This recession is most likely the result of an external factor. For the first time in decades, the United States is losing its clout as a federal reserve currency. They don't have any more economies to use to control inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than in the past. They all lend support to the idea that a new multilateral world order is in the works.>

Inflation is taxation without legislation.

[Lord.Kiltridge]

During times of inflation, debt is king, because the value or cost of the debt goes down. During deflation, debt is death, because the value of the debt is growing. Who is the country's greatest debtor? Government. This is why governments will do ANYTHING to avoid deflation.

It's always funny how they talk about printing more money like it's just gonna be throw out of air planes for People to get and stimulate the economy

[latoyalaville]

That’s crazy how money is given value because of us literally 🤦🏾‍♀️

I still don't understand this, and I hate that everything is getting more expensive (like groceries, movie tickets [somewhat trivial, but still relevant], and housing) while wages remain relatively stagnant. Maybe the system is just broken and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up

I'm a chemical engineer so whenever I try to learn about economics I instinctively conseptualise it as a chemical process. From the little I've been able to make sense of so far, our financial institutions are the equivalent of legacy operators trying to manage an incredibly convoluted and poorly designed plant with very few levers for process control, and only a vague understanding of the process itself. My advice would be decommissioning.

Higher prices for goods and services means the general public must work more hours to maintain their living standards which means higher productivity for business activity that can promote higher consumer activity thus higher demand for goods and services eventually pushing higher inflation rates and higher prices again for goods and services. Inflation is just a vicious cycle where we run around in a hamster wheel chasing an illusion of financial security. No wonder work-life balance is non-existent in the 21st century. Employment is just a life sentence of obedience, extortion, and involuntary silence only to earn the privilege to participate in the corrupted world of economics and money mechanics. An economy can still be productive and have business and consumer activity without having inflation. Japan is a case study where it is still a productive economy with business and consumer activity and it has deflation or stagflation. Resources are still available and reasonably priced. It is just that the tool we use to exchange goods and services, aka paper money (bank note), has eroded in its purpose of retaining its intrinsic or representative value.
