Скачать или смотреть A Brief History of Inflation

In this video I do a whistle-stop tour of some of the most notorious Inflation events in history. We look at debasement of silver coinage in Rome, to the few occasions when the over supply of gold and silver, pushed prices upwards causing general price inflation. And wrapping up with the 20th century with over 50 hyperinflation events. What are we in for this time around?

Disclaimer: Nothing in this video should be taken as financial advise, although I have tried to be as accurate as possible with the coverage of historical events, I am aware that touching so briefly on these events will not include nuance. My purpose is to try to give some general context to the inflation events we are experiencing today. And my hope is that by looking at these historical events we may increase our awareness of what may be in store for us in the future.
