    Government, Business, Deflation, Inflation, and Accountability

    by Alex Merced 51 views

    Alex Merced discusses how as institutions whether government or business get larger that they begin to lose accountability in the name of efficiencies leading to reckless behavior/moral hazard and that it's a debt deflationary bust that reigns in these institutions in size and accountability.

    It's impossible to give any institution the power for shrinking other institutions because of the incentive to corrupt and growth that particular institution. So the only way to allow social and economic progress to keep going by allowing new firms and individuals in the market you need deflationary busts to to break the power accumulation of older individuals and institutions to make way for new individuals and institutions.

    Positive and Negative Externalities and Property Rights

    by Alex Merced 285 views

    Alex Merced discusses positive and negative externalities, and how they may be internalized.

    Note: I forgot how certain negative externalities may be avoided or internalized via insurance costs, which I have discussed in videos about the role on insurance in a free market.

    But to sum it up, if creating negative externalities increased the odd of legal action, then it'd also increase cost on insuring your property, so you'd have an incentive to avoid those legal and insurance costs by avoiding creating the negative externality.

    Alex Merced discussses how overly Loose Policy can be tight, and overly tight policy can be Loose.

    Vice Versa, Tight policy can possibly cause prices to fall fast enough for liquidity in the economy to rebuild.

    Categorizing Recessions/Depressions (War, Speculative, and Monetary)

    by Alex Merced 20 views

    Alex Merced categorizes economic downturns into three categories:
    - War recessions marked by economies reforming before and after wars
    - Speculative Bubbles, driven by speculation in a particular industry (Housing, Tech, Railroads)
    - Monetary Recessions marked by retraction of economic activity from major and prompt changes to the monetary system (going on and off the gold standard)


    Also also discusses how many these episodes in the late 1800's had non-central bank driven monetary intervention, but that most of the instability was driven primarily by Unit Banking shown by the frequent panics slowing down after the formation of the FDIC in 1933.
