When deflation occurs 90% of the time nothing bad happens

2019-01-12 22:49:51 UTC  

no it resulted in deflation

2019-01-12 22:49:56 UTC  

It was an effect

2019-01-12 22:50:01 UTC  

Because prices were adjusting to market levels

2019-01-12 22:50:04 UTC  

Which reinforced the depression

2019-01-12 22:50:05 UTC  

after the artificial push up

2019-01-12 22:50:08 UTC  

did nothing

2019-01-12 22:50:14 UTC  

What reinforced it was hoovers interventionism

2019-01-12 22:50:20 UTC  

And FDRs interventionism

2019-01-12 22:50:33 UTC  

deflation was an effect of the depression not a cause

2019-01-12 22:50:54 UTC  

deflation is good as real incomes rise, cheaper to do business etc

2019-01-12 22:51:06 UTC  

Not to mention demand doesn’t run the economy

sorry, old pic

2019-01-12 22:51:33 UTC  

But incomes fall, profits fall, wages fall

2019-01-12 22:51:47 UTC  

Which incentivizes hoarding, which delays recovery

2019-01-12 22:51:54 UTC  

(hoarding of money)

2019-01-12 22:52:04 UTC  

The depression didn’t end there

2019-01-12 22:52:08 UTC  

It continued until the 40s

2019-01-12 22:52:18 UTC  

unemployment was still damn high

2019-01-12 22:52:22 UTC  

Yes

2019-01-12 22:52:29 UTC  

if anything FDR continued it

2019-01-12 22:52:33 UTC  

Alongside Hoover

2019-01-12 22:52:33 UTC  

guys if we had communism

2019-01-12 22:52:36 UTC  

It took the biggest government stimulus in history to end the depression

2019-01-12 22:52:40 UTC  

World War II

2019-01-12 22:52:47 UTC  

They both had the same Keynesian policies

2019-01-12 22:52:52 UTC  

WW2 didn’t end it either

2019-01-12 22:52:59 UTC  

It did though

2019-01-12 22:52:59 UTC  

literally no one would be unemployed

2019-01-12 22:53:00 UTC  

wtf

2019-01-12 22:53:06 UTC  

oof

2019-01-12 22:53:17 UTC  

Incomes fall profits wall wages fall

2019-01-12 22:53:17 UTC  

Just have the government buy everyone as slaves

2019-01-12 22:53:19 UTC  

No

2019-01-12 22:53:22 UTC  

No one unemployment

2019-01-12 22:53:29 UTC  

Because deflation happens due to the natural market forces

2019-01-12 22:53:31 UTC  

Not artificial

2019-01-12 22:53:34 UTC  

which is healthy

2019-01-12 22:53:41 UTC  

Which still causes wages and incomes to fall

2019-01-12 22:53:43 UTC  

“Hoarding”
