we’ve seen this throughout history

2019-01-07 21:27:41 UTC  

Inflation is no good for an economy

2019-01-07 21:27:45 UTC  

Keynesian lies once again

2019-01-07 21:28:41 UTC  

You know there is a reason that double digit inflation hasn't been a thing in a long, long time, right? Because economists realized Friedman was right. So, I agree to an extent. But I still think an economy should be somewhat managed

2019-01-07 21:29:08 UTC  

Even if Keynesianism is the dominant force, economists still recognize Friedman

2019-01-07 21:29:18 UTC  

yes Friedman was wrong on monetary policy

2019-01-07 21:29:37 UTC  

I already assumed you thought so

2019-01-07 21:30:31 UTC  

Double digit inflation is rare yes

2019-01-07 21:30:48 UTC  

Used to be a norm

2019-01-07 21:31:13 UTC  

And in those days imagine how high the taxes were

2019-01-07 21:31:19 UTC  

not imagine but look behind

2019-01-07 21:31:22 UTC  

at time

2019-01-07 21:33:00 UTC  

@Diadochi I don’t know why they don’t recognise the pro free market Friedman

2019-01-07 21:33:13 UTC  

I think the FED however should be abolished

2019-01-07 21:33:25 UTC  

Not only did they cause the ‘29 and ‘08 recessions

2019-01-07 21:33:31 UTC  

They caused almost every one between them

2019-01-07 21:33:46 UTC  

Their cheap credit policies which turn into contractionary policies

2019-01-07 21:35:23 UTC  

So, which recessions did they __not__ cause?

2019-01-07 21:40:17 UTC  

hmm not sure

2019-01-07 21:40:23 UTC  

Probably little ones between

2019-01-07 21:40:50 UTC  

Is it possible for an economy to grow *too* fast if it's completely free market?

2019-01-07 21:48:19 UTC  

Nope

2019-01-07 23:30:09 UTC  
2019-01-07 23:32:10 UTC  

Still I think the question isnt framed so much to deal with economy and economic policy and how it wil be run as far as the idea of the central bank as an idea in and of itself

2019-01-07 23:32:43 UTC  

For me having one that is private is a horrible liability, and it puts control of potentially the entire economy into the hands of someone who can abuse it, manipulate it, etc.

2019-01-07 23:32:55 UTC  

however putting it in the hands of the state does not mean that it wont be corrupt

2019-01-08 12:22:57 UTC

I don't know why people act like they're perfect

2019-01-08 12:26:28 UTC  

And there's sort of a right wing revival

2019-01-08 12:26:29 UTC
