NOTE Why doesn't a collapse or recession occur quickly when the money supply is expanded?

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
Why doesn't the recession happen in a couple of weeks or a month or so?

2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:10.000
Well, the reason it doesn't happen in a couple of weeks, you don't have a quick boom, a quick recession, almost before you can see it,

3
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.000
is that the banking system, in order to validate the process, keeps inflating.

4
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.000
It's not a one-shot proposition. In order to keep the price of the other companies afloat,

5
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.000
they have to continue to increase the money supply, continue to inflate,

6
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.000
so as to allow, for example, Chrysler to buy more, finance their inventory more, as prices keep going up,

7
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.720
They don't have to get more bank credit to keep the thing going.

8
00:00:29.720 --> 00:00:32.840
It's like staying one step ahead of your heroin addict.

9
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:37.240
Let's say, increasing the dosage is staying one step ahead of retribution.

10
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:46.520
One step ahead of total collapse by getting a larger dose as they keep the whole inflationary boom afloat.
