Finans sektörü spekülasyonlarıyla petrol ve diğer emtiaların fiyatlarını, girdi maliyetlerini artırıyor. Üreticiye karşı tek alıcı (monopson), tüketiciye karşı da tek satıcı (monopol) konumda olan zincir marketler, üreticiden düşük fiyattan alıp tüketiciye yüksek fiyata satıyor.

Inconsistencies the new-Keynesian theory: -They have both marginal cost/revenue and markup in their model. -Interest rates are endogenously determined by supply and demand, money supply exogenously by the CB, but asking the CB to change the interest rate, not the money supply. x.com/ilhandogus/s...

Milei curbed inflation not by cutting public spending, rather by way of controls on capital movements and the FX market- policies he and his proponents oppose. If austerity had curbed inflation, inflation would have kept falling. Austerity worked only to impoverish people. x.com/elEconomista...

Home sellers outnumber home buyers since families who fell behind loan payments due to the fall in real wages try to sell homes in order to raise liquidity for debt service. Yet, buyers wait for further price cuts as they know that sellers are overindebted. Result: Less liquidity

"Banks hold huge amounts of government bonds, and when yields rise the value of those bonds falls. US banks held $326.7B in unrealized bond losses" 6 weeks ago, I wrote that the Treasury issued bills and bought bonds to protect bank profits. It seems, it was not sufficient. x.com/BullTheoryio...

A budget deficit is the source of the private sector’s total profits. In the absence of government, firms can't generate profits as wages are below prices. Profits come from consumer spending by people whose wages are paid by others: public employees and people in abroad.

"US Treasury just bought back $6,000,000,000 of its own debt." .... But distinguished professors have been telling that bond rates are rising because the default risk of the government on its own debt has increased?

This is a short, yet incomplete, summary of Minsky. The decisive factors that drive economies into recessions are interest-rate hikes that exceed real wage growth, and austerity policies that suppress wage growth. x.com/RayDalio/sta...

Over long periods of time, debts tend to rise faster than incomes, creating the long-term debt cycle. Even as people become more indebted, lenders freely extend credit because during economic booms, ...
