This professor might have got his inflation call correct. But he lives in La La Land concerning a lot of other issues
How in the world are workers going to demand a pay rise equal to inflation. When the governments official inflation number is completely fake!!!
All the negotiation in the world could only get an employee at maximum 9%. But the 9% is not real. The real rate of inflation is at least 15%or maybe 20%
Finland is not part of Scandinavia, but of the Nordic Alliance.
Hankey Pankey
he doesn't blink
I don't get the excitement about the the remark the inflation peaked! The common man in the street doesn't feel relief. With Quarterly gdp coming out at the end of July. If that is bad companies are going raise prices for goods. So that means getting less for the same amount of money. In 1971 the first MC Donalds, in all of Europe, was opened at Zaandam the Netherlands. We had our own Dutch currency de gulden back then. The Euro we got in 2002. A burger was 75 cents, Fries 40 cents, Coffee 50 cents and MC Donald mayonaise sauce 20 cents. A hamburger today costs €1,- In 2002 1 Euro was exchanged for 2,2 gulden. That should at least have been 2,4 gulden. But hé, goverments like to screw us over.
USA is a weird place..
Thank you David for 50% less interaptions of this particular guest compared to last interview with him 😀 it is now "viewable" Thank you.
If you want to go to Sweden to see swedes you better hurry up.
The immigration is at warp speed level, and then the immigrants out breed the swedes who by them selves are decreasing in numbers.
Has he been correct just this time over inflation or has he been correct for several decades?
Talk about "toot your own horn"
He's his own biggest fan!
No recession because of M2 growth????
Stay in academics
The happiness index in sweden. If half the population can do whatever, as they are paid regardless of their quality or type of work they perform, of course they are happy.
However the results are skewed because swedes are prescribed massive amounts of happy pills, boner pills, and every other mood stabilizing pill out there. The results are given by drug addicts.
let these fancy stuff out: bigmac etc
Your strength is to GET answers. Do more of that, drill into why and how they get to their results.
Btw the gold forecast guy you treated like he has the right to say any prediction without justifying how he gets there.
Wow, I got to 27:10 and realized how ignorant Hanke is. Sweden is 100 percent diversity -every aspect of it.
Get out of the models and welcome to travel.
Printing money always rises inflation how could he be the only one who guessed that, when it always happens like that?
IM READU FOR SOME HANKE PANKY
"Price of zero implies that the cost is zero" very well said Prof Hanke
Inflation is relative, Costco's soda-dog is absoulte
Haha Steve and David are always a fun duo to watch with dry humor
Living here in Sweden, there was a development curve going wery well, untill the main politicians got called in to the Bilderberg meetings. The main politics have since been inforced to conform with the agenda of WEF, agenda 2030 etc. And now from being the safest country in Europe, we have almost the highest murder rates in Europe. All in sync with the agenda of destroing democracy, in lieu for a future new ”safe” global central controlled govt.
30:30 there is some explanation missing. the equation is MV=PY but he is talking about plus/minus.
He must be using a differential (change in value) version of the equation
Sweden is rich in iron ore, they can export iron ore and pay for their socialism. Germans did all the job for them, they only needed to collect money.
MV=PY. If you solve for M it’s M=PY/V. Not -V when you move it on the other side like Hanke suggested. How could he make such a big mistake?
Hanke is good but he is still a gold bug and will miss the bitcoin and crypto revolution!
The Spanish Socialist/Communist government is so useless, they pretend to do everything they can to help fight inflation but for the last two years the government hasn’t stopped hiking taxes, bunch of hypocrites
Dealing with Steve is like herding cats
Always listen to folks with experience! The young laugh and say they are out of touch but history always repeats. The bitcoin generation has no clue that they are buying a worthless asset. Its hapenned in human history before.
I am not even a college graduate and I get it!! Great and lots of fun interview 👍 Thanks
Scary that David so immature he asks why something can't be free. Sad a lot of American youth never taught about economics. That is why so many invested in ponzi's like the now BK cryptos.
"Happy" countries like the Scandinavian countries and Japan have high IQ scores in common. Watch that "happiest countries in the world" metric tank as the younger generation becomes the majority (mass immigration, average IQ 10-20 points lower, several hundred percent increase in sexual assaults). The US used to be the happiest country in the world. Then it's population was plunged into "culture war", average IQ plummeted, and we spend more of our time protecting our family members from tribal activists than on creative pursuits.
Good that someone finally explains we have it better today then 30 years ago. So tired of entitled people thinking they should afford a house when they are 30 as there parents did. Which didn't have all the other stuff you now have today. Living standards have gone up not down, stop being a puxsy.
Prof Hanke is a legend in his own lunchtime 🙄
Its a depression we’re in right now 70 percent of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings. Millions will go homeless after this collapse. Economists seem to only look at the stock market. Look at the real world there’s 1M homeless children in America 700K adults. 40M people live in poverty. We’re losing 240K jobs a week. 50M people are on food stamps that’s like 50M people standing in breadlines and soup kitchens across America but we don’t see that they get a EBT card it’s made Discreetly that’s like a million people per state.
Strange that he could get inflation prediction right by locking at the money supply. He did not now about Russias war on Ukraine that has driven up energi prices an food prices all over the world…..was he just lucky?
Steve hanke! My guy! Put a period towards your sentences! He's thoughts are elderly man.
Free University?
900b Military Budget…
In Germany there will be a 300 EUR energy relief payment but that amount will be taxed. Thats our free lunch.
Steve Hanke is too polite to those left wing fascination.. can’t even know whether the host is playing dumb or not..
And still price increases is not the same as inflation! And QE still does not get into the real economy!
In 1955 that $.65 that bought the chicken contain two silver Washington quarters,, today on eBay those 2/4 silver quarters would be worth about $13,, so in fact a good point to make is you could still use those 2/4 to buy a whole chicken over 60 years later silver held its purchasing power
Higher demand (population) and reduced supply (natural and man made) are being overlooked? This is in addition to the reckless money printing. 6% seems optimistic
"In Sweden you only see Swede's", clearly Steve Hanke hasn't been to Sweden.
