turnip@sh.itjust.workstoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•I'm not sure that this is truly so unpopular.English2·20 days agoThats our monetary policy. People must consume more every year to create more inflation, as technology actively reduces the price of goods.
If goods get cheaper we have deflation, they create more money supply via lower interest rates, and the price of inelastic shelter gets bid up, and asset holders receive a value windfall until prices rise. Which is why we are at a higher price to income ratio than 2007.
People born closer to the gold standard are richer, they got in when currency wasnt tethered to consumption.

I think Clinton had the end of the Soviets which I am not counting.
Though if you asked these people if they felt they should have higher taxes to pay for it, due to aging demographics and higher borrowing rates, they would say no as well. So what do you do?

Food is a weird one. I’ve heard it wasn’t just lobbyists but an attempt to drop inflation, by prioritizing low input foods over high input foods.

The system is setup to prevent deflation.
Is fiat better?
We drop interest rates in order to spurn more consumption, to hit an inflation target as technology lowers the price of goods, what would you call that?

turnip@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was a fact taught to you in school that has been proven false during your lifetime?English12·1 month agoDid we conclude that, I thought its still heavily debated.
Some argue in the 50s and 60s the US was spending Europe’s gold to build highways and infrastructure, gifting Americans the wealth with a continuation of the new deal, they then defaulted in 1971 as inflation eroded foreign debt owed.
Some feel some form of debt accrual is how we derive such a consumption focused standard of living, which is misallocated capital that ends in someone holding the bag when it can’t realistically be paid back, or when population doesn’t grow fast enough like in Japan or most of the developed countries.
