... This might be the single most important chart for understanding the current inflation situation. For 25 years prior to 2020, the prices of durable goods like cars, washing machines, and couches fell every single year. ...
... In Europe for example. https://t.co/f6ov0RhQB1 This means we can't blame inflation entirely on Congress or the Fed. If we'd gotten less stimulus, strong demand from other countries would still be making this stuff more expensive. The same is true of gasoline, which is also shooting up in price. ...
... It takes a year or two to spin up the capacity, but it's not rocket science. These are also largely global industries, so they won't be constrained by US labor supply. ...
... As @DavidBeckworth has argued, there's no reason to think anything has fundamentally changed about the deflationary nature of durable goods industries. Once they've adjusted to this demand shock, we should start to see demand trending back down. ...

... I'm reading @mattyglesias and thinking that bubble-phobia was a major factor behind the bad economic performance of the Bush and Obama years. https://t.co/p8zhQAIA2D https://t.co/xBi4kjjAXK In the early 2000s, people exaggerated the frothiness of the tech bubble and the harms from its crash. ...
... When a sluggish recovery finally started to gain steam in 2004-5, triggering a housing boom, people once again over-estimated its frothiness. This bubble frame caused the Fed to react too slowly to the onset of the Great Recession from December 2007 to September 2008. ...

... If Rousseau's speculative theory of human nature can have so much influence in the French revolution, a scientific evidence-based theory of human nature should be even more impactful. Instead, most people's understanding of human nature still stays at the Rousseau v.s. Hobbes level. ...
