a situation be it by law in which one entity has a legal right that is forbidden to others does not create wealth. All it does is enable wealth to be reallocated. If you want to learn more about the economy than refer to the work of Prof. Stephen Hanke of Johns Hopkins University because he has a very good handle on how the economy works and has worked over time.

      No arguments, only insults. He and others, similar to him proved economics wrong. You believe nonsense that has no bearing to reality. Empirical evidence shows the exact opposite from the nonsense in which you believe in. Of course, if you cared about evidence and logic you would have changed your stance a long time ago. You pretend to believe in supply and demand nonsense because you want to believe in it, you don't care about evidence not a tiny bit. Economics is not science, it is pure mythology and propaganda. Try doing physics with the same rigor economics or psychology is done and you would be laughed out of the room.

      That is because economics is a subdiscipline of political economy, which is a subdiscipline of moral philosophy. Mainstream economics cast aside the most basic observation by their predecessors; namely, that nature (i.e., the factor "land") is not produced by humans and does not respond to what economists refer to as "the price mechanism" in the same way as does labor and capital goods. This was brought out by the American political economist Henry George in the late 19th century.

    @42:30 (and relevant to the tax question @1:05:00) note that war bonds did not really significantly provide the fiscal space for war spending. In the UK in particular it was rationing that was the main inflation control. Likewise today in getting green energy infrastructure up and running governments will not need to sell green bonds, they could, but it is regressive, since it hands out free money (interest) to only those who can afford to purchase bonds in the first place. It will be more progressive to ration "use of carbon" (e.g., concrete, air travel, high NCE foods) and the more polluting forms of energy generation, and impose the rationing inversely to incomes. If only there will be the political will.

    @22:00 Blanchard is even wrong about his "long slog." Modelling the real economy as distortions to a "completely competitive" economy is a bogus notion which suggests classical _physics envy._ (Physicists use perturbation theory in QFT because they have no other viable option.) But the physicist is perturbing a zeroeth order linear system. What's the correct analogy in macroeconomics? It is not a perfect competition system! In economics the zeroeth order is in fact a perfectly fair (non-competitive) system with trade parity, cooperation and everyone spending all their income. The non-linear distortions are _adding in competition,_ equity imbalances, trade imbalances, savings leakages, wealth imbalances and the rest.

    Shall I have the following argument? The interest rate reflects the cost of capital (and growth opportunity), right? Following this logic, for example, if the government is facing the problem of paying back debt, it would mean the economy lacks growth opportunities. The lower growth opportunity would in turn mean a lower cost of capital or a lower interest rate. Then it's actually hard for the government to have debt concerns. Thinking of the sovereign debt problem in a static framework may be misleading.
