Imagine every one have a billion dollar, everybody buys their own private jet but the jet is not enough to meet the demands so they ask for bigger price. After buying the jet nobody can hire a pilot because all pilots are billionaires so you have to pay them more to hire them. In short the value of goods and services stays the same.
it is not real money. It is called fake money. Many countries already did print money like crazy to pay off debt currently and in the past. If they can fix their economy and countries in certain amount of time. Other countries will probably accept their currency at some level as their currency value will rise and other countries monetary investment will get certain benefit from it, else It is just getting worst. Later on, other countries no longer trade with them anymore and stop accept their money as it becomes worthless over time. nobody wants to hold money that continously losing value over time as it is a bad investment.
Printing more money does not necessarily mean there is more cash flow. If the Federal government printed 10000 trillion USD and put it in a bank account, then that money has no chance of causing inflation. You also ignore unemployment, people can be employed to produce more goods thus keeping price level the same. Zimbabwe - land reforms to redistribute resulted in catastrophic supply side losses which resulted in inflation and caused the printing of money. The printing of money was not the catalyst.
Something missing from the explanation of hyperinflation is the decrease in productive capacity. You won’t get hyperinflation without the combination of increased purchasing power with decreased productive capacity. Money loses it’s value when people lose faith that the country will be able to repay their loans. That means you either need some significant decrease in your ability to pay, or you need to print an exorbitant amount of money. In pretty much every instance we have seen of hyperinflation, there is some significant decline in the productive capacity of the nation that accompanies the increased spending.
YAY you are one of the only videos that explains why prices of goods increase when money is printed. Thanks Most others just say that prices go up and I didn't understand why.

Was looking for a more in-depth analysis to "what are the limits of government spending". Perhaps a depiction of selected economies and a comparison of their monetary policies...
The US government prints money, but it has to borrow it from the private Federal Reserve bank to do so. The US does not print money without borrowing it first. This is why paper money says "Federal Reserve Note" on the bill. The Federal Reserve owns the bill, and the US government is borrowing it. It's a promise for the US government to pay back this money it borrowed from the Federal Reserve private bank.
@@shahwalrezalfitri7643 The government just goes into debt, the debt gets bigger, and the government has to pay interest on the money it owes the banking system which is at around 30 trillion right now.
I think people are asking the wrong question, all you need to know why we can't print more money is at 5:30, but the real question nobody wants to ask is: what caused this big a$$ debt of 34 trillions?
Query, 1. if the govt prints money to pay external debt how does that affect money supply in domestic markets? I mean you just pay it for external debt and not distribute to people in domestic markets. 2. The problem with printing money is that it will lead to high demand. If the govt prints more money to boost supply at the same time, won't it solve the problem?
1) what are they doing with that money? Where is it being stored? A lot of countries recieve US dollars as the US runs a trade deficit. They choose to store them in Treasury securities as they get interest 9n the money. 2) you are assuming "printing money" leads to higher demand. If there was exactly 350M people in the US and the govt gave them all $1, would there be inflation? What about $5, $10, $20...etc. when does it cause inflation? It has more to do with productive capacity.
It's not printing more money that's the problem, for government to create money to stimulate it's economy, they have to borrow that money which needs to be paid back plus any interest. This is what affected the likes of Zimbabwe and Germany in the 20's. Government needs to print/create money that doesn't need to be paid back and no interest attached. Abraham Lincoln did it and America's economy prospered. Sadly central banks eventually infiltrated America and was given exclusive power to create debt money that's also tied to interest. Today in the entire world all but a few countries have central banks. Therefore governments can't print/create more money, they can only borrow it and it's the tax payers that have to pay it back. Look at it this way, every time America so calls prints more money, the money they owe gets larger. If they printed the money then no one would be owed that money. It's a trick of words, they didn't print it, they borrowed it.
qustion ik about the hungarian hyper inflation but, i still dont know is it really a good idea and did achive what its purpes , if not how can a goverment be so dumb to print this much money ?
It is very simplistic point of view. In general more money will appear in inflation. But in some specific situations even after big money stimulus we will not observe significantly higher inflation. It is all connected with the specific segments of the market (ex. Financial market/enormous companies) etc. So to sum up, countries can print a lot of money, without causing the inflation. But it is only possible in some very specific scenarios.
every economist just using this example that prices will go high etc. i am not saying to distribute money in public directly or indirectly. However, they can pay their lend, build houses for very very poir people, provide water and electricity to everyone in the country. That’s all why they are not doing that. I believe there will be no inflation at all because of this. I need answer that’s it
Late comer with a “silly” question: in the example of Hungry, why couldn’t the government just print the money and pay the printed money directly to the Russian government without making the money available to the Hungarian public? Is it because when the Russian government wanted to spend the money then it would simply be flooding the world market with Hungarian currency?
Dear Raven, do you have any inputs as to post Covid Era, why stock and capital markets of countries like India are reaching an all time high values, where as the actual economy is dooming.
Because our interest rates are 4% and US's is almost 0%. So money is flowing into countries with two things: 1. Higher interest rates. 2. Stable currency and good/mediocre rating.
You’d have to have a policy that counters the equivalent to printing money. Having a higher interest rate to loan out money would work, as people wouldn’t invest as much, I believe.
Printing money but using it to employ more of the jobs that help society i.e. Medical, Child and Senior Carers which means the people do these jobs because the earn much more than other jobs could ensure that as a society we would be better off.
Hahaha hyperinflation has only happened where there been some serious issue in supply issues. Example war or in Zimbabwe where the kicked out all the white farmers and gave their farms to people who had no idea how to farm. Massive supply shock on food carried on printing money.
Logic if a person is living in the modern world without money then they can't survive and will stave etc etc whether you like it or not unless government steps in to keep you until you die... ..... Tony cuenca
So you mean to say that Venezuela was economically booming that's why inflation became so high? So in every country that food prices are sky rocketing it's because economy is growing? I don't get it.
interesting topic and a good video. in the minute 4:53 . what if the situation is changed. the money is given to productive sector. not given to the consumptive sector or directly to the community. so the printed money to produce more chair. it is like a marshal plan or economic at war. the printed money is to produce something not to buy something. because where is that money come form? if it is not printed. or we still print money but backed by gold or the other precious metal or rare earth. or we can make 2 curency just like china did. china have yuan for international usage and renbimbi for domestic usage
Hyper inflation,shortage of primary needs,the law of supply and demand,overpricing, money is not form of currency but a paper or fiat money, shortage of primary needs,that means if an egg you just buy just only six or seven pesos it will become 100 or 1000 pesos because many people has many money use for buying.
If all that extra money just goes to rich people, that won't cause inflation, since they will spend it on investment goods (which will inflate in price). There's only 1 problem though: housing is both a basic need and an investment good.
Funny. I’m a socialist, and I had to use this video to explain to a self-purported capitalist why doing this will not solve world hunger! He thought (for some reason) that Quantitative Easing was a completely useless tool and that we should instead be using that money to pay for government services.

Not sure ,but to me it seems like most of the money goes into the hands of fewer people, and they don't spend as much as most of the people. So there is a shortage of money. So if we take money from rich and disperse into poor society that will cause economic boom without printing money. Maybe?
Your Definitions are wrong. Money is the best feedback signal to allocate energy and mass in the lease entropic way. Your conclusion are Wrong, everyone should be able to print money to drive it value to its actual value.
My question is if govt print money and engaged in only government expenditure not in freebies scheme of government like giving free money to people instead govt spends money in increase production and giving money for the worker/labourers .so in that case is inflation will be there?
What makes you think that federal dollars spent on "freebies" to people does not increase production? The people receiving those dollars turn around and spend them on goods and services that otherwise would not be produced. Federal spending is not inherently inflationary.
From what I heard from my friends who live in the USA, the prices of food, drinks, and other basic stuff increase on a practically monthly basis by more than 3%. The 3% is a level of inflation. The economy of the USA is falling apart... The 0,001% has access to the 95% of the whole capital of the country, so the government is trying to cover that up, but they are failing. I am so sorry for the average person in the USA because they do not deserve this... However, I hope that the political establishment and the richest ones will die in pure pain because of the all democracy that they spread in the world by destroying other countries and killing millions of people.

What is appropriate ratio of M2 against GDP??
The money and the resources of the world is owed
What if the government print notes and gives them to labourers in return for work like road construction?
That's exactly what government spending us supposeti achieve.
