Could someone please confirm my understanding is correct? 1:00: "Interest rate merely express the existing supplies and demand, not the other way round". This means: by right, the interest rate would simply reflect s the money supplies and demands. Artificially adjusting the interest does not really change the fundamental (consumer's) supply and demand.
When demand comes down, so does supply of those products or commodities. People save more and hence that money is available for investments by entrepreneurs into long term investments like building roads, houses, improvements in products, services etc. So when interest rates are low, entrepreneurs get the signal that now is the time to make long term investment as people are saving and not spending. When interest rates rise, entrepreneurs do not undertake investments. So market based interest rates are a signal to the entrepreneur. By artificially creating low interest rates, it is an incentive for the entrepreneur to start investing despite not people not saving money. So when the entrepreneur starts a project, it becomes unfeasible as the there is too much liquidity in the market and the central banks raise the internet rate. This makes the entrepreneurs investments bad or makes it malinvestment to continue further. Thus bringing downturn in the entire economy, leading to recession. Thus, after creating artificial booms with low interest rates, central banks create busts with high interest rates. (And the banks get to repossess real goods and resources by creating money out of thin air)
Modern economies suffer boom-bust cycles the source of which is the operation of land markets (land broadly defined as all of nature and assets with an inelastic supply). Whether money and credit are systemic as well or better described as externalities continues to be the subject to intense debate. Ricardo was on the right track as he developed his "law of rent," if he had only extended his analysis beyond that of agricultural land. The real high rents arise as a claim on production as population growth occurs in cities. As Henry George observed, it is the failure of the community to collect societally-created rents to pay for public goods and services that forces government to tax earned incomes, tax capital goods and tax commerce -- all such taxes imposed serious deadweight losses on economic output while enriching non-producing "rentier" interests. The result is and has been a land market cycle lasting an average 18-21 years going back several hundred years.
It doesn't just "trick" the market. It distorts fundamental incentives & capabilities. Reserves fuel credit creation. Banks compete to drive down rates as to attract borrowers. Credit is now cheap & inflationary. Savings (since they're a liability) are paid less in interest, & are now discouraged because of this inflationary pressure. This cheap credit gets allocated to undemanded/lesser demanded ventures, while at the same time more people are spending instead of saving. Bubbles in the economy form (along with our dependency on them), speculation & volatility increase, our time preference of consumption & production is worsed, inflationary pressure effects every price differently because of relative stickiness (so price signals are distorted), resources are misallocated, real wage growth is hindered because wages are more sticky, inequality increases as asset owners are granted artificial appreciation, & the poor are priced out of the market (forcing them into debt). Especially to buy assets like housing.
@@austinbyrd4164 thats incorrect, if I choose to spend, the money just ends up in someone else’s account, the total supply stays the same whether I keep it or not.
@@austinbyrd4164 the Austrian theory rests on the idea of a natural rate, and how without the fed higher savings would lower rates. That’s just not true unless we are talking about cash. Most savings arent deposited via cash anyway, usually via check, which causes total supply of money in banks to stay the same.
Why was the Central Bank even created for to begin with though? I mean, are there booms and busts in the natural market or why would government interfere?
Booms and busts without the central banks would be very few and not an industry or economy-wide phenomenon. But with the central banks fiddling in the market economy, the entire economy turns into recession and depression with higher booms and lower busts
the only problem i have with this is the assumption that entrepreneurs will make malinvestments when credit is cheap and interest rates are low, well, they make malinvestments all the time, so it is about the quantity of malinvestments?
@@austinbyrd4164 Absolutely not. Human condition is the last part of economic theory left. Humans will repeatedly do stupid things like assume "This time, it's different!" It's never different and malinvestment always leads to economic busts.

This is just completely incorrect. Banks can’t lend out reserves, that also means that more savings doesn’t lower the interest rate.
@Oleg Igoverich never said they do lol. They fuel credit creation.
In a free market under a scarce currency, more savings = lower rates
