loads of respect to hear an expert say "i dont know!" there is something to be said for honesty. and then he pivots to what he can deduce. thank you for the interview!
This was one of Prof. Hanke's more comprehensible explanations of his theory. Thanks for asking him the right questions, to pinpoint it. He is just about alone now in still calling for recession by year end, based on his monetary model. Will be watching closely, to see if he is on target, or too old school.
It's Jimmy Connor, thanks for the comment/questions! There is $6 trillion sitting in savings and short term money markets in the US so a lot of money sitting on the sidelines.
Im strugling to understand the contrast between Hanke's shrinking M2 thesis and Michael Howell's increased liquidity thesis. Is it a matter of timing or do they see things completely differently? I think the latter given Hanke thinks rates are too high and cross border capital think the Fed needs to keep rates where they are. I would love to get them together. Both are so smart.
Since there's all these lags shouldn't we include the drastic rise in the m2 before it's slight dip to try to predict future and learn from past? We're not close to the long term M2 trend line, still above it.
Wish someone could explain to me the difference between the money supply (prof. Henke) and liquidity (Michael Howell, Crossborder Capital). Prof Henke is making the case that shrinking money supply always led to recession, but last time it happened was in 1948? Lots of things are different now
Liquidity: the capacity of money to flow between and within sovereign nations, into and out of financial markets. As liquidity operates on financial markets it has impacts on asset prices. M2 has a small impact on liquidity however it mainly impacts the real economy. Liquidity initially affects financial markets which then,in turn, works its way into the real economy. Due to this lag effect you can have a booming stock market while the real economy can be struggling.
@@johnnycactus5140 According to Michael Howell it is mostly debt roll over on a world wide scale. As the world is so heavily in debt approximately 70 trillion dollars every year is allocated to debt roll over. This amount is generated by CBs, hedge funds, and shadow banks.
For the last ten years or so before retirement, I made loans to rehabbers and landlords. I observed that they would attempt just about any project for which they could get financing. From this I inferred that money equals permission to spend. If you earned it, you can spend on what you want whether wisely or not. If you borrowed it, the scope of spending might be limited. In the aggregate, an increase in money supply gives players in society permission to spend. Hence we see the effects which Dr. Hanke describes. That's my take on money as a former lender.
I love the way economists take their competing schools so seriously! They are like adherents of rival religious sects, it's hilarious! But I really do like listening to Prof. Hanke and hope you can get him on again in future episodes. It would be really fun to hear a debate between a monetarist, a Neo - Keynesian, a Post - Keynesian, a Neo - Paleo - Keynesian, an Austrian, a developmental economist such as Ha -Joon Chang, and an economic historian, but only via video conferencing because if they ever came together in person it might end in a blood bath or some poor economist getting burned at the stake. I am surprised the economics departments of the U of Chicago and MIT have not issued mutual anathemas of one another, but maybe it is only a matter of time.
Wrong! Smoot/Hawley was enacted AFTER the Great Depression was already underway! Furthermore, 80 years of research by economic historians has concluded that Smoot/Hawley had very little influence on the subsequent course of the Depression, and of course no influence at all on events that happened BEFORE Smoot/Hawley was passed.
Not trying to be disrespectful but what is the value of the wishy washy analysis presented ? Strong or weak recession end of 2023 or end of 2044 now? 12 mos. or 24 mos. lag but maybe longer this time? I can predict this (eventual recession) without a PHD and 30 graduate assistants with some certainty (subject to change with new data). Another good Fed economist candidate which is why we are in the financial quagmire we are in.
My note on Dr Hanke, is when he advise the president of Ghana concerning the mismanaged economy of this west African country, when he asked (Mr Nana Akuffo Addo,) to not go to the IMF/world bank for a new loan for a ( bailout), for thayt would mean a default on the old loan, which will trigger IMF penalties and fees, which will hurt the country such as lower its forex exchange rate, and cause even more hardship to millions of Ghanians, unnecessarilly but to instead go back and do a self (Austerity) in his country s economy. By freezing further hiring, cutting back on contracts and new goverrnments programs, infact , trimming the excess fat on his countrys economic expenses, which would had been the right thing to do, but Mr Addo foolishly ignored him and went ahead for an IMF bailout loan, which end up collapsing his countrys economy in bigger debt, and hardship with a low were currency value and lower purchasing power for 30 million Ghanians and severe hardship.
sure, commercial banks create the bulk of the currency, but they are enabled by the Fed with things like ZIRP and QE. they are even backstopped with things like BTFP. and it's all funneled to the wealthiest first, then they take it to the Wall St casinos. or at least they did. now, they appear to be switching to gold. they're all quite aware of the pending disaster they've engendered.
Over capacity will be the situation where a country over produces products in order to drive competitors out of business so they can eventually gain Monopoly power. It's not that hard.
Money supply contraction &c. Simply look at the reaction of the people in an ordinary market. When the consumer has less money in his pocket, he can spend less money on the groceries. When the grocer gets less money from the consumer, he must raise his prices to make the same amount of money, or the grocer has less money in his pocket. When the consumer looks at the prices going up, he realizes that he will have less money to spend if he pays the higher prices. When the consumer cuts back, the grocer has to lower his prices, or business stops. When the consumer sees that the inevitable result will be lower prices, he will stop paying the grocer, and "see what happens." Everybody 'wins' with a lose-lose outcome: the consumer eats less, and the grocer goes out of business, and Happy Days are here, for the next generation! What do you think the FED and the banks are afraid of?
"The facts were changed" - The facts didn't change. There were a few of us who were yelling from the roof tops "higher for longer" this whole time so not to have inflation come back but here we are... Bad players pumped the stock market while tricking retail traders and investors that AI technology was the next big thing. Now the big whales have sold off the top and the market is now dropping leaving retail holding the bag again. Also the increase in money supply started way before the pandemic...

In spite of the cunning of art- ful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it. Life, liberty, and property do not exist because mankind have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.
Just love old guys who don't give a crap what everyone else is saying. EVERYBODY is saying rates aren't high enough and cuts aren't coming until 25 or 26. Hanke comes out and says Rates are way too high. Hahaha. He's correct BTW. Rates are getting cut this year. Probably in the next few months.
Don't underestimate the damage the DC clown show will do. Even if it's not working, the feds will probably keep increasing the interest rate to collapse the real estate market. Our gov't has no problem doing the same thing over and over always expecting a different result.
Steve, you are intentionally dismissing the method by which China overproduces. They essentially used slave labor. Yes it’s good for people like you in the wealthy, but what about the working class?
In Finland the so called right wing government just rised value added tax by 1,5. I guess the idea behind is to get inflation up immediately without lag. Altough they say that they only want to get taxflow immediately by this means I think they have the inflation in mind too.

“Change money supply by 10%, you’ll get 10% increase in inflation”, or different percentages for different countries?
Who believes the inflation rate as stated by the government? In my world it seems a lot higher!
It's Jimmy Connor from Wealthion, thanks for the comment and I fully agree! Whatever their number x it by 2 or 3.
In a normal world Janet Yellen would be a janitor in a university!
Yup 😂, wouldn't even let her teach kindergarten now...
It's Jimmy Connor from Wealthion, thanks for the comment! Always good to have a sense of humor!
So, Volcker grew M2 by 6%, in addition to the rate hikes?
Where does the funds rate fall under in Hanke’s monetarist equation?
The rate of change in money supply affects asset prices after long and variable lags.
Changes in asset prices reflexively impact economic growth and inflation after long and variable lags.

does quantative easing increase M2?

It's not that hard.
Would more people in the system soak up money supply?
Wasn’t the YoY M2 contraction 4.5%?
1.8% growth in M2 translates to 0.6% CPI, then, for recession?
The rate of economic growth impacts the money supply - not the other way around.
Not when you use accounting methods to hide printed and borrowed money into earned income like the gov't does.
Steve is the Yoda of the modern economy... listen what the master has to say.. “Inflation is the path to the dark side... the key money supply is"
