This assumes that the supply of goods and services is constant, but population growth alone should increase it, and then there is also productivity gains. That is why you pretty much have to increase the money supply, otherwise you would have deflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickudon Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 The bread i buy from Lotus has gone up 18% this year. Fruit, veg, meat prices change every week, so hard to say how much they have gone up. But i got 5 kg of tomatoes for 30 baht this week! Just need to look for bargains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you use a 42 year old mythology. If I were to use the 1997 post Tom Yam Gung forex rates of over 80 thb to £1 GBP and tell the bank that is the rate it should be they would quite rightly laugh me out of the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may if you look at the CPI report, there was a decline in prices, i.e lumber, used cars, oil, energy, gold, I forget all the numbers, us economy is already slowing down, employment is increasing means supply chain issues get relieved, supply increases, demand decreases Edited April 14, 2022 by dj230 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee called up John Williams, founder of Shadow Government Statistics, from where this stupid claim originates, and Williams could not name a single item that has increased in price according to his inflation numbers. Furthermore, Williams did not get to 15% inflation (or whatever) by using “the old method from 1981”, he seems to be misinterpreting a cumulative 20-year change in the measured price level as a change in the measured annual inflation rate. And that causes him to overestimate that annual change by at least an order of magnitude. Edited April 14, 2022 by lkn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
