    I love these kinds of videos. I've read the book myself and can say it is a wonderful eye opener that anyone can read and understand. Hopefully this video helps others understand you can't tax and/or spend your way into prosperity.

    Great book... highly recommended. 7:29 is where you got it wrong: A healthy economy can have a service sector. Early hollywood (and current) is a good example. The fact that the economy was so healthy that you could get paid to pretend to be a character just for entertainment, is mind boggling. When "fish" are so cheap you can start entertaining the rich. Cleaning their homes. Produce skateboard videos... fucking skateboard videos is a real thing. It's mad. Giving cooking lessons is a thing... Not looking for food all day... actually getting paid by people to show them how to cook their piles and piles of food. That's what inventions and automation and a free economy lead to. We all have enough money and free time to pay someone to teach you yoga poses. Something that's absolutely insane to a third world or second world country.

    Good effort but this goes over too many topics too quickly for the layman to understand. Jumps straight from fishes to money. Should emphasis that money is a derivative of risk taking, sacrafic, and savings. Peter does a better job explaining in the book.

    Peter doesn't value services. But services like Google Cloud or Netflix are also a valuable thing. I like Peter Schiff but it doesn't mean that I agree with all he says. USA specialize in exports of weapons, aircrafts, agricultural products, movies and software products.

    • @ozymandias8523
      @ozymandias8523 3 года назад

      I think the focus should be that what makes an economy grow is the industrial production of a nation and not the services(although they are very comfortable to use) like netflix, google, twitter, cloud, delivery, health, teaching, etc.

    Smoke and mirrors. Without governement, we would be throwing stones at each other. No knowledge of history as far as I can tell. Government is not the only reason for the destruction of economies. It can play a part, but people are wealthier even when a government is lousy (other than maybe the North Koreans). When you don't understand why government is the catalyst of economies, you can't really figure out how the economy works and grows. Markets are only part of how the economies work.

    this video is so stupid. of course the government should not own buisnesses or abolish private proprety, because this would mean socialism(a shitty system). but in time of economic recession it should boost demand by deficit spending. i'm gonna explain this in a second. this video focus too much on production of goods(supply) as if it is enough to determine the economic conditions. it forgets DEMAND for goods and services wich is necessary because without it buisnesses would just create products witout selling them and make any profit. in times of recession it is created a vicious cycle in wich (because there is a drop in demand) industries cannot sell so they cut on production and jobs, in this way more unemployement is created and demand drops even more! the government should spend more money than it collects in taxes, increasing savings and demand. this will create DEBT, right? no, because in a country with monetary sovereignty government can create money witout borrowing them. now you will reply: "But this would lead to INFLATION!". well, absolutely not. 'cause the government then uses taxation as a tool of monetary policy, so it keeps the price stable.

      The economy is divided in three sectors:
      -government sector
      -private sector
      -forreign sector
      They exchange money for goods and services every day, so the sum of the balances of the three sector must be zero(see the link below)
      This means that all the sectors can't have a surplus in their balances at the same time. In order for one sector to have a surplus, one of the other(or the other two) must have a deficit.
      Now, let's imagine an economy with exports=imports(exports+imports=0).
      In this case the only way the private sector can increase its aggregate savings it's by government deficits.
      So if the government has a -1000 € deficit, on the other hand the private sector has a +1000 € surplus. This is the concept.
      The government can increase taxes and reduce spending to avoid inflation. Why? Because in this way the government runs a surplus and the private sector a deficit. So its savings decrease and so does demand.
      I hope i explained this well, consider that i'm not english.
