Inflation: Causes, Consequences, and Cure
https://mises.org/events/inflation-causes-consequences-and-cure
{Mises Institute | 17 February 2024}

While the government tries to hide the consequences of inflation in its official statistics, Americans see and feel it every time they visit the grocery store. The state and its media lapdogs try to blame inflation on corporate greed, but the true source of inflation is the Federal Reserve and the banking system.

Join the Mises Institute in Tampa for our first event of 2024 to discuss inflation’s causes, consequences, and cure. Our speakers - Tom DiLorenzo, Joe Salerno, and Patrick Newman - will uncover the state’s deceit to reveal what inflation really is: deliberate debasement of the dollar to create winners and losers. The main beneficiary is of course the government, but as the speakers will show, inflation infects the whole economy, creating business cycles, financial instability, and unending strain on household budgets.

This is not naturally-occurring stupidity.

It is willful and deliberate.

Inflation targeting is planned money value destruction. It's immoral.

This is one of the most important arguments against inflation. A lot of liberals are economically illiterate, and they know it. They can't balance a checkbook and lose track of cash like water running out of a sieve. Regardless of whether the system failed them, or they failed themselves, they are financial incompetents and they know it. But one thing that a lot of them have right, despite their bonkers economic fairy-tale beliefs, is that government should not be helping the Fat Cats at the expense of the Little Guy. Fair enough, and I agree! And so does Tom DiLorenzo, and he's going to explain to you in precise detail exactly how central-bank inflation only benefits the Fat Cats and only injures the Little Guy. Inflation is a hyper-regressive tax! Repeat that as many times as required for the slogan to sink in! Inflation is a hyper-regressive tax! It hurts the Little Guy, and is a massive boon to the Fat Cats! The "OcCuPy WaLl StReEt" crowd should be occupying the Fed! What's wrong with you people, wake up!!

Do any of these videos talk about the delay of effects? This is all great stuff but we're never going to get anywhere as long as everyone fails to realize that the inflation we've been experiencing during Biden's term is all the result of the new money Trump's administration created right before leaving.

@ 3:25 : "Today, I want to talk about why inflation is a hidden tax that redistributes wealth from the late receivers of the money to the early receivers of the money ..."
