Deflationary spiral
If we have high employment or low unemployment, then people are going to have more jobs, and they're going to have higher wages, and that will have higher demand.발음듣기
Or if the other way goes around, if they lose their jobs, demand is going to go down, wages will start to go down, and people aren't going to have money in their pockets.발음듣기
And we can view the demand - and I'm making a huge simplification here - demand will drive production.발음듣기
If the demand is high and the price goes high, that might produce a little bit of negative feedback on the demand.발음듣기
But the general idea is supply and price will then drive corporate profits, or just profits in general, even for an individual business owner.발음듣기
And if demand is really low, then supply is going to go down, and price is going to go down.발음듣기
And so what we find ourselves in this kind of recessionary or depression area environment, this would be called a deflationary spiral.발음듣기
And it's a spiral because a bad economy is driving lower prices, which is in turn driving a bad economy.발음듣기
And to make matters worse, if this continues long enough, or if these price declines are severe enough, you could imagine people saying, look, I have this dollar in my pocket.발음듣기
I'm not going to spend this dollar because, one, I might lose my job at any moment, and I know that that dollar is becoming more powerful, that I can buy more every minute that I wait.발음듣기
So as the price goes down, so as all of this scary stuff happens - so the employment is going down, profits are going down, prices going down - this makes people not hoard goods the way that they would do in an inflationary spiral.발음듣기
And why it's ultra scary for central bankers or for governments is they start to not have as much control over the economy.발음듣기
They can't just run the printing press and try to stimulate the economy in this situation, because if they did people are so conservative right now - You could imagine maybe a depression is going on for years and years and years.발음듣기
And let's say that they take some type of a helicopter - And this isn't how you actually distribute money to the money supply, but it's just to show an extreme example.발음듣기
Well, if people are really scared and really afraid, they're just going to take that $10 bill and stuff it into their mattress, and it's not going to change anything.발음듣기
