Economic crises can and do happen. But for every true crisis, there are many false alarms, says economist Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak. He explains how to live with the media’s pervasive economic doomsaying, why we should stop treating financial forecasts like a precise science — and what we should embrace instead.

This is all great, but what will be in economy after the elections in USA? This what we need to know. Providing emergency aid to regional banks in the form of a liquidity package like NY Community is not a good sign, reminiscent of the 2007-2008 situation. If all was well, gold would not have shown such clear upward signals similar to those in 2008. But it is still worth agreeing to be a rational optimist.

Economics don’t follow laws and logic because it’s essentially a hand full of people using their gut to make determinations. From a scientific point of view it’s almost random. It’s also not based on anything but gut feeling.
A war starts. So obviously suddenly all possible resources will be scarce so all prices have to increase even when that is kot remotely true. Economy thrives on fear mongering.

What he DOESN’T say at the beginning: 1. The definition of “Recession” was changed, so now it can be said that one never occurred. 2. Employment did have a positive stint at one time after the pandemic, because minimum wage positions were open to hiring again (many establishments used the excuse of Covid for not hiring). They weren’t new jobs. The economy has suffered (employment, inflation, housing).
We should always try to be grounded and not have a doomsday mindset, but we also need to understand the whole picture. Not keep our heads in the sand and believe everything we’re told (good and bad).

Surprising to see so many here fighting the data. He’s right until he’s not, but on a macro level our lives have been getting better for decades and decades. Maybe your individual life hasn’t, but overall more people have more money, eat better, deal with less crime, and have better shelter and medical care than at any time.

This guy is saying, don’t worry, trust the government. Trust the leaders. It’s just stupid. We all know that inflation is hurting regular people. We all know that unemployment is higher than what they report. We can see the increases in crime and homelessness. This guy is a shill. He gets his money from the establishment. It is propaganda. Lies.

National debt is at WW2 levels as a percentage of GDP. Debt payments consume a larger and larger percentage of government spending. This guy is trying to protect the jobs of incumbent politicians and CEO’s. And he is a consultant to those people. He’s a paid shill.

So his solution is “don’t worry, be happy”? Rational optimism relies on the ability to weather the potential storms that may occur because you have sufficient resources for current and short term future needs while you course correct. Or you have a sufficient time window that you can take on more risk to allow long term trends to smooth out short term shocks. The people in that room likely exist in that state but many individuals do not.

April 3, 2024 at 11:38 am
Yeah this is my thought. He’s gloating that we’ve avoided these predicted recessions since 2008 but forgot to mention that we avoided them thanks to unsustainable deficit spending. Our debt load at the current interest rates is about to send us into a debt spiral. Or, if rates come down, we’ll have a resurgence of inflation.

What we learnt just the other day that those on the Forbes rich list have increased their wealth yet again. It’s commonly known as the ‘transfer of wealth’. Many have increased their wealth over the past four years…interesting isn’t it! Can’t see those on the rich list worrying about the economy.
Why do the Governments tax the poor? Are the Governments following an agenda purposely taxing the poor? It’s as if there is a plan to have a two class society…the Global rich and the rest being very poor. Is this leading to neo-feudalism ?

An average economist assessing an economy using one ‘average person’ which, by definition, does not consider wealth distribution or inequality. If you want to know about the economy ask your Mom, your brother, your friends, the woman in the cafe, the guy in the bar, your neighbours and people on the street. The ‘average’ looks far better than it really is because it is dragged up by the wealth growth of the top 5%.
