Episode notes
Three Faces Of Inflation
- Inflation from money printing shows up as visible price rises, shrinkflation, and hidden quality declines.
- Hidden quality decline fuels health problems like obesity because producers cut ingredient quality to protect margins.
Asset Inflation Fuels Inequality
- Money printing also inflates asset prices because early recipients buy assets, causing speculation and leverage.
- That accelerates wealth inequality between asset owners and non-owners despite nominal wealth increases.
Money Debasement Breaks Families
- Money debasement forces two-income households, reduces fertility and breaks down family structures.
- These demographic shifts worsen pension solvency and increase long-term state burdens.
