    it would be a rational and sensible move if the PRC and us "countries formerly known as u.s. allies" – eu to canada and Australia – would drop all ideological arguing and crush the usa together with a combo – thus creating world peace and a just global society. we could open some whites-only-plantations on their ruins and have them harvest bananas and other stuff that's hard to get at 🤔
    sounds awesome 🇪🇺✌️🇨🇳✌️🇨🇦

    Only a moron would advocate for paying off the national debt while having no idea what is going to happen afterwards. No one ever has explained who exactly is supposed to carry all that money, and no one ever will. That's because no one can.

    Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, but it's getting stronger compared to other currencies and things like gold and property. People are turning to the dollar because they think it's safer. I'm worried about my retirement savings of about $420,000 losing value because of high inflation. Where else can we keep our money?

    Self custody is SUPERIOR to Coinbase, and any user who’s ever experienced the nightmare that is Coinbase will tell you that. BTC doesn’t need banks. This man is WRONG BTC absolutely is money. It’s the hardest non sovereign currency on the planet and it’s destroying worthless fiat paper every day. The value in holding offline has new bitcoin “experts” shook. They want you to think the value is in reinventing banking when the value is in individual power & hodling. I can’t wait to do my doctoral thesis on this and then I’ll be an “Economist” too.

    21:42 I know what Professor Rogoff is going for here, but I think his premise is wrong. While yes it's nigh on impossible to get everything wrong in a multiple choice test, it is possible to get everything wrong in many other types of tests. Why is he implying being a president of a major country boils down to multiple choice questions? I think that it's entirely possible to make every single wrong decision as a world leader (I'm not saying that Trump has, just that the argument for why he has to be right sometimes is daft).

    Theres no shot countries go to any crypto currency for financials, cus the governemnts dont control it, so they cant actually do much with it

    Also the way any crypto is designed is that ita finite like gold, theres a certain number of things it produces, at least thats what theyve said for years. So if they just magically made more itd devalue it completely

    Since the dollar is losing value, is it safer to invest in Bitcoin over stocks, given its inflation hedge, decentralization, and high upside? I’ve had idle cash for over a year!

    I'm no economist or diplomat, but I believe there's a huge opportunity for China, if it could get over its national pride. The whole world is looking to China for trade, and everybody is trying to decouple from the USA. I believe if China came out and acknowledged Taiwan's independence and offered to protect their sovereignty in exchange for close trade ties, not only would that give them more control about who gets Taiwan's exports, but it might also convince many nations that China is fit to be a global leader in place of the USA. I know it won't happen, but I think they'd benefit.

    41:00 Something that I think a lot of economists and Crypto Bros alike miss about fiat currency is that it's not baseless. It has intrinsic value. It's backed by the power and economic prosperity of the issuer. In the same way bank notes from private banks were absolutely backed by the value and holdings of those banks. It's just less tangible than "that pile of gold in a vault over there," because the thing backing a dollar is "a share of the sum of the value of all land, mineral resources, energy resources, agricultural production, labor value, and other holdings within the jurisdiction of the country." If the US were to need to come up with $2,000,000,000,000 to allow another country to "redeem" their dollars (say in a war debt, like Germany in WWI) they absolutely could sell off states, territories (we did that with the Philippines; Russia did it with Alaska, France with Louisiana, &c), raise taxes on people; which the US did to repay our bonds after WWII — a top rate of 91%. So "fiat" currency absolutely is backed by real value, the value of every inch of land, every gram of earth, and every second of life that its people have control over.

    39:19 He does know that all cryptocurrency transactions are public and traceable as the primary core of the technology right? Like, the fact that the ledger is updated in plain view of the world is literally the entire reason it is considered "trust less" and a "guaranteed transfer."

    11:50 The core thing is: public spending and national debt are fine, so long as your interest payments remain below the crisis threshold of your revenues (meaning, of you went into a full depression and everyone didn't produce anything for a year, could you collect enough taxes to pay that debt payment). Essentially the "if someone bombs our country into the stone age can we still make our payments," question.

    The US was doing fine with that for a long time. Until Nixon, then Regan, and finally Trump slashed taxes and funding for the IRS to the point that the majority of taxable resources and production became entirely untaxed.

    The uncollected-receipts-expense;the difference between the maximum amount of tax you can collect without reduction to growth by a greater proportion — kinda like elasticity of demand but for taxes; hit something close to 79% under Trump last time, now it's above 83%. Before Nixon it was about 10%. So we could fix the budget really easily, just tax rich people and amortize capital gains into ordinary income for taxation like we did in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s.

    Because any collection below the growth inflection point for taxation is literally written into government accounts as a payment to the people who would have paid that tax: really rich people.

    So yeah, he's not wrong, but like most "centrist" economists he blames progressives for over regulation instead of blaming conservatives for leaving 90% of the available tax revenues on the table. Revenues that child be used for infrastructure, like reservoirs, and fire breaks, and rebuilding neighborhoods into more resilient and higher density housing, and sending regulators to monitor electrical infrastructure to make sure it doesn't start so many fires to begin with.

    still have time, even the clock already start and ticking.
    still have time.
    first, kick Trump & Trump's cabinet out, to bring back Canada & EU.
    these need to act fast, super fast.
    these already aware since first QE.
    and when USD move out from logistic sector (which will be the same time as country reserved)

    why USD can 'free' printed without reserved, it's from the past as oil, wars & USAID . that are the way US keep USD in that position, but anyway, the past is the past.

    right now, as i said, bring allies back is the only way, which can not done while Trump still in position.

    good luck.

    Oh boy, Kenneth Rogoff…Fairly poor understanding of the world. "I just don't believe it", in reference to China's economy is not a very scholarly way of thinking when confronted with readily available information.

    Brics has been saying this for years now. The title is very overused and click bate. Only clicked to leave a comment as to why I'm Unsubbing and hiding the channel from recommendations. Hopefully the algorithm reads this to get it's shit together.
