Warren Buffett’s son says charity fuels a ‘perpetual poverty machine’ and rich people giving money away eases their conscience but doesn’t solve the problem.

When billionaire Warren Buffett pledged to give away 85 per cent of his fortune in 2006, as part of a Giving Pledge where some of the country’s wealthiest people would do more to help charity, he was applauded.

So true, I wonder when we will make use of this idea and make the world as good as it could be for those who are less fortunate. Not too soon I guess, it’s just business as usual.

Preventing economic inflation is easy

by GEO RGE Feb 18, 2023 3 Comments 3 Links

#economics, #economy, #government, #inflation, #money, #policy,

High rates of inflation are caused by the government’s increasing the money supply too rapidly. A growing economy always has a growing demand for money because with more stuff to buy, you need more money with which to buy it. To keep the overall level of prices constant, increase the money supply at the same rate that demand is increasing. If the supply of money increases faster than the demand, the value of money falls, creating an inflation. I recently encountered this idea again in this populist book: https://www.dummies.com/book/business-careers-money/business/economics/economics-for-dummies-3rd-edition-282166/
