credit default swaps on subprime mortgage bonds.\n\nSubprime mortgage bond - crappy mortgages were packaged together by Investment Banks and sold in the form of bonds.\n\nCredit default swap - essentially an *insurance policy* with periodic premium payments and a fixed term.\n\nFor example, let's say Michael Burry bought a 30-year credit default swap on $100 million in subprime mortgage bonds.\n\nTriple B-rated tranches - really grotesque stuff - 200 basis points (i.e. 2% interest).\n\nSo $2 million interest per year.\n\nThe most he could lose, if he was incorrect, would be $60 million ($2 million for 30 years).\n\nThe most he could make, if he was correct, would be $100 million.\n\nHe would be correct if the underlying mortgage pool for the tranche lost just 7%.\n\nIt was a zero-sum bet: if Burry $100 million, the party who had sold him the credit-default swap lost $100 million.\n\nSure, many Investment Banks had massive exposure via credit default swaps on subprime mortgage bonds.\n\nSure, many Investment Bankers operated in an amoral way.\n\n**BUT the landscape was crafted by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan!**\n\n*The Central Banks create the conditions for this nonsense to occur.*\n\n**Encouraging more and more credit creation for asset transactions.**\n\nThis creates an asset bubble.\n\nWhen this bubble pops, they blame some other party.\n\nThey then demand more power.\n\nThey then get more power.\n\n​\n\nWhat is the next phase?\n\n**Well, Central Banks are currently expanding their powers.**\n\nThey want to eliminate their competition - cash and bank credit.\n\nHow?\n\nWell, cash is dangerous now...\n\nMoreover, Central Banks implement negative interest rates not for 'muh economic stimulation', but rather to drive both cash and bank credit out of business.\n\nThe endgame?\n\n**Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) - digital currency that only they can issue and control.**\n\nThe end of financial freedom and privacy.\n\n​\n\nHere's how it will (likely) play out...\n\n**We'll have a system whereby:**\n\n**- Nations issue CBDCs directly to citizens;**\n\n**- Central Banks have stockpiles of Gold (and possibly Bitcoin);**\n\n**- 'Sovereign Entities' (Corporations, Individual Investors,**\n\n\u00a0\u00a0 **Institutional Investors, etc) have Bitcoin.**\n\n​\n\n**Capitalism killed Feudalism.**\n\n**Keynesianism killed Capitalism.**\n\n**Feudalism will kill Keynesianism.**\n\n**It's time for Bitcoin...**\n\n​\n\nFull video:\n\n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM5PjSP55NU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM5PjSP55NU)","upvotes":3,"user_id":"financeoptimum"},{"content":"ECB sets up climate change centre","created_at":1613336816.0,"id":"ljo2it","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.88,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/ljo2it/ecb_sets_up_climate_change_centre/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":6,"user_id":"PjeterPannos"},{"content":"EU growth forecast estimated at 3.7% in 2021 will be boosted by recovery fund","created_at":1613336795.0,"id":"ljo2al","n_comments":1,"percentage_upvoted":0.75,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/ljo2al/eu_growth_forecast_estimated_at_37_in_2021_will/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":9,"user_id":"PjeterPannos"},{"content":"London fights for its financial crown, but it will be a stretch","created_at":1613336654.0,"id":"ljo11m","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.81,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/ljo11m/london_fights_for_its_financial_crown_but_it_will/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":9,"user_id":"wilmots1"},{"content":"Morning Brief (Sunday): Compilation of the Most Important Macro News","created_at":1613330102.0,"id":"ljmm4g","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.67,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/ljmm4g/morning_brief_sunday_compilation_of_the_most/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":2,"user_id":"c_barraud"},{"content":"German authorities unable to unlock confiscated $60 million worth of bitcoin as fraudster refuses to give password","created_at":1613319283.0,"id":"ljkjnh","n_comments":2,"percentage_upvoted":0.63,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/ljkjnh/german_authorities_unable_to_unlock_confiscated/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":4,"user_id":"Juliemylove"},{"content":"17 and trying to be prepared:)","created_at":1613317395.0,"id":"ljk5tw","n_comments":4,"percentage_upvoted":0.6,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/ljk5tw/17_and_trying_to_be_prepared/","subreddit":"economy","title":" hi im currently 17 and i want to invest and buy stock when I turn 18.

I\u2019d love to hear your opinions on what you\u2019d like to see done or changes that you\u2019d like to see implemented into our society today\n\nI\u2019ll start by giving 3 basic reasons as to why I think a currency free world is necessary in our progression. \n\n1. Lower crime rates- if money is the \u201croot of all evil\u201d then we can eliminate a lot of that evil by eliminating money. \n2. Sharing the work load- no more unemployment issues since jobs wouldn\u2019t have to worry about budget cuts or things of the sort. The more workers working equals less hours worked for the individual, increasing vacation time! \n3. Better quality products- if money is no longer the driving force for a job, people will work in jobs they enjoy which increases productivity, quality, and ingenuity\n\nPlease tell me your ideas on how you\u2019d like to move forward toward a world like this!","upvotes":1,"user_id":"FlowState88"},{"content":"Banks and crypto.","created_at":1613249867.0,"id":"lj03nr","n_comments":1,"percentage_upvoted":0.33,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lj03nr/banks_and_crypto/","subreddit":"economy","title":"Is the big banks jumping on the crypto train?\n\n[View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/lj03nr)","upvotes":0,"user_id":"Importpapi"},{"content":"I\u2019m sure most of us have deeply contemplated on this at least a couple of times in our lives","created_at":1613248381.0,"id":"lizqr2","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.5,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lizqr2/im_sure_most_of_us_have_deeply_contemplated_on/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":0,"user_id":"Sad-Seaworthiness-51"},{"content":"Morning Brief (Saturday): Compilation of the Most Important Macro News","created_at":1613243777.0,"id":"liyql5","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.92,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/liyql5/morning_brief_saturday_compilation_of_the_most/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":10,"user_id":"c_barraud"},{"content":"\"The MAGA Reset Plan To Restore The Republic\" by Dr. Scott Lively, February 2021 [United States of America] [PDF]","created_at":1613239311.0,"id":"lixtjm","n_comments":3,"percentage_upvoted":0.11,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lixtjm/the_maga_reset_plan_to_restore_the_republic_by_dr/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":0,"user_id":"trot-trot"},{"content":"Coronavirus: Canadian vaccine delays, COVID-19 variants","created_at":1613234843.0,"id":"liwwl8","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.61,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/liwwl8/coronavirus_canadian_vaccine_delays_covid19/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":2,"user_id":"TomG12544"},{"content":"Foreign banks in China forced to reduce lending using overseas funds \u2013 sources","created_at":1613232480.0,"id":"liweo1","n_comments":26,"percentage_upvoted":0.95,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/liweo1/foreign_banks_in_china_forced_to_reduce_lending/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":228,"user_id":"poclee"},{"content":"United States Covid-19: Daily Summary (February 13th) - Christophe Barraud","created_at":1613230201.0,"id":"livw36","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.67,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/livw36/united_states_covid19_daily_summary_february_13th/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":1,"user_id":"c_barraud"},{"content":"The 4 Ambitions For A New Textiles Economy","created_at":1613218166.0,"id":"lisu91","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.71,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lisu91/the_4_ambitions_for_a_new_textiles_economy/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":4,"user_id":"cryptograbby"},{"content":"New US, EU money-laundering laws take aim at art world\u2019s culture of secrecy","created_at":1613216436.0,"id":"liscu4","n_comments":5,"percentage_upvoted":0.99,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/liscu4/new_us_eu_moneylaundering_laws_take_aim_at_art/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":152,"user_id":"Bream1000"},{"content":"China EximBank releases bailout funds of over 76.3b yuan in 2020","created_at":1613211693.0,"id":"lir0v8","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.6,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lir0v8/china_eximbank_releases_bailout_funds_of_over/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":1,"user_id":"kongweeneverdie"},{"content":"Tesla rival Rivian is preparing for an IPO","created_at":1613206359.0,"id":"lipemc","n_comments":4,"percentage_upvoted":0.86,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lipemc/tesla_rival_rivian_is_preparing_for_an_ipo/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":21,"user_id":"thefoodboylover"},{"content":"A Piece of Home: DO AS PLANTS DO","created_at":1613204698.0,"id":"liouq0","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":1.0,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/liouq0/a_piece_of_home_do_as_plants_do/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":1,"user_id":"Peacenplants_"},{"content":"Florida consumers 'flabbergasted' as property insurers push for double-digit rate hikes","created_at":1613201909.0,"id":"linxhq","n_comments":142,"percentage_upvoted":0.98,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/linxhq/florida_consumers_flabbergasted_as_property/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":456,"user_id":"BikkaZz"},{"content":"Exclusive: Google's $76 million deal with French publishers leaves many outlets infuriated","created_at":1613201693.0,"id":"linv0v","n_comments":1,"percentage_upvoted":0.67,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/linv0v/exclusive_googles_76_million_deal_with_french/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":2,"user_id":"BikkaZz"},{"content":"UK economy contracted 9.9% last year.

Traders will receive annual bonuses, while others won\u2019t receive any.\n\nIn a note to staff, Chief Executive Officer Ben van Beurden said that while the company had previously told employees to have\u00a0low expectations\u00a0for salary increases, most wouldn\u2019t get a pay rise this year.\n\nKEEP READING\nVenezuela grants house arrest to jailed state oil firm managers\nUS sells a million barrels of Iranian oil seized under sanctions\nUS economy adds adds 49,000 jobs in January\nShell\u2019s profit slumps in 2020 due to COVID pandemic\nShell is starting one of the biggest reorganizations in its history as it pivots from a century-long structure that prioritized oil and gas production to a greener future. There will be as many as 9,000 job losses over the next two years, with cuts already announced in the Netherlands, the U.K. and Malaysia. A second round of voluntary redundancies is also underway, Van Beurden said last week.\n\nHe reiterated that there would be no bonus payments for anyone in the company, the people said. In July, Chief Financial Officer Jessica Uhl told analysts that halted bonus payouts would save the company about $1 billion.\n\nShell\u2019s traders, however, will receive bonuses as it\u2019s not tied to payout budgets associated with the company\u2019s performance, people with knowledge of the matter said, asking not to be identified because the information is not public.\n\nThe company\u2019s trading unit, among the biggest in the world, had its\u00a0best performance on record\u00a0in the second quarter of last year. Van Beurden\u2019s note did not mention bonuses for traders, which can often be hefty.\n\nA Shell spokesperson declined to comment.\n\nThe Anglo-Dutch oil giant reported disappointing end-of-year earnings as the impact of the coronavirus continued to hit fuel sales and refining margins. The pressure to turn greener has pushed companies toward clean-energy projects which typically have lower returns than oil. That is forcing them to keep a tight rein on expenditure.\n\nStill, Shell will continue to reward shareholders. In a statement outlining it\u2019s energy transition path on Thursday, the company reiterated its commitment to raise the dividend by about 4% each year. It will also start share buybacks once net debt falls to $65 billion.\n\nSOURCE : BLOOMBERG\nRelated\n\nOptimism-fuelled oil nears $60 per barrel, highest in a year\nThe last time Brent traded at $60 a barrel, COVID-19 had yet to take hold, economies were open \u2013 and demand was higher.\n\n5 Feb 2021\n\nOil settles near $55 a barrel, highest level in over a year\nCrude has been climbing steadily since late last year on vaccine hopes and as output curbs produced a tighter market.\n\n2 Feb 2021\n\nNigerian farmers hail Shell ruling, but future remains uncertain\nA Dutch court has ordered the energy company\u2019s Nigerian subsidiary to pay farmers compensation over oil spills.\n\n31 Jan 2021\n\nShell plans up to 9,000 job cuts with virus driving reductions\nOil firm joins competitors such as BP and Chevron in cutting jobs as they struggle with falling fossil fuel demand.\n\n30 Sep 2020\nMORE FROM ECONOMY\nUK economy suffers record 9.9 percent slump in 2020\n\nWhy is everyone talking about Clubhouse?

This might be a boring post, but I genuinely want to have a discussion with you all about what you think is the best way to protect our wealth.\n\nNot a prerequisite, but this video helps set the tone for this discussion:\u00a0[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFDe5kUUyT0&list=PLE88E9ICdiphYjJkeeLL2O09eJoC8r7Dc&index=4&ab\\_channel=GoldSilver%28w%2FMikeMaloney%29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFDe5kUUyT0&list=PLE88E9ICdiphYjJkeeLL2O09eJoC8r7Dc&index=4&ab_channel=GoldSilver%28w%2FMikeMaloney%29)\n\nThe Fed's been pumping the dollar for ages, and it only seems to be getting worse. Our intuition tells us it can't be possible to keep on printing money and piling on debt without having some consequences down the road. The purchasing power of our dollar is going to get weaker and weaker.\n\nPerhaps to protect against our weakening currency, we should be invested in things with inherent value. Physical goods, commodities, maybe the classic gold. Or maybe it's still better to invest in stocks. After all, these companies do produce goods with inherent value right? But wait, their valuation seems to be off the charts nowadays. Which is the better investment? Given the uncertainty, seems like the usual conservative advice is diversify. The key takeaway here is that we're forced to \"invest\", because the government and their elite friends created an environment where no investment directly leads to loss of wealth. You bet they love this environment because they are the ones with the most investments, benefitting the most out of all.\n\nSo in a hypothetical world with a fixed monetary supply, what would happen? They say a fixed monetary supply leads to deflation. People will HODL on to their money, reducing demand, to which companies react by reducing output, and thus a vicious cycle of economic contraction ensues. I'm not sure I buy this argument though. Do you think your spending habits will change drastically if there's deflation? It'll obviously depend on the rate of deflation, but I doubt it can be very high. How much do you think human labor efficiency goes up by each year? Because that's what's money is supposed to be right? A representation of the effort you expended, such that you can exchange it for someone else's effort. A world where money doesn't represent human labor is corrupt. And in an unjust world, there is civil unrest. Look at our polarized country right now.\n\nBack to fixed monetary supply and deflation. If GDP is any sign, then we're probably looking at 2\\~3% growth in goods produced each year. With a 2\\~3% deflation rate, holding on to your money is going to get you 2\\~3% more stuff the next year, and 2\\~3% more the next, then another 2\\~3%, and so on. Are you really gonna hodl and hodl for those 2\\~3% annual gains? I don't think so, you're gonna spend your money, UTILIZE your money, and live your life. After all, why do you want money if you're not going to spend it for its utility?\n\nIt's true deflation may lead to slight contraction in consumer spending. However I think this is a good thing. You will be wiser in how you spend your money, and certainly wouldn't take on debt like crazy (in a deflationary environment, your $1000 mortgage payment feels much larger in its 30th year than in the 1st year, because the purchasing power of $1000 increased over the years). But isn't all this leading to a healthier economy? Prudent spending and responsible use of credit. A society that does not nurture rampant debt-fueled consumption.\n\nI believe a lot of our social problems can be helped by a reduction in the wealth gap. A lot of problems arise from not being able to maintain your livelihood, so a redistributed wealth would mean more people being able to maintain their livelihood, reducing their dissatisfaction to society.\n\nI digress. What am I getting at? The current monetary system is corrupt. It gets me angry thinking about how the rich are legally taxing the poor (double-dip: inflation + taxation), and the poor remain largely clueless. Maybe you're some investing-savvy middle class guy and you made some double digit gains last year, but everyone knows the rich made much more than you did. In a relative scale, you still lost. And you also partook in perpetuating the corrupt system. Do you want to keep living in this kind of world or do you want a change?\n\nHistory taught us with enough people behind a cause, we can make a change. I wonder how many of you have the same thoughts as I do and want an end to this corrupt monetary system. I don't know what the answer is. How do we get out of this mess? Do we start boycotting the USD and start accumulating gold / decentralized currencies? How do we make a smooth transition to a new monetary system? What even is the new monetary system? One thing I am certain about is that we can only make our voices heard by allocating our power in what we believe in. In government that's through votes, in economy that's through money. Let's put our money somewhere where our voices can be heard.\n\nDisclaimer: You might look through my profile and see that I invest in blockchain/cryptocurrency. That is just a result of my distrust of the US monetary system. I am not writing this post to promote a pump in any particular asset. I just want us to recognize this problem and discuss what we can do.","upvotes":4,"user_id":"somedude7913"},{"content":"Definition of Taxes - Economist","created_at":1613074289.0,"id":"lhjg1h","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.67,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhjg1h/definition_of_taxes_economist/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":1,"user_id":"HassanAmmar22"},{"content":"Morning Brief (Thursday): Compilation of the Most Important Macro News","created_at":1613072166.0,"id":"lhixnk","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.67,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhixnk/morning_brief_thursday_compilation_of_the_most/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":1,"user_id":"c_barraud"},{"content":"UK-Singapore free trade deal enters into force today","created_at":1613072053.0,"id":"lhiwqx","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.72,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhiwqx/uksingapore_free_trade_deal_enters_into_force/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":3,"user_id":"Worms_sg"},{"content":"US Annual Energy Outlook 2021","created_at":1613071167.0,"id":"lhipj0","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":1.0,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhipj0/us_annual_energy_outlook_2021/","subreddit":"economy","title":"[Report](https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/)","upvotes":1,"user_id":"ConnentingDots"},{"content":"Oil Barrel falls weighed down by new variants of COVID after strong comeback","created_at":1613070579.0,"id":"lhikkk","n_comments":1,"percentage_upvoted":0.5,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhikkk/oil_barrel_falls_weighed_down_by_new_variants_of/","subreddit":"economy","title":"Oil Barrel falls weighed down by new variants of COVID after strong comeback\r\nCoronavirus impact on crude oil price\n\nhttps://money2y.com/oil-barrel-falls-weighed-down-by-new-variants-of-covid-after-strong-comeback/","upvotes":0,"user_id":"money2y"},{"content":"$CREG is very undervalued stock! 30 million in market cap with 70 million in cash and has invested money in a battery business!","created_at":1613069132.0,"id":"lhi7wh","n_comments":1,"percentage_upvoted":0.4,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhi7wh/creg_is_very_undervalued_stock_30_million_in/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":0,"user_id":"Tomkila"},{"content":"Economic history of banking book?","created_at":1613068414.0,"id":"lhi1y8","n_comments":2,"percentage_upvoted":1.0,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhi1y8/economic_history_of_banking_book/","subreddit":"economy","title":"What\u2019s the best book to read that goes over the economic history of banking? \n\nPreferably one that has a more in depth look at the \u201cpre-banking\u201d era, where other institutions (ex. religious temples) performed the duties that we typically associate with modern banks today, and how that era led to many transitions into the modern era of banking.","upvotes":5,"user_id":"TheIncandescentAbyss"},{"content":"World's top 15 hedge fund managers made $23.2bn in total last year","created_at":1613062899.0,"id":"lhgrii","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.78,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhgrii/worlds_top_15_hedge_fund_managers_made_232bn_in/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":9,"user_id":"Fatherthinger"},{"content":"Amsterdam ousts London as Europe\u2019s top share trading hub","created_at":1613062273.0,"id":"lhgm5s","n_comments":1,"percentage_upvoted":0.92,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhgm5s/amsterdam_ousts_london_as_europes_top_share/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":10,"user_id":"PjeterPannos"},{"content":"United States Covid-19: Daily Summary (February 11th) - Christophe Barraud","created_at":1613058075.0,"id":"lhfppj","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":0.5,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhfppj/united_states_covid19_daily_summary_february_11th/","subreddit":"economy","title":"","upvotes":0,"user_id":"c_barraud"},{"content":"Book suggestion for Beginner","created_at":1613058073.0,"id":"lhfpp1","n_comments":1,"percentage_upvoted":1.0,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lhfpp1/book_suggestion_for_beginner/","subreddit":"economy","title":"Can anyone suggest some books to learn basic economy ? \n\nI am not an economy student but I have always been fascinated by how money works and I recently started my stock market journey.

Completing the survey takes approximately 4 minutes and you can find the link at the bottom of this message! Some background information: For my graduation internship I do research into business search behavior. During my thesis I created client and company profiles. On the basis of these profiles I made a customer analysis, so that the target group can be approached more specifically. With this survey I ask various questions that give me more insight into business search behavior, with the aim of approaching the target group in a more targeted way and providing the right service. Are you also curious about how you can approach your target group more specifically? Fill in this survey and at the bottom you will find my contact details. As soon as the details are known, I will send them by e-mail. All answers given are anonymous. Thank you very much for completing this survey. I really appreciate it and you help me a lot in my research. \ud83d\udc4d\ud83d\udc4d \n\n[https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=t3dj48Rwk0SjOAlZGNMn6dyxnfFqWq1Hm1mLP0z1SipUQjNKNDNNS1ZOQUk1SEtFVDQ0WlRCRVk0TC4u](https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=t3dj48Rwk0SjOAlZGNMn6dyxnfFqWq1Hm1mLP0z1SipUQjNKNDNNS1ZOQUk1SEtFVDQ0WlRCRVk0TC4u) \n\nPS. You might have to change the language to English to fill this survey in. And I am aware that questions 5 and 6 probably don't give a proportionate picture as I am posting this on Reddit.

This would mean that any decision by the Palestinians to fire on Israel would become directly tied to the global economy and the value of the Palestinian currency. Since the threat of war in the Middle East is often followed by a rise in the demand and value of oil, any hostility from Gaza(as the epicenter of mid-east conflict) could effect the price of oil by raising its value, which would thus(in turn) lower the value of the Palestinian currency that's pegged inversely to it. This implies that aggression would have a direct negative implication to the Palestinian economy. In any event, the control over the printing or minting of this currency should be allotted to the Palestinian authorities. This way the peace process directly incentivizes the Palestinians not in terms of land, but in terms of global economic clout since their currency would be intricately tied to world peace and climate change solutions, thus putting some checks and balances on currencies whose value is directly tied to the value of oil and the war machine. The global movement that is trying to get away from war and pollution is something that would easily aid the global demand for this new Palestinian currency.* [https://www.academia.edu/44815110/Peace\\_Plan\\_in\\_which\\_the\\_Palestinians\\_would\\_have\\_their\\_currency\\_added\\_to\\_the\\_basket\\_of\\_currencies\\_backing\\_the\\_IMFs\\_Special\\_Drawing\\_Rights\\_SDR\\_](https://www.academia.edu/44815110/Peace_Plan_in_which_the_Palestinians_would_have_their_currency_added_to_the_basket_of_currencies_backing_the_IMFs_Special_Drawing_Rights_SDR_)","upvotes":2,"user_id":"thedowcast"},{"content":"Hot discussion: Redditors are in shock.

the ignorance - I\u2019m not exactly an economist.\n\nI\u2019m looking for clarification on two things which irk me in the ECB\u2019s role and policy:\n\n1) Why has the ECB kept rates at below zero for so long? Doesn\u2019t this limit its ability to effectively combat deflation? Isn\u2019t it a cause of stagnation in the banking sector? Isn\u2019t it generally a poor idea? The EU economy has been pretty stagnant for some decades now. Could this be a cause?\n\n2) How does rate manipulation even work out? I\u2019ve heard Eurosceptics often cite the example of Germany and Greece. Their economies are largely uncorrelated - where one does well, the other might do poorly. However, monetary policy is effected centrally. For example, if Greece experiences deflation whilst Germany is hitting its target inflation rate, the ECB will lower rates to stabilise Greece, and likely drive Germany into excessive inflation. This argument makes sense, but surely it\u2019s not the whole story? What\u2019s the rationale in favour of this system?\n\nThanks!\n\nP.S: The reason I ask is because I\u2019ve been pondering both sides of Brexit lately and I\u2019m trying to reach a conclusion on who is objectively more \u2018right\u2019 on the issue. Is the EU a stagnant econo-political bloc which is destined to fall behind the US/China/India/ME?

Places like Seattle (I think) have already adopted it.\n\nMy question is, how will a $15 minimum wage be feasible nationwide?\n\nLet\u2019s consider LA. In LA, things are more expensive. It\u2019s on the wealthier side. Housing is less affordable and whatnot so businesses in the area willingly already operate above-minimum wage. Would a $15 minimum wage really do much to wealthier areas? So it wouldn\u2019t be helping those areas.\n\nThe argument here is that inflation has happened and minimum wage has not been linear.\n\nThe problem I see is that with less wealthy areas, where the housing is cheaper and whatnot\u2014 small towns\u2014, they obviously will operate closer to the minimum wage because they just cannot afford high pay. Again, the area has cheaper housing so it balances out to a livable wage. If the federal minimum wage is raised to $15, how can these less wealthy areas manage to abide by it?\n\nI don\u2019t know much about the economy and stuff.

Borrowers are losing sleep at night over payment of their loans due to negative amortization at standing rates of 5-7%, depending on the year issued (the current moratorium not withstanding). It is also killing every major industry and market, including housing and car loans. College graduates are not contributing to these sectors because of the interest on their student loan debt. \n\nStudent loan debt cancellation is laden with political and social controversy, so that is off the table. However, inaction would be much worse as the bubble of outstanding student debt continues to inflate. Therefore, the most moderate and sensible solution is the abolition of all interest and fees for which federal student loans incur. Borrowers are still on the hook for repaying what they borrowed, but only what they actually borrowed. The only penalty for non-repayment is damaged credit and possible collection notice. \n\nThis is not just a political issue, but an economic one. The damage to the economy by the compound interest on federal student loans is staggering. The voluntary nature of the contract is inarguable, but the economic damage of the compound interest is nationally evident.

They have shown everyone who really benefits from the \"free\" market and who is just being used to generate profits.\n\n**But the truth is that the stock market was and is not more than a way to invest in companies, it's the redistribution of wealth from the workers and \"the little guys\" to the top 1%.**\n\nWhat do I mean by that?\n\nCompanies constantly buy back shares and payout dividends to increase their share price which only benefits their investors, and because the stock market is proportional, mostly the richest ones.\n\nMost of today's CEOs have a clause in their contract that adjusts their salary to the stock performance of the company, not really surprising since the investors also choose the CEO. But that also means that the profits that a company makes aren't being used to pay workers higher wages or to make research and development, it is (often) given to investors, this isn't adding any more value to the company or the market in general since it is all going in the pockets of shareholders.\n\n**But not every shareholder benefits the same**, a retail investor, with let's say 10.000$, can realistically never make the same money as a hedge fund or an investment bank just because of the volume of money that these institutions have. The stock market isn't about smart moves and picking the right companies, it's about having enough money in it to profit from the constant stream of money from companies paying into the stock market.\n\nThat's why the markets, over a long enough time, are always going up more than inflation, the money being used to increase a companies stock price is however always on the back of the low-paid worker which allows the company to make this money in the first place.\u00a0**Think about it, why should the stock market always exceed inflation, the money has to come from somewhere, right?**\n\nThis system is built to make the rich richer and fool us into believing it's a fair and democratic market, but it isn't, it's a market where success is determined by having or not having enough money.\n\nSo, now that \"the small guys\" finally have the big media attention, we should start addressing these greater problems within the current system. Gamestop is a good start, but only one example of a far greater problem and a market that benefits the 1% instead of everyone.\n\nI know this won't be easy but this is our chance to use the current situation for something far bigger and important than just GME, this could be the start of a revolution that redefines how money is distributed.

This is my first time posting on Reddit although I've been lurking for quite some time now. After about a week of following the WSB movement fairly closely a few friends and I started discussing what would happen if GME actually reaches a ridiculously high price of $5k or $10k...or even if it doesn't. Even if these hedge funds were forced to cover at the current price ($325 as I'm typing this), the current market cap is $22.67B. Considering that these corrupt assholes shorted around 140% of the GME stock, there is just no way that they'd be able to cover. Right? Which leads me to believe that even if these giant hedge funds go bust and liquidate to cover, there would still be an outstanding amount of shares that would have to be covered. At that point would the federal government have to step in and cover the rest of the shares? Who's going to pay the people holding shares? I can only think back to 2008 where the federal government bailed out these large hedge funds after they defaulted. The thing that worries me here is that we're only talking about GME. Thats not even factoring in AMC, BB or anything else. With that being said, if my assumption is correct (which there is a high chance it isn't), given the current status of the American economy: the trillions of dollars we've spend to deal with the pandemic and the huge unemployment hurdle we have to face, could this possibly be the straw that broke the camel's back? Could we have a big problem brewing here? Again I have no clue if any of this is accurate, thats why I'm here. I've tried searching this up online but I couldn't find anything on this topic. My goal isn't to try to scare anyone, I just genuinely don't know as I'm still trying to understand the monstrous complexity of the stock market and economy in general. I know a lot of you are extremely knowledgable when it comes to this stuff so I'm asking for a helping hand.

Despite, according to my knowledge, Trump's trade war not bringing back manufacturing, these individuals still want to engage in a trade war with China, Mexico, and others in the attempt to restore manufacturing. \n\nWhat is the plausibility of bringing / restoring manufacturing in the US and Canada? This seems highly unlikely to me and I assume this is just a delusional fantasy, but I want to take it seriously for a moment so I can knowledgeably discuss this topic with my interlocutors. What are the factors that would prevent or enable manufacturing to return? \n\nThe issues as I see them are: the US and Canadian dollar seem too high, wages in the US and Canada are not competitive relative to other countries, and it seems highly unlikely that other countries are just going to passively sit around and let their manufacturing industries be taken out of their countries and dropped back into US / Canada. Therefore, these trade wars produce a terrifying international atmosphere.\n\nAnother issue is that there are too few regulations in place under neoliberal globalization. However, those that want to bring back manufacturing are economic nationalists who are actively trying to break from neoliberalism and globalization. Yet, they seem to be anti-regulation within borders and pro-regulation across borders. This seems to be quite contradictory. \n\nI feel like I am missing a lot on this topic still, which factors am I still missing?

This will be solved when regular people can freely trade.\n\nWe are not supposed to have a planned economy, so it's somewhat surprising but it looks like we've had one for quite some time.\n\nThe events of the last few days draw a fine point on how little control the people have regarding the businesses that make up the business part of our society. For our system to work, we must be able to support, invest in and own all publicly-traded companies that are operative in our communities, whether we own only fractional shares or half of Microsoft. As we have seen though, the people's access to the markets is easily controlled by the investment banks. They simply stop allowing us to participate. Thus, we have very little say regarding which businesses thrive and which ones die. We have more say than ever, which is exciting, but still very little.\n\nAs an aside, it should be easier - or at least possible - for regular people to invest in smaller businesses, regional and local businesses. The people of the town should be able to support the businesses of the town. \n\nInstead of the people, large pools of capital like investment banks, insurance companies, and long-standing institutional wealth largely determine the businesses we have in our towns. The way this money places itself in the national stock markets determines success or failure. If the company's shares are trading at a good price, the company can capitalize on that in many ways, making itself a better, stronger company, reflective of its market cap. This is the beauty of the Great System of Freedom, it allows the people to support the endeavors and leaders they believe in. On the other side, if the company's shares are trading at a bad price, the company is far more limited in its options. That's the beauty of the Great System of Freedom too. But it doesn't work if the people can't own the shares. If the people can't own the shares, the big-money can just move share prices around, keeping some companies and killing others. \n\nThat's a planned economy. And it's determinative of a large part of experience. You don't get to go to Gamestop anymore, for example, because the investment banks have decided to choke it to death. Except maybe Gamestop will be around for awhile . . .\n\nThey're trying to choke Gamestop to death, by the way, because digital downloads and staying in your house all the time are the goal for them. They've decided that is the superior alternative. Not the invisible hand. It may seem like so much pablum, but this is why the Great System of Freedom hasn't been working. We've all been able to feel it for a long time, something is off, the whole thing is rigged, we don't have the voice we're supposed to have. This is it. This is why.

Banks are built to store and increase the value of their shareholders money. And their shareholders are the people who don't have to have deposits in order to run the bank. (secny.org)That gives them an immense amount of power over the members money, all of whom cannot graduate to becoming a shareholder, with little to nothing to lose. Meanwhile credit unions are run by members and are non profit organizations.\n\nRight now, banks are lending just 34% of their loans to small business(fundera.com). This is down from 50% from before the financial crisis of 2008. Meanwhile big business loans have gone up 4% during that span.\n\nI think that we need to do a few things to help fix our economy and make it more healthy as well as reduce the ever increasing wealth gap. Here are a few suggestions.\n\n1. Banks have to lend 50% or more of their loans to small business and reduce the lending to Big Business to under 20%\n2. Shareholders of banks have to be members and will be members from all different types of stakes( money) in the bank. They will be the group that will approve what quotas of money banks lend to business, mortgages, agriculture etc. 3\n\nThis will do 2 things, due to the shareholders being members, savings accounts will have higher interests as the interest hogging free loaders will be driven out. Large companies will have to resort to different ways to raise money. They will have to go public more and offer larger amounts of stock to the public to raise money. That will reduce the stake that the Uber rich have in the company and billionaires will be fewer. This will lead to more small business doing well and giving us passionate products in which they truly believe in.\n\nI believe that competitive capitalism and engaging in small business ownership as well as reducing the impact of big business on getting in their way will be the movement that will get us to a more economic equality.

These decisions are made through some combination of market transactions and collective or hierarchical decision making. Everyone from individuals to entities such as families, corporations, and governments participate in this process. The economy of a particular region or country is governed by its culture, laws, history, and geography, among other factors, and it evolves due to the choices and actions of the participants. For this reason, no two economies are identical.** \n\nThat's a partial definition. Investopedia goes on to explain in more detail, but it is still merely a basic and simplified definition. Generally, the idea is, the economy is an expansive topic covering a wide variety of activities undertaken by consumers, governments, corporations, and other players in society. It also encompasses the means of production and resources.\n\nThere have been a number of complaints from users who feel they have a better definition of 'the economy' than Investopedia. However they never explain what their definition is. They just make wild accusations and report material they don't like for whatever reason as \"not about the economy\".\n\n​\n\nSo if you have time, fill out this poll. It will help the mod team to understand what people mean when they say certain material is 'not about the economy'.\n\n​\n\nUnfortunately 6 is the maximum number of questions reddit allows. If you have a different definition, make a comment.\n\n[View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/k6v29p)","created_at":1607149470.0,"id":"k6v29p","n_comments":44,"percentage_upvoted":0.94,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/k6v29p/what_do_you_think_the_economy_means/","subreddit":"economy","title":"What do you think 'the economy' means?","upvotes":47,"user_id":"n0ahbody"},{"content":"","created_at":1613416614.0,"id":"lkbomb","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":1.0,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lkbomb/how_a_minimumwage_increase_is_being_felt_in_a/","subreddit":"economy","title":"How a Minimum-Wage Increase Is Being Felt in a Low-Wage City","upvotes":1,"user_id":"Maxcactus"},{"content":"Billionaire investor\u00a0Steve Cohen\u00a0,\u00a0owner\u00a0of the\u00a0Mets\u00a0baseball\u00a0team\u00a0, viewed by small investors as an enemy in GameStop's stock drama this week, deleted his\u00a0Twitter account\u00a0due to alleged\u00a0death\u00a0threats\u00a0against him and his family, he said. a spokeswoman.\n\nhttps://money2y.com/investment/mets-owner-steve-cohen-shuts-down-twitter-account-over-death-threats/","created_at":1613415802.0,"id":"lkbh9d","n_comments":0,"percentage_upvoted":1.0,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/lkbh9d/mets_owner_steve_cohen_shuts_down_twitter_account/","subreddit":"economy","title":"Mets owner Steve Cohen shuts down Twitter account over death threats","upvotes":1,"user_id":"money2y"},{"content":"","created_at":1611869715.0,"id":"l6wpp1","n_comments":276,"percentage_upvoted":0.98,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/l6wpp1/gamestop_is_proof_that_the_market_is_just_a/","subreddit":"economy","title":"GameStop Is Proof That 'The Market' Is Just a Bookie Joint With Aspirations","upvotes":3624,"user_id":"zsreport"},{"content":"","created_at":1611829169.0,"id":"l6lfvv","n_comments":65,"percentage_upvoted":0.99,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/l6lfvv/1_hedge_fund_blows_up_1000000_retail_investors/","subreddit":"economy","title":"1 hedge fund blows up 1,000,000 retail investors ? \u201cEfficient market\u201d! 1,000,000 retail investors blow up 1 hedge fund ? \u201cMarket manipulation\u201d","upvotes":2130,"user_id":"FutureisAsian"},{"content":"","created_at":1611838912.0,"id":"l6ojrb","n_comments":42,"percentage_upvoted":0.98,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/l6ojrb/notice_how_wall_st_immediately_demanded/","subreddit":"economy","title":"Notice how Wall St immediately demanded regulation to protect themselves","upvotes":697,"user_id":"ChillPenguinX"},{"content":"","created_at":1611875126.0,"id":"l6z0k9","n_comments":12,"percentage_upvoted":0.9,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/l6z0k9/robinhood_clients_say_platform_has_removed/","subreddit":"economy","title":"Robinhood clients say platform has removed GameStop and AMC, and is only allowing holders to sell","upvotes":68,"user_id":"DonaldWillKillUsAll"},{"content":"","created_at":1611823363.0,"id":"l6jass","n_comments":52,"percentage_upvoted":0.98,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/l6jass/financial_sector_aghast_the_poors_are_gaming/","subreddit":"economy","title":"Financial sector aghast the poors are gaming system designed to be gamed by the rich","upvotes":994,"user_id":"n0ahbody"},{"content":"","created_at":1611871057.0,"id":"l6x7zv","n_comments":6,"percentage_upvoted":0.88,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/l6x7zv/elon_musk_releases_short_shorts_with_gamestop_logo/","subreddit":"economy","title":"Elon Musk Releases Short Shorts with GameStop Logo","upvotes":71,"user_id":"readerseven"},{"content":"","created_at":1611802106.0,"id":"l6blj5","n_comments":50,"percentage_upvoted":0.99,"permalink":"/r/economy/comments/l6blj5/investor_chamath_palihapitiya_will_donate_his/","subreddit":"economy","title":"Investor Chamath Palihapitiya will donate his earnings from GameStop's rally to the Barstool Fund, which supports struggling small businesses","upvotes":1793,"user_id":"readerseven"}],"trust":1.0}
