To understand why, take a wildly fanciful trip with me to two isolated, side-by-side islands of equal size, Squanderville and Thriftville. Land is the only capital asset on these islands, and their communities are primitive, needing only food and producing only food. Working eight hours a day, in fact, each inhabitant can produce enough food to sustain himself or herself. And for a long time that's how things go along. On each island everybody works the prescribed eight hours a day, which means that each society is self-sufficient. Eventually, though, the industrious citizens of Thriftville decide to do some serious saving and investing, and they start to work 16 hours a day. In this mode they continue to live off the food they produce in eight hours of work but begin exporting an equal amount to their one and only trading outlet, Squanderville. The citizens of Squanderville are ecstatic about this turn of events, since they can now live their lives free from toil but eat as well as ever. Oh, yes, there's a quid pro quo--but to the Squanders, it seems harmless: All that the Thrifts want in exchange for their food is Squanderbonds (which are denominated, naturally, in Squanderbucks). Over time Thriftville accumulates an enormous amount of these bonds, which at their core represent claim checks on the future output of Squanderville. A few pundits in Squanderville smell trouble coming. They foresee that for the Squanders both to eat and to pay off--or simply service--the debt they're piling up will eventually require them to work more than eight hours a day. But the residents of Squanderville are in no mood to listen to such doomsaying. Meanwhile, the citizens of Thriftville begin to get nervous. Just how good, they ask, are the IOUs of a shiftless island? So the Thrifts change strategy: Though they continue to hold some bonds, they sell most of them to Squanderville residents for Squanderbucks and use the proceeds to buy Squanderville land. And eventually the Thrifts own all of Squanderville. At that point, the Squanders are forced to deal with an ugly equation: They must now not only return to working eight hours a day in order to eat--they have nothing left to trade--but must also work additional hours to service their debt and pay Thriftville rent on the land so imprudently sold. In effect, Squanderville has been colonized by purchase rather than conquest. It can be argued, of course, that the present value of the future production that Squanderville must forever ship to Thriftville only equates to the production Thriftville initially gave up and that therefore both have received a fair deal. But since one generation of Squanders gets the free ride and future generations pay in perpetuity for it, there are--in economist talk--some pretty dramatic "intergenerational inequities." katthilaa seppaadu kadhaa.... |

Coming to the presentation, he is pretty good. I read this thesis else where many times, gold bugs are arguing the same for a very long time. |

Chippai.. Commodities like oil, gold etc. priced in dollars. So when dollar goes down in value, more dollars need to buy the same commodity and vice versa. If the interest rates are low, no one wants to buy and invest the us dollars since the yield (interest) is low. If they put the same money in counties like India they are atleast getting 8% interest.

>>But due to the commodity induced inflation, they have to raise the interest rates which would in effect impact USD to the upside. I didn't understand this part. Can you pls explain why do they need to raise the intrst rate? |

Shadow, we discussed this issue some time ago in this section. USA used to finance whole world with their savings until 1980s. Then the easy credit i.e., consumer credit changed everything. US today has net negative savings. It is financed by the rest of the world (mostly middle east, Japan, China & India) today at a staggering rate (more than $2 billion per day). You can only do this for a while. As a result most of the third world is now slowly moving away from USD or diversifying with Gold, Euro etc.. That's one of the reasons for USD's depreciation. Still it is a very complex issue and we are not smart enough to know all the nuances. FED is between rock and hard place right now. For the nation they want weak dollar to make their exports cheaper and economy running. But due to the commodity induced inflation, they have to raise the interest rates which would in effect impact USD to the upside. As I said it is a very complex issue to discuss in one post. |
