Life Under Communism - A Personal Account
What was it like to live under Communism? Economically life might have been challenging but in the countryside at the same time sweet.
This is an objective account of what it was like to live under Communism. Socialism and Marxism are not Communism. Communism was a surreal experience that has echoed through the generations shaping our world today.
Specifically, this is about the experience in Poland, in a village, and how Moscow or Russia imposed this system rather than a choice. The system was inefficient and poor and wreaked havoc on the environment. Yet the human spirit prevailed, and individuals could find beauty, hope, and innocence in daily life during Communism.
*Questions about Communism*
00:13 Why was there communism?
00:42 Were people poor under communism?
02:05 Was life better in the countryside or city under communism?
05:20 What was communist propaganda?
06:13 What did people think of the United States under communism?
07:23 What could you buy under communism?
08:56 Could you buy chocolate under communism?
10:23 Did you have freedom under communism?
11:00 Why did communism fall?

Why does the CPI and the Federal Reserve tell us there is low inflation and even deflation, yet health care, tuition, housing, food, etc are so expensive?
It does not make sense?
It makes perfect sense if you understand economics is not about aggregates prices but relative prices.

10-million-in-gold-or-cash-which-would-2
The three functions of money is a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account. As a store of value which does better fiat currency or gold?
Here is a test, to determine the answer: Which would you rather have 10 million in currency (paper bills) or gold, today if you could not touch it for ten years?
This brings us to the question, does the current monetary system which has severed the link to gold do a good job storing value? Why did we leave the gold standard?

SUPPL
supply-and-demand-basics
My Economics Website:
https://political-economy.com/
This video is intended to be a basic video on supply and demand. How to draw the supply and demand curve for an exam. Although it seems easy, students often confuse the y-axis and x-axis labels. They can not articulate what equilibrium is or what the price is. Therefore, I think this video can help with the simple elements of supply and demand in economics.
Some of the below videos will help you gain further insights into Supply and Demand concepts in Economics.

The Parable of the Broken Window illustrates Opportunity costs. It is not the cost we see, rather it is the cost we do not see that often matters most.
This idea can be used in every aspect of your life, and makes you think like an economist.
What are the choices and trade offs you are making in your life?

HOW T
how-the-federal-reserve-banks-causes
https://political-economy.com/can-money-be-neutral/
Neutral Money is a Myth
1)The Fed lowers the interest rate artificially creating Trillions of dollars "Out of Thin Air"
2) Money goes to the "first receivers" and then trickles down through the banking system to the "last receivers"
3) This Non-Neutral Money perpetuates inequality
What if the Fed did the opposite? If Monetary Policy the money over the last 100 years would go to the poor or middle class first than pennies to rich, what would be the effect on income distribution? Money is not neutral and the transmission mechanism for monetary policy exacerbates the Gini coefficient. I can not prove this is the primary cause for inequality but it is a cause. More research needs to be done into this relationship.
