a glimmer of hope saying inflation in europe's biggest economy cookies from 11 to 7 percent and 2023 years to take of artie. contributor kristen: one of the most commonly used words this year was inflation, according to google searches for the word quadruple between 20202022. why? the sudden interest in this standard economic term inflation across the west search to unprecedented levels during 2022 hitting on average 11.5 percent across the u. while in the u. s. supposedly the world's strongest economy, inflation climb to as high as 9 point one percent. but what does that mean for you and i, let's use an example. let's say you head to the supermarket to do your weekly shot . and last is inflation was 0 percent. but this year, inflation is 10 percent. that means that you have 2 options. pay 10 percent more than you paid for the exact same shopping you bought at the exact same supermarket last year. or if you can't afford it or can't borrow enough to do so,
11:22 am
you'll need to remove 10 percent worth of the items from your trolley. that's pretty hard if you're trying to get by on the bare essentials. it sounds like something out of charles dickens novel doesn't it? but this is actually a reality that millions of people face this year. what's more, west and politicians appeared to be entirely clueless about the matter. take a look at bite and telling the world that u. s. inflation was 0 when reality it had reached a peak of 9 point one percent. actually, i just want to say number 0. today we received news with our economy had 0 percent inflation in the month of july 0 percent. that came as a shock to christine the god. the current head of the european central bank inflation has a just pretty much come about from nowhere. apparently, inflation came out of nowhere. this is even more shocking,
11:23 am
as before her current highly paid job, she had another such lucrative employment as the head of the international monetary fund. that's the institution that controls the monitors, the entire global financial system. but have no fear. western lead is equipped to provide us with an explanation why you guessed it. as per usual, it's all vladimir putin, it's false. today's place report, confirm what americans already know. prudent price, i consider america hard. make no mistake in places largely the fall approved photos invasion of ukraine is driven up gas prices and food prices all over the world. i'm going to do everything i can to minimize prudent price. i care at home, they fail to mention that over the past 24 months, the us and its allies printed of bossed amounts of money. not seemingly understanding, but for every single extra bank note you print. each bill becomes more and more worthless. thus giving this money to institutions and companies that have
11:24 am
a reduced amount of goods and services due to a more or less global lockdown would have a knock on effect. printing bossed amounts of money tends to always cause what economists call hyper inflation. even a basic history book who show you this. the 1st example in modern history was the $929.00 more st cross, which contributed to the dia, economic conditions in germany, which led in part to the rise of the hits law and the nazi party. there are now double the amounts of us dollars in circulation, then in 2019, no wonder inflation is through the roof. when there was twice as much of the wall was currency circulating for the same amount of goods and services that's down to economy is not growing substantially due to the freeze, forced upon the more or less by the global lockdown due to coven 19. so what's the solution, and how do we get back to normal? central banks feel that they have the answer. that's right. you and i need to pay more in order to fix the mess that they have caused. right now the central banks of
11:25 am
the u. s. e u and u. k. are increasing the rates that you and i have to pay for credits credit, but many of us are being forced into due to be inflated price of goods and services . these called interest rates, which is set at a baseline by all governments. the banks justify this by telling us that they are being hit by the rising goods and services. and if the charge is small so that they won't go bankrupt. that's not to mention the rob a possible claim that they also need to charge us more in order to fund billions upon billions of a few crane in order to combat the energy crisis caused by the sanctions on russian oil and gas done. we all wish that we could all fit our mortgage or credit card payments against someone else. unfortunately, the wall doesn't work like that for you and i, but it does for them. so what is the knock on effects of this? the less money you have, but less you are going to buy. once you've maxed out your credit card, which now costs even more the payoff due to the increased interest. you become significantly poor if you are poor up. so if your country and thus we start to see
11:26 am
a steep decline into. busy policy for entire countries. it isn't rocket funds to what this one out. but it's not all doom and gloom for some, especially if you are american inflation in the u. s. and across major european countries. so some kinds of flowing thanks to a number of restrictive measures conducted by institutions. halting among many things, the printing of yet more dollars into the now hyperinflation. casino, we call that global economy. u. s. lawmakers have just passed the inflation reduction act, which has been met with pure disbelief by lawmakers globally. but predominantly those in the u that have been seemingly nodding their heads and complying with us fiscal demands over the past few years with little to no resistance. this act is an isolation if policy by the united states, incentivizing domestic productions of goods, putting foreign partners out and forcing them to produce goods and services inside
11:27 am
the u. s. which, if added to the already ravaging energy crisis and sanctions will become a catastrophe for the global economy. this means that as goods and services are produced domestically in the us, they will become cheaper for us consumers. whereas for anyone else outside the us that is used to buying cars, made in their country of origin, prices will become boss lee more expensive. this further implies the price for the rest of us, but decreases the price for anyone in the us. in layman's terms, this will result in the us economy, but best thing, the effects of the past few years on bad people, but increasing the pain and suffering for every one else. the inflation reduction act has received so much additional scrutiny in europe and also in the rest of the world. there is a risk that the i r a can lead to unfair competition, could close markets. and the fragment,
11:28 am
the very same critical supply chains that have already been tested by colored we are in europe really at the point where we risk to be de industrialized. we have to react with strength now. so is it too late for global leaders to reverse the effects and counts of the us at this quite obvious game of his playing? well, the answer to that is difficult. the u. s. also controls the world's reserve currency, the us dollar. most global governments in that central bank hold large amounts of dollars and bonds. at deflated us economy means that the cost of buying dollars will decrease. will this be enough to save the global economy? in my view, this is a huge gamble, no wonder, so many countries have had enough and now moving away from holding and trading in us dollars. they are now opting to hold currencies that have not been printed like, monopoly money, such as the chinese one, the russian rouble,
11:29 am
even bitcoin. if the u. s. dollars ceases to be the be all and end, all of global finance. governments worldwide will have more sovereignty over their own finances in economies leading to a far more democratic, multi polar walls. that will be a true free market. something that the u. s. allegedly, fort, it's war of independence for what we also heard from geopolitical and market analysts. tom longo, who said that de dollarization trends just spoken about are a natural reaction to aggressive us economic policies. the, the u. s. is weaponized, the dollar author sanctions and, and of federal reserve policy and whatnot for a long, long time. and that weapons ation that which started really under obama, but continued under trumpet sanctions. and now has been turbocharged by, by, by biden, has just raised the cost of using dollars to a level that is making it very clear to other people that if they want to be able to control their own economies,
11:30 am
they're going to have to get off of the dollar in some way, and i think it's a very, it's just a natural reaction to what has been in a very aggressive policy on the part of the guy and says, the concept of the multiple or world that all we all talk about. i think really needs to be discussed in terms of currency. i do believe that to be the bricks. nations are working very, very quickly to create a regional reserve system for themselves of that i think is gonna be commodity based. and they've made it abundantly fair. this is what they want to do. the chinese have just made their half overtures to the saudis, to, for the so called petrow, you won by having the saudis and most of arab opec. i'll offer oil tenders on the shanghai exchange. i think that's a major, major event in geopolitical history. i think the united states in the dollar are going to survive in their own way. i think it's going to be regional. i think the world is going to break up in the multiple regional currency blocks.
