I’d say that this is one of the most interesting video by ACCA !

The statement John made about governments being the largest beneficiaries of debt via inflation was eye-opening. Thank you for that nugget.

You make some very valid points. I'm glad I found your video

I did not know about the quality adjustment. That is most interesting since quality, as in robustness, has cratered. Features have increased and computer speed has increased, but the amount of materials go down to cut costs and the lifecycle suffers.

I would believe an 8% annual inflation. It has been largely offset by offshoring for cheaper labor, using less materials, and increasing economy of scale.

There’s a reason the government doesn’t include produce fuel, rent or housing prices in their calculation of inflation. If they did look like it was 20-25%.

I don't understand 1 thing. Let's say, inflation rate is 70% (!), this is by comparing to a year earlier, right? Wouldn't this rate automatically drop with time passing by? Because next year, it has to be increased again 70% for us to be able to say that inflation is still high and around 70%. I don't know if I explained my question clearly. Anybody?

why didn't you accept ACCA in one of the new institutions of Uzbekistan? Business or people are more important to you
