Rest in peace to a great man: Yuri Maltsev.
I had the pleasure of joining him for dinner twice in Toronto. As well as being a great economist, he was an exceptional story teller.
Below, I will share some video clips from his public lectures which I found to be insightful.

One of my very favorite people I'd like to talk with.
Over the last few years, it became a particular honor that he would seek me out so we could discuss politics.
Truly one of a kind. twitter.com/mises/status/1…

MMT is a simple accounting equality pretending to be an economic insight, on top of which proponents build a huge normative structure that they promptly rebrand and attempt to sell as theory.

One particularly concerning trend Dr. Maltsev identifies was the escalating weaponization of health, including covid tyranny to politicizing psychiatry to the globalist attempted control over food supplies.

Throughout his career, Dr. Maltsev was a consistent opponent of socialist tyranny. As Western media outlets attempted to lionize communist tyrants, Yuri would always remind the world of the reality of their rule.

Yuri was perhaps best known as a Soviet defector who discovered Austrian economics by obtaining a contraband copy of Hayek's Road to Serfdom.

The imposition of minimum wages harms the economy, although there are nuances in how much harm they cause. It is better not to impose minimum wages at all. | André Marques

A recession looks more likely every day, and the latest sign of this is slowing price growth in producer prices. After all, price inflation usually slows as the economy weakens and consumers run out of easy money. |

@stlouisfed published the graph on the left with two different Y axes to make it look as if China's defense spending outpaced the U.S.
The graph on the right shows how the spending actually compares, with U.S. defense spending dwarfing all others

So-called "supercore" #inflation is the measured general increase in prices for the products whose prices do not increase rapidly/a lot.

Interested to see how this fits in January’s CPI report (out Valentine’s Day ❤️). Falling yoy CPI has been driven by gas prices. But now gas is up 10% this month, most likely because of China reopening. If this lasts beyond January it will frustrate the Fed’s tightening campaign.

Inflation at an annual rate of 5 percent is not a positive, and it is certainly not falling prices. Inflation is accumulative, and this means we are becoming poorer faster. |
