Greedflation!

Показать описание

Central banks have been struggling to manage this period of persistently high inflation. Whilst many attribute this sticky inflation to workers demanding higher salaries, there is a growing recognition of greedflation, where companies are actually stoking inflation by keeping their profits unnaturally high.

In this video, we'll delve into what greedflation is, explore the evidence supporting this phenomenon, and discuss how this period of elevated profit margins could come to an end, and what that could mean for investors.

Fascinating. There doesn’t seem to be any relativity in the inflationary environment to supermarket pricing. Some items have increased by 10% others by 20, 30, 40, and 50%. It’s price gouging at its worst when consumers are really feeling the pinch. They will get their comeuppance when the consumer is finally on their knees and can no longer afford their greed.

Very informative and true. Greedflation has also caused Shrinkflation! Company greed stems from how they are perceived on Wall Street and do whatever it takes - for instance Buybacks or Layoffs. Some supply issues are even 'staged' - auto industry is an example - why produce more and struggle to sell when you can produce a bit controlled fashion and sell at higher prices! Ultimately the evil is born on Wall Street and common man suffers!

I love your channel because you have sound evidence based economics

Thanks for this interesting article. I have just sent an email to my local UK MP, Lucy Frazer, asking the government to do something about this!

I'll tell you one thing. Kellogg's can get stuffed. They more than doubled the cost of my favorite cereal and I no longer buy it (can still afford though) out of principal. That was 6 months ago.

You should look at the multinational food corporations making crazy profits

The best example of this is gasoline vs petrol price. The barrel of brent is back to 2021 levels, yet gasoline is very much still the same price (at least in Spain, it is roughly 60% more expensive than it used to be pre-pandemic)

Excellent video. The monopolies and near monopolies are one of the main sources of the problem. Regulators permitting every merger and acquisition under the sun is having consequences.

Nice video, a very good understandable explanation of the current cost of living crisis and soaring inflation

Cory Doctorow has had on his pluralistic blog (and elsewhere) on this same topic and also which you mentioned later on with monopolies and monopsonies.

Sir I commend your fiscal and statistical perspicacity.
Presented with flawless and articulate narration. A most perspicuous insight - bravo.

Unfortunately someone has to swallow the additional costs, the question is who?
The average household has a much smaller ‘margin of safety’
The game of pass the parcel will have to end but the consumer cannot hold the bag indefinitely. Return on capital will have to suffer for us investors. I don’t see another solution, though I’d like to hear other options.

Well personally I am not buying anything that involves price gouging if I can avoid it. Here in Oz I have abandoned the overpriced supermarkets for Aldi.
