Cool Checks On Inflation and The Velocity of Money
Inflation can be a pushing up daisies even if the government pumps boatloads of money into a sagging economy if and only if, the velocity of money is also not moving. Velocity of money is the frequency with which a dollar is spent for a certain amount of money over a given period of time.
A non-moving gridlocks velocity of money will result in deflation. Even if the stock market lost trillions of dollars and the government decides to print money to pay off politicians' promises to lobbyists, nothing inflationary will take place until the velocity of money swells.
The absurd Keynesian theory of economics says that the economy can be ''stimulated'' by deficit spending. However, encouraging a working, affective economy will not be possible if in the red obligations is looming. A country or a household for that matter cannot borrow money to spend its way out of IOU arrears. The situation's risk profile is very similar to a huge Ponzi scheme gamble with the taxpayer holding an empty bag!
The velocity of money situation will never be mended by printing money. People will only hold on to their savings and not buying as much because they are concerned. When they are rattled, people generally become more conservative in their buying habits until their fears run dry.
Money is a benchmark of exchange created out of savings. In a barter economy, it would be difficult to exchange unequal units of production without a standard of exchange. Therefore a stable supply of money was created. If the velocity of money stayed the same and the money supply increased, inflation would bring the equation into balance again.
Because the government has created a debt crisis, until it is reduced, most authorities with sound financial credentials reason that confidence will wane. Even in the deflationary environment and economic crisis, the bottom will be reached. Eventually the velocity of money will improve and the economy will flow along more normally.
At the same time, the federal government has immensely inflated the supply of money. As communicated earlier, the inflation will increase as the economy revs up and as the velocity of money takes off. As all the extra printed money chasing a particular amount of goods and services, inflation will go up in the same fashion.
So, the question is: when will you realize that confidence and money velocity increases are taking place? Read the Wall Street Journal and alternative newspapers and sources recognized for their financial sections and check the Consumer Confidence Index's numbers. These numbers are known as ''leading indicators'' and reveal economic trends well before they are observed by hard data.
The other well-known economic indicators that show change before the economy changes are: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reports, Consumer Price Index (CPI) reports, the Producer Price Index (PPI), Employment Indicators, Retail Sales Index, the National Association of Purchasing Management Index (NAPM), the Consumer Confidence Index, Curable Goods Order report, Employment Cost Index (ECI) and the Productivity Report which measures measures how much production is created by a unit of labor.
