Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I mean if you’re gonna criticize the whole capitalist system sure.

  1. The Federal Reserve purchases assets and thereby increasing bank reserves.
  2. The banks expand credit and consequently the money supply.
  3. All prices are raised, and the rate of interest is artificially lowered.
  4. Misleading signals to businessmen starts to emerge, causing them to make malinvestments.
  5. Businesses overinvest in capital goods and underinvest in consumer goods.
  6. As the "time preference" of the public have not really got lower, consuming is preferred over saving.
  7. There is a lack of enough saving-and-investment to buy all the new capital goods.
  8. Then, "depression" originates in order to reestablish the consumer's old time-preference proportions.
  9. The banks return to their natural and desired course of credit expansion...

FIAT money is independent of capitalism. Its coercive existence leads to distortions of relative prices and the production system, as government and its central bank will always tend to be inflationary.

Exactly. I just meant for the context of the posted article about inflation and our existing economic system, fed did a decent job at bringing it down without crashing the economy, unlike the last time they gave this a go. I included the disclaimer at the start of the comment because I didn't want to imply I was in support of grow at all costs eat the entire earth capitalism though. Not sure how long that paradigm is gonna be able to continue. It all comes back to eat the rich in the end.
