Macro Topic 5.3: Understanding the Relationship between Money Growth and Inflation

In this video I explain the difference between the money market and the loanable funds market and explain why one of them is labeled nominal interest rate and the other is labeled REAL interest rate. I also show how both graphs are related to each other and how they can shift in the short run and in the long run. In the bonus round I talk about the natural rate or interest and the Swedish economist Knut Wicksell. Sverige är bäst Please keep in mind that this video is designed for students that have already learned these concepts and graphs.

Crash Course Economics #13: Understanding Recession, Hyperinflation, and Stagflation

If you're ever put in charge of a national economy, there are a few things you should try to avoid. Before you laugh, just remember, you COULD be in charge of an economy someday. Someone has to do it, and anyway, if it could happen to Alan Greenspan, it could happen to you, too. The first thing you're going to want to avoid is hyperinflation. Don't print too much money, okay? Actually, it's a little more complicated than that. Jacob and Adriene will explain. You're also going to want to stay away from recessions, and especially depressions. In the world as it exists today, continued growth is the only path to viability. While some argue for sustainability or even controlled recession, you're not going to keep a job as head of central bank thinking like that in this day and age. Also, avoid stagflation, which is a stagnant, no-growth economy combined with inflation. It's just the worst. Don't do it. All this and more on this week's Crash Cou...

The dire ripple effects aren’t yet fully understood by market participants. On the front lines of this analysis is Hedgeye Financials analyst Josh Steiner. “The takedown of Signature over the weekend was obviously extraordinary,” explains Steiner in the video excerpt from “The Call @ Hedgeye” above. “Signature Bank is not a small bank, with $110 billion in assets and the 29th largest bank in the country. I think we knew it had problems going into the weekend and that was reflected in the equity price but a total wipeout of equity holders and unsecured debt holders? Wow.” In the video above, our entire research team (from Financials to Technology to REITs and Comm...

Bank Bailout Paves the Way for Future Requests Everyone Will Seek

For more information on subscribing to The Call @ Hedgeye: For more FREE investing videos: Get access to Hedgeye's FREE Market Brief newsletter: Sign up for Hedgeye University FOR FREE: For more information on subscribing to Financials Pro: First Citizens Bank received a $16.5 billion discount in its acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank’s loan book. Call it what you want, Keith McCullough says, but this is a government bailout. “It’s a good deal if you can get it,” explains Hedgeye’s CEO in this clip from The Call @ Hedgeye. “The FDIC is underwriting First Citizens’ deal. I hope anybody who doesn’t call this a bailout really feels smart about it.” The discount comes at the expense of taxpayers, and will presumably lead other banks to seek similar bargains in the future. “Now that the market has seen the deal First Citizens got, it might make it more of a challenge for First Republic than it already was,” explains Financials analyst Josh Steiner. “Everybody’s go...
