Inflation and Bubbles and Tulips: Crash Course Economics #7

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
In which Adriene and Jacob teach you about how and why prices rise. Sometimes prices rise as a result of inflation, which is a pretty normal thing for economies to do. We'll talk about how across the board prices rise over time, and how economists track inflation. Bubbles are a pretty normal thing for humans to do. One item, like tulips or beanie babies or houses or tech startups experience a rapid rise in prices. This is often accompanied by speculation, a bunch of outrageous profits, and then a nasty crash when the bubble bursts. People get excited about rising prices, and next thing you know, people are trading their life savings for a tulip bulb

I like Crash Course and I tried to like this but. Economics simply isn't a subject you want to learn from highschool teachers who's true gift is engaging students not the actual field.
If you can engage yourself and want an easier to understand and infinitely deeper. No graphics and terms. Intro to economics -Thomas Sowell's Economics 101-
Written by an actual master of the field. Well don't take my word for it it bluntly put. Makes this look like the Keynesian trash others have called it out for. And all the -Most economist's agree- smiling condescension from these two doesn't makeup for a solid evidence based argument that says otherwise.
Thomas has the balls to say the true thing rather than the PC thing. I don't even have to watch the rest to know they never address the wage Gap. Bet they hide behind -most economist's say- and -it's a difficult issue-
Artificially raise the price (minimum wage) and you get a backlog. Backlog of human capital = unemployment.
Flood the market with stimulus's and prevent losses with bailouts like they support and you prevent business failure exactly as they say the goal is. Preventing businesses from taking damage and possibly being restructured in a bankruptcy -saves-
them from being forced to correct themselves at the expense of the citizens.
This Crash course is great those who want to -feel- like they understand economics. You can learn from anyone online. Do you want to learn the text book from two highschool teachers or learn real, applicable, evidence based economics from a master of the field?
I'm done taking the easy way to the bottom with crash course. It's fun, it's cute, it's very easy. It's very mediocre when it's not that plain wrong. And in the end. It's garbled and more difficult to understand because your are being taught by -teachers- not by masters who deeply understand the subject.

Venezuela inflation, US sanctions also cause inflation. This crash course has avoided all political reasons and government interventions policies to everything happens.
I-m trying to give it the benefit of doubts before reaching the end of the course. Then I-ll go back to every single one to leave comments.

Not letting banks totally off the hook but to be fair -decietful lending practices- is a bit of an oversimplificationm an activist government had a large piece of the pie in that issue as well.

My grandpa actually won his apartment thanks to inflation! He took a loan right before a big inflation happened, which got smaller and smaller until he didn't have to pay to the bank anymore.

Is CPI also how they calculate exchange rates? Ie, the amount a bunch of representative goods cost in one country divided by the amount those goods cost in another country?

Solution to Inflation and most of our Problems is:
GET RID OF THE PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS LIKE THE FEDERAL RESERVE IN THE U. S AND CENTRAL BANKS IN OTHER COUNTRIES!

The tulip bubble was so dumb cos people can literally plant them and make more for almost no cost. Why did anyone think that made sense?
