    Imagine every one have a billion dollar, everybody buys their own private jet but the jet is not enough to meet the demands so they ask for bigger price. After buying the jet nobody can hire a pilot because all pilots are billionaires so you have to pay them more to hire them. In short the value of goods and services stays the same.

      it is not real money. It is called fake money. Many countries already did print money like crazy to pay off debt currently and in the past. If they can fix their economy and countries in certain amount of time. Other countries will probably accept their currency at some level as their currency value will rise and other countries monetary investment will get certain benefit from it, else It is just getting worst. Later on, other countries no longer trade with them anymore and stop accept their money as it becomes worthless over time. nobody wants to hold money that continously losing value over time as it is a bad investment.

    Printing more money does not necessarily mean there is more cash flow. If the Federal government printed 10000 trillion USD and put it in a bank account, then that money has no chance of causing inflation. You also ignore unemployment, people can be employed to produce more goods thus keeping price level the same.
    Zimbabwe - land reforms to redistribute resulted in catastrophic supply side losses which resulted in inflation and caused the printing of money. The printing of money was not the catalyst.

    Something missing from the explanation of hyperinflation is the decrease in productive capacity. You won’t get hyperinflation without the combination of increased purchasing power with decreased productive capacity.
    Money loses it’s value when people lose faith that the country will be able to repay their loans. That means you either need some significant decrease in your ability to pay, or you need to print an exorbitant amount of money. In pretty much every instance we have seen of hyperinflation, there is some significant decline in the productive capacity of the nation that accompanies the increased spending.

    The US government prints money, but it has to borrow it from the private Federal Reserve bank to do so. The US does not print money without borrowing it first. This is why paper money says "Federal Reserve Note" on the bill. The Federal Reserve owns the bill, and the US government is borrowing it. It's a promise for the US government to pay back this money it borrowed from the Federal Reserve private bank.

    Query,
    1. if the govt prints money to pay external debt how does that affect money supply in domestic markets? I mean you just pay it for external debt and not distribute to people in domestic markets.
    2. The problem with printing money is that it will lead to high demand. If the govt prints more money to boost supply at the same time, won't it solve the problem?

      1) what are they doing with that money? Where is it being stored? A lot of countries recieve US dollars as the US runs a trade deficit. They choose to store them in Treasury securities as they get interest 9n the money.
      2) you are assuming "printing money" leads to higher demand. If there was exactly 350M people in the US and the govt gave them all $1, would there be inflation? What about $5, $10, $20...etc. when does it cause inflation? It has more to do with productive capacity.

    It's not printing more money that's the problem, for government to create money to stimulate it's economy, they have to borrow that money which needs to be paid back plus any interest. This is what affected the likes of Zimbabwe and Germany in the 20's. Government needs to print/create money that doesn't need to be paid back and no interest attached. Abraham Lincoln did it and America's economy prospered. Sadly central banks eventually infiltrated America and was given exclusive power to create debt money that's also tied to interest. Today in the entire world all but a few countries have central banks. Therefore governments can't print/create more money, they can only borrow it and it's the tax payers that have to pay it back.
    Look at it this way, every time America so calls prints more money, the money they owe gets larger. If they printed the money then no one would be owed that money. It's a trick of words, they didn't print it, they borrowed it.

    It is very simplistic point of view. In general more money will appear in inflation. But in some specific situations even after big money stimulus we will not observe significantly higher inflation. It is all connected with the specific segments of the market (ex. Financial market/enormous companies) etc.
    So to sum up, countries can print a lot of money, without causing the inflation. But it is only possible in some very specific scenarios.

The economy of the USA is falling apart... The 0,001% has access to the 95% of the whole capital of the country, so the government is trying to cover that up, but they are failing. I am so sorry for the average person in the USA because they do not deserve this... However, I hope that the political establishment and the richest ones will die in pure pain because of the all democracy that they spread in the world by destroying other countries and killing millions of people.

      You need more than MMT to understand money and why this video is not so helpful. The big elephant in the room is that new money is primarily created not by the central bank, but by the commercial banking system on a constant ongoing basis - banks have the power to create money out of thin air …and then charge interest in it! Meanwhile the government which is the rights to create physical money, ends up borrowing and paying interest lol …just another way we get screwed by the 1%…
