@@SmartestDumbGuy In the short term, raising the interest rate an reducing the money supply will bring down inflation. The question is by how much? And also address the supply side; very difficult under current circumstances.
@@murunatan6661 supply is at all time highs for everything. Shortages are from worldwide demand too high of everything. Manufacturing is still crushing it. Profits all time highs. I own commercials properties and all my tennants have never seen such demand in history. I own a national automotive franchise and I have never seen demand this huge. There is a reason our ports were in a traffic jam.
The spending and stimulation helped us avoid a recession caused by the epidemic while also raising the middle class's level of living. The middle class and poor would have fared considerably better during this inflation if better construction had been enacted.
Our approach will be to hike interest rates, which will mostly affect the middle and lower classes. Increased taxes on the rich would be a better approach to remove money from the system and lessen inflation caused by too much money.
This strategy would have a far less impact on the middle class and the impoverished. Still, more than too much money, supply, and demand concerns are to blame for this inflation.
The FED "has not lost control". The economy is doing exactly what it had planned for it to do. We have to be desperate to accept what they have planned for the WORLD--not just the US
The problems are literally, supply constraints. You can lower demand by raising rates until it crashes the economy. Then people will buy less, and prices will come down. But that isn’t necessary. You can also grow more food - for example by replacing cattle with grain. Build or rezone for more homes. Also rent price controls can limit increases. Transportation projects can be built out to lower demand on fuels. Renewable energy has to be built anyway. Doing these things increases supply to better match demand.
Of course raising interest rates at the pace the fed is raising them at wont fix inflation! The markets have figured out that by the time the fed raises rates to " neutral " to cause a real dent in inflation the Fed will have to immediately reverse course and lower the interest rates again to become accommodative again . The markets are going to take full advantage of inflation to line their pockets on the way up and will line their pockets on the way down with cheap borrowed money so its a win win for the market and a lose lose for us the little guy .
It's called catch 22. When inflation already hit double digit the Fed hiked a puny 50 bps. Should have opened with a Big Bang like BOE or Canada's 1%! Don't act too hawkish! And stay controlled on the Sanctions narrative because no businesses would like to be entrapped in midst of nuclear war!!
Stiglitz has never seen a problem that couldn’t be solved with the government paying for stuff, a true Keynsian’s Keynsian. I do think that he’s great at identifying problems just not all that great at solving them.
Well the economic system has been distorted drastically due to the squeezing of wages AND the ridiculously high management rewards. The CEO rates of remuneration are correlated with stock market returns, and they have the motivation then to inflate that artificially by share buy-backs, and cutting costs including wages and pushing people to the limit on productivity. The end of it is the people just don't want to kill themselves to just make a living and so they resign if they possibly can and just live on less. Those that can't have nowhere to go, they are already doing multiple jobs, now with inflation the entire system is absolutely crashing. So don't talk to me about Keynes. That is necessary to mop up the social and economic mess from these distortions, killing off the middle classes and crushing the bottom. We can get away with it for much of the time, but no longer. People are going to start attacking others physically there is going to be a breakdown in the social fabric. This is a reality and it's here now.
We have characteristics from the last four major recessions. From 2020: Lingering covid in China shutting things down, and now a possible monkeypox problem. Other supply chians messed up as well. From 2008: Massive housing problem, as housing prices have skyrocketed purely from speculation, and now mortgage rates have been disproportionately affected by the fedfunds rate hike. Even if the loans aren't as bad, it's still going to crash. From 2000: Extremely overvalued stock market, Shiller PE at 30, and was recently at 37. From 1982: High inflation from oil prices, and fedfund rate hikes in order to lower the inflation but throwing the economy into recession. The labor market hasn't taken a massive hit yet, but I suspect it already has, and when panic buying from expected inflation lowers, there will be mass unemployment and this economy will be thrown into depression.
This is exactly how capitalism works. We’ve known that since the 1830s. Markets are good at creating wealth, but rapid price fluctuations destabilize society. Excess capital tries to create new markets which disrupts existing arrangements. Housing markets and labour markets can be stabilized with a national policy structure. Energy is supposed to be transitioned. And health policy just need to be followed, to be effective. It is only hard to handle, when you give power to people who obstruct anything being done.
@@Rnankn I wouldn't say this is innate in capitalism, these bubbles come from artificial credit expansion via the Fed. The Fed is not a part of capitalism, it is part of the government.
He has no clue how things work. Why are they talking to these people who are non elected representatives? These people want to rule over us. Look into the world economic forums. They want us to have meatless diets by 2030… they want to own all the property. “You will own nothing and be happy”
Supply-Side Interventions alone is not enough to stop inflation given that most of our supply comes from China which is in lock-down as we speak. We need a whole lot more than that and fast Dr. Stiglitz
Not possible and this is my point. You need to be realistic and we're going to destroy the social fabric, continue to reward the super rich and do nothing to help the poor. Something has to give.
I won't dismiss a professor of economics, but wonder why he didn't mention liquidity from the QE. Does America sell oil over seas? Did I miss him talking about American oil prices? Oil prices are just as big of an issue as our supply chain.
Sadly, I don't think this guy has a clue. Paul Krugman also got this whole mess wrong, also a Nobel recipient. Overall inflation is generally a money supply issue. Raising interest rates slows M2 growth. Other than selling assets off the Fed balance sheet, how else can you reduce money supply? Maybe $2.7T in MBS purchases is why housing is up 20%y/y and people's rent is nearly doubling. Every ad I see is for some new REIT. I shorted the housing market a few weeks ago(Puts - SCHH ETF). Up over 200% and it's just beginning. Watch that Lumber to Gold ratio!
This guy can’t give a straight answer to anything that doesn’t revolve around him. “Raising Interest rates won’t create more food” no shit… they’re completely different things. “How do we create solidarity between the elites and the middle class?” “Well we need morre solidarity, or the whole system will fall apart”. Maybe your generation would’ve fell for that bs back in your day old man but times have changed
I wonder if Professor Stiglitz also endorses other supply-side remedies such as allowing the private sector to increase drilling for oil and gas? :). I'm just kidding. For progressive economists like Stiglitz, almost all problems are solved by more and more government "solutions".
@@Thatanonguyintheback And they are making buckets of money now being cautious. But oil before was depressed for many years and even went negative when there was no where to store it. Something the oil drillers want to avoid in future until the necessary infrastructure and guarantees are in place. The contractors working on transportation (oil pipelines) and storage haven't been able to get their permits through so the oil drillers will remain cautious and the government will not be able to provide guarantees.

On defense, China has the largest navy in the world today. They are soon going to be an equal peer military competitor. America can and should try to spend smarter, but that is just a buzz phrase. Military contractors squander money as easily as they breathe. One of the first questions asked in brainstorm sessions is, "assuming unlimited funds, how should we tackle X problem". I am involved in purchasing, those are the questions I hear, at every stage of the design process. Spending smarter won't happen. China is still a threat and close to being a technical equal. What they don't have in quality they make up in low cost and quantity. America needs systems that can destroy the enemy at a 4 to 1 ratio to maintain dominance in the Pacific. Ideally 10 to 1.. but that's everyone's dream.

Exactly! But if you say more than that, it's not acceptable discussion. And some supply side issues are not fixable. Then what? This is why austerity and slamming down interest rates is using a sledgehammer to crush the wrong nut. (I hope this is brief enough for the twits who celebrate not wanting to read anything detailed.)
What he said about defense spending is totally true. Not sure about the validity of his other comments. Inflation is caused by an increase in the money supply, plain and simple.
RAISING INTEREST RATES WAS NEVER ABOUT FIXING INFLATION, IT WAS TO SLOOOW IT DOWN SO IT DOES NOT BECOME HYPER !!!!! USA 9% INFLATION IS HERE FOR ETERNITY !!! 😂🤣😂🤣
This is exactly what happened. Back in the start of December they raised interest rates on credit cards to 30.99%, but that didn't stop me from borrowing money so it didn't work.
Not all geezers, but def this one. Jeremy Grantham called this shit 18 months ago and he's in his 80s. Larry Summers, Jim Rogers, El-Erian and many others.
The question and answer completely missed the mark about inflation: inflation is driven by Powell/Fed and the politicians allowing QE and massive deficit driven spending to go unchecked. Let’s go back to pre-Nixon and balance the federal budget, put execution in place to balance the trade deficit and re-invest in the US worker.
Of course when you rise interest rate to 1%, when inflation is 9%, it won't help. Too little too late, as saying goes. But if interest rate will be in the market, it would fix inflation. And first victim would be stock market, then debt market. Wealthy people just make us believe that would be end of the world. End of _their_ world.

The working assumption is that the Middle Class is more resilient than it actually is. Student loan indebtedness, to consider one vector, is delaying establishment of families and compromising generational wealth transfers.

Raising rates would not solve the issue , yes. However, more normal rates and liquidity under leash would definitely lead money to what is necessary or enable deployment in productive uses rather than asset price bloat ups and alternate avenues such as crypto currencies. Crypto/Blockchain rather than as currency would be the new enabler for Finite assets such as Bonds and fixed income instruments , dematerialization of finite assets such as property ownership rather than as currency where value can be lost by adding few more zeroes. The present state is less of Inflation but more a sudden onset of Paper/fiat money devaluation caused by heedless paper money printing
Very true. This latest inflation has been exacerbated with sanctions rather than real economics. If the markets were allowed to operate freely without the political interference then oil prices can correct more quickly and inflation would lower. Unfortunately, too many people are over leveraged, have their pensions tied to the stock market and any reduction in liquidity and higher borrowing costs would harm these snowflakes.
@@angusm9419 They always choose to fight recession long term and debase the currency. Then there is some remarkable reset either from war (reduces the number of consumers) or where policies are relaxed to allow the market to operate/clear out the mess and then government resumes with currency debasement. In some countries, when the currency loses nearly all its value another currency is introduced and the same happens. Inflation is too hard to control long term. So to stay ahead it is beneficial to hold assets that appreciate faster than inflation and also have productive assets that supply essential products to protect against higher living costs.
He's completely correct about supply being the issue. What he danced around was fact that most of this inflation is being caused by higher energy prices just like it was in the seventy's.
There were shortages on litterally everything from the insane demand. Even shortages on labor. You blame high energy prices? Vehicle sales rocketed 40%.

How is Russia not reliable trade partner if it carried out all of its obligations even when EU's hostile attitude was making it exceedingly difficult to do so? This is just bonkers.
Nor will the purchasing power of the people.(inflation problem) It's a new economic system that won't be needing interest nor purchasing power anymore........... It's a fact. Ask any economist.
I am Russian, so perhaps I am biased, but when he said that Russia is not reliable partner, what exactly he meant? For example Russian gold and foreign currency reserves were confiscated by US, does it make US a reliable trading partner? Russia asked to pay Europeans in roubles, which I guess is a bad thing, because it means they didn't honor a contract but they didn't interrupt supply, just a new payment system, but after you get robbed you could just cut of the supply, which didn't happen. I think a lot of countries now think that US is not a reliable partner, try to store your reserves in US/UK they can get confiscated for any reason.
We saw this coming when we raised the minimum wage. Inflation is the 1% way of passing the buck to someone else and keeping their profits rising. What needs to happen is the 1% should find ways to reinvest in their country instead of just hoarding all the money. We desperately need high speed rail in this country. Yes that would cut a slice of the auto industry but we need to think about our people instead of profits.
This country is insane. Outsourcing everything. In times of crisis the others will not help us by providing vital products & services to us. How can you outsource energy, food, medical products, defense industry products to outside of your country? China is trying to be self sufficient while USA is outsourcing more & more. What happens to the children who are brought up with little or no real skills to produce things? Texting & social media are not skills. Neither is watching TV or trading the stock market.

As an overseas viewer, at 6:51 in the vocast, Professor Stiglitz says that raising interest rates will not bring down inflation. But the Fed is going to do exactly that. This is why economics has the average person in constant turmoil: no one seems to know how to get us out of the fix we're in. Lastly, Professor Stiglitz also says democracy is at risk of collapsing and that the elites and the middle classes will continue to be on opposite sides of the room. I am an artist and not an economist, but what I think no one is taking into account is that our economic system has permanently run out of steam. Capitalism as we know it---according to some sources---says it began in 1694 when The Bank of England issued the first bonds. Does anyone see my point? This means we have been using an economic model suited for 17th century values and over 3 centuries old. It's out-dated and just look around you: everything is out of kilter. The world has moved on. We need an economic system that deals with the blatant and complex and 21st century problems we are facing today---like inequality and recessions and depressions and run-away inflation. These are red flags. I know this will sound like I'm trying to sell a book, but I have invented a system that I would like to compare with the Linux operating system. My book is called The Treatise of Teknomix and it will be published very soon. In it is a very basic idea for an economic model and it needs brilliant minds like Professor Stiglitz to have a look at it and see if there is the grain of a new concept for a new economic system in it. My idea has 90% of the population doing well; the opposite of capitalism. But I'm not an economist and I may not have a good idea.

I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $117k stocck portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?

Did he just suggest that a way to fight inflation is that we need to provide govt childcare and put more mothers to work?
Yes. Spend more money to get families more money to spend on things we don't produce. Pretty sure that's deflationary... right?
Indenturing women and having the state raise children as soulless automatons is a primary goal of the oligarchs. Shattering the family unit has been on the menu for ages.

Lowering interest rates didn't fix deflation either but it didn't stop us doing it and creating a massive asset bubble. You can't argue rates should only go lower. 🤷🏻♂️
I dont think you understand how any of this works.
@@SmartestDumbGuy In the short term, raising the interest rate an reducing the money supply will bring down inflation. The question is by how much? And also address the supply side; very difficult under current circumstances.
@@murunatan6661 supply is at all time highs for everything.
Shortages are from worldwide demand too high of everything. Manufacturing is still crushing it. Profits all time highs.

There is a reason our ports were in a traffic jam.

The spending and stimulation helped us avoid a recession caused by the epidemic while also raising the middle class's level of living. The middle class and poor would have fared considerably better during this inflation if better construction had been enacted.
Our approach will be to hike interest rates, which will mostly affect the middle and lower classes. Increased taxes on the rich would be a better approach to remove money from the system and lessen inflation caused by too much money.
This strategy would have a far less impact on the middle class and the impoverished. Still, more than too much money, supply, and demand concerns are to blame for this inflation.
@Zahair O'Brian Who is this your advisor, I wish to check up on her details on the web with her name.
The FED "has not lost control". The economy is doing exactly what it had planned for it to do. We have to be desperate to accept what they have planned for the WORLD--not just the US
The "stimulation" now gives us $6.00 gas, $10,000 "market adjusted prices" on cars and $600,000 broken townhouses. Was it worth it?
Guy is an fool. Inflation is always a monetary supply problem. The other side world problems don't help also.
The problems are literally, supply constraints. You can lower demand by raising rates until it crashes the economy. Then people will buy less, and prices will come down. But that isn’t necessary. You can also grow more food - for example by replacing cattle with grain. Build or rezone for more homes. Also rent price controls can limit increases. Transportation projects can be built out to lower demand on fuels. Renewable energy has to be built anyway. Doing these things increases supply to better match demand.
@@Rnankn Google: How many Dollars printed in the last 3 years
He's right ✅️ but mostly because they're not really raising rates. They're playing round with 1% rate hikes instead of 15% rate hikes.
~19% real inflation. Anything less than the inflation rate is contributing to a higher yet inflation rate, isn't it?
He's making an extremely good point.
Too much money chasing too few goods. It truly is that simple.
Of course raising interest rates at the pace the fed is raising them at wont fix inflation! The markets have figured out that by the time the fed raises rates to " neutral " to cause a real dent in inflation the Fed will have to immediately reverse course and lower the interest rates again to become accommodative again . The markets are going to take full advantage of inflation to line their pockets on the way up and will line their pockets on the way down with cheap borrowed money so its a win win for the market and a lose lose for us the little guy .
If that's the case, then inflation will surely run away.
Inflation is caused by high energy prices. Allow for oil and natural gas drilling and establish a longer transition plan to renewables.
They already do that. Look at US oil production graph. We produce more than ever in history.
It's called catch 22. When inflation already hit double digit the Fed hiked a puny 50 bps. Should have opened with a Big Bang like BOE or Canada's 1%! Don't act too hawkish! And stay controlled on the Sanctions narrative because no businesses would like to be entrapped in midst of nuclear war!!
Excessive printing of money causes inflation. Always has. Always will.

Stiglitz has never seen a problem that couldn’t be solved with the government paying for stuff, a true Keynsian’s Keynsian. I do think that he’s great at identifying problems just not all that great at solving them.
Thank the lord. That’s the true problem
Well the economic system has been distorted drastically due to the squeezing of wages AND the ridiculously high management rewards. The CEO rates of remuneration are correlated with stock market returns, and they have the motivation then to inflate that artificially by share buy-backs, and cutting costs including wages and pushing people to the limit on productivity. The end of it is the people just don't want to kill themselves to just make a living and so they resign if they possibly can and just live on less. Those that can't have nowhere to go, they are already doing multiple jobs, now with inflation the entire system is absolutely crashing. So don't talk to me about Keynes. That is necessary to mop up the social and economic mess from these distortions, killing off the middle classes and crushing the bottom. We can get away with it for much of the time, but no longer. People are going to start attacking others physically there is going to be a breakdown in the social fabric. This is a reality and it's here now.

This guy wanted to say more, but they interrupted him or changed the subject
We have characteristics from the last four major recessions.
From 2020: Lingering covid in China shutting things down, and now a possible monkeypox problem. Other supply chians messed up as well.
From 2008: Massive housing problem, as housing prices have skyrocketed purely from speculation, and now mortgage rates have been disproportionately affected by the fedfunds rate hike. Even if the loans aren't as bad, it's still going to crash.
From 2000: Extremely overvalued stock market, Shiller PE at 30, and was recently at 37.
From 1982: High inflation from oil prices, and fedfund rate hikes in order to lower the inflation but throwing the economy into recession.
The labor market hasn't taken a massive hit yet, but I suspect it already has, and when panic buying from expected inflation lowers, there will be mass unemployment and this economy will be thrown into depression.
This is exactly how capitalism works. We’ve known that since the 1830s. Markets are good at creating wealth, but rapid price fluctuations destabilize society. Excess capital tries to create new markets which disrupts existing arrangements. Housing markets and labour markets can be stabilized with a national policy structure. Energy is supposed to be transitioned. And health policy just need to be followed, to be effective. It is only hard to handle, when you give power to people who obstruct anything being done.
@@Rnankn Whatever you say is good aside from health policy. Keep those experimental mandates out of it.
@@Rnankn I wouldn't say this is innate in capitalism, these bubbles come from artificial credit expansion via the Fed. The Fed is not a part of capitalism, it is part of the government.

Sadly, I don't think this guy has a clue. Paul Krugman also got this whole mess wrong, also a Nobel recipient. Overall inflation is generally a money supply issue. Raising interest rates slows M2 growth. Other than selling assets off the Fed balance sheet, how else can you reduce money supply?

Listening to Democratic Economist about anything is just a waste of brain power
I wonder if Professor Stiglitz also endorses other supply-side remedies such as allowing the private sector to increase drilling for oil and gas? :). I'm just kidding. For progressive economists like Stiglitz, almost all problems are solved by more and more government "solutions".
The oil sector is sitting on 6000 drilling permits. Kindly f off. All the oil CEO's on this channel repeat not increasing CAPEX and production.
@@Thatanonguyintheback And they are making buckets of money now being cautious. But oil before was depressed for many years and even went negative when there was no where to store it. Something the oil drillers want to avoid in future until the necessary infrastructure and guarantees are in place.
The contractors working on transportation (oil pipelines) and storage haven't been able to get their permits through so the oil drillers will remain cautious and the government will not be able to provide guarantees.
Government is God to the left… Any and every problem? More government and taxes!!

Stiglitzito had lost it a long time ago. He now wades off into the weeds à la Noah Chum-sky.
On defense, China has the largest navy in the world today. They are soon going to be an equal peer military competitor. America can and should try to spend smarter, but that is just a buzz phrase. Military contractors squander money as easily as they breathe. One of the first questions asked in brainstorm sessions is, "assuming unlimited funds, how should we tackle X problem". I am involved in purchasing, those are the questions I hear, at every stage of the design process. Spending smarter won't happen. China is still a threat and close to being a technical equal. What they don't have in quality they make up in low cost and quantity. America needs systems that can destroy the enemy at a 4 to 1 ratio to maintain dominance in the Pacific. Ideally 10 to 1.. but that's everyone's dream.

Oh, it's interesting to hear this again, now in mid-June... I think JS's point is that we need to fix the supply-side issues ASAP.
Exactly! But if you say more than that, it's not acceptable discussion. And some supply side issues are not fixable. Then what? This is why austerity and slamming down interest rates is using a sledgehammer to crush the wrong nut. (I hope this is brief enough for the twits who celebrate not wanting to read anything detailed.)
Totally agree!, raising interest rates is not going to create more food OR kill demand for food. They are completely off-target.
The way to fix inflation is to produce more oil and use profits to pay down debt.
What he said about defense spending is totally true. Not sure about the validity of his other comments. Inflation is caused by an increase in the money supply, plain and simple.

Let’s go back to pre-Nixon and balance the federal budget, put execution in place to balance the trade deficit and re-invest in the US worker.
Of course when you rise interest rate to 1%, when inflation is 9%, it won't help.

Raising rates would not solve the issue , yes. However, more normal rates and liquidity under leash would definitely lead money to what is necessary or enable deployment in productive uses rather than asset price bloat ups and alternate avenues such as crypto currencies. Crypto/Blockchain rather than as currency would be the new enabler for Finite assets such as Bonds and fixed income instruments , dematerialization of finite assets such as property ownership rather than as currency where value can be lost by adding few more zeroes.

"Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. "

Very true. This latest inflation has been exacerbated with sanctions rather than real economics. If the markets were allowed to operate freely without the political interference then oil prices can correct more quickly and inflation would lower.
Unfortunately, too many people are over leveraged, have their pensions tied to the stock market and any reduction in liquidity and higher borrowing costs would harm these snowflakes.

In some countries, when the currency loses nearly all its value another currency is introduced and the same happens. Inflation is too hard to control long term.

The constellation of factors is ruptural, so monetary policy requires very special political and economic reinforcements.
Nor will the purchasing power of the people.(inflation problem)
It's a new economic system that won't be needing interest
nor purchasing power anymore...........
It's a fact. Ask any economist.
I am Russian, so perhaps I am biased, but when he said that Russia is not reliable partner, what exactly he meant? For example Russian gold and foreign currency reserves were confiscated by US, does it make US a reliable trading partner? Russia asked to pay Europeans in roubles, which I guess is a bad thing, because it means they didn't honor a contract but they didn't interrupt supply, just a new payment system, but after you get robbed you could just cut of the supply, which didn't happen. I think a lot of countries now think that US is not a reliable partner, try to store your reserves in US/UK they can get confiscated for any reason.
We saw this coming when we raised the minimum wage. Inflation is the 1% way of passing the buck to someone else and keeping their profits rising. What needs to happen is the 1% should find ways to reinvest in their country instead of just hoarding all the money. We desperately need high speed rail in this country. Yes that would cut a slice of the auto industry but we need to think about our people instead of profits.

I would have been commenting on rather another Stieglitz Joseph intervention: the lecture on the China success, that he had done in 2016 in the Norwegian business School, rather than to this video. Because much of what every country should do to reform its economic system is exposed in that lecture , including the question of the financial system reform: interests rate, inflation and so on ...
It's not interest rates that needs to go up but money printing has to stop or what happened in Germany before WWII will happen in the western economies.

As an overseas viewer, at 6:51 in the vocast, Professor Stiglitz says that raising interest rates will not bring down inflation. But the Fed is going to do exactly that. This is why economics has the average person in constant turmoil: no one seems to know how to get us out of the fix we're in. Lastly, Professor Stiglitz also says democracy is at risk of collapsing and that the elites and the middle classes will continue to be on opposite sides of the room. I am an artist and not an economist, but what I think no one is taking into account is that our economic system has permanently run out of steam. Capitalism as we know it---according to some sources---says it began in 1694 when The Bank of England issued the first bonds. Does anyone see my point? This means we have been using an economic model suited for 17th century values and over 3 centuries old. It's out-dated and just look around you: everything is out of kilter. The world has moved on. We need an economic system that deals with the blatant and complex and 21st century problems we are facing today---like inequality and recessions and depressions and run-away inflation. These are red flags. I know this will sound like I'm trying to sell a book, but I have invented a system that I would like to compare with the Linux operating system. My book is called The Treatise of Teknomix and it will be published very soon. In it is a very basic idea for an economic model and it needs brilliant minds like Professor Stiglitz to have a look at it and see if there is the grain of a new concept for a new economic system in it. My idea has 90% of the population doing well; the opposite of capitalism. But I'm not an economist and I may not have a good idea.
