This man is too powerful. 24 hours ago, he puts out a poll on who to make a video about first and then proceeds to rattle off a half-hour-long video about the dude.
GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI! he was a very positive historical figure who helped to unify Italy, from North to South. funny trivia include: he used a red shirt in battle so that his soldiers wouldn't see him bleeding, the campaign to unify Italy was called "campaign of the 1000" (referred to the number of soldiers in the "army"), he is referred as "the hero of the two worlds" because he helped the rebels in the Ragamuffin war (in Brazil) and was the leader of the civil war in Uruguay, in addition to his "adventures" in Italy.
Econ student here. To answer your question on debt, I imagine like in the real world, most of the debt would still be owed to the people, usually via bonds and similar methods of finance which can be used as funding for government affairs and for contractionary monetary policy, with people spending money to get more money late, the government usually encourages this by offering more bonds. That’s a bit of an oversimplification but it does seem that with World Economic Times being a thing the world government may give people the economic freedom to do that? Also for what it’s worth, the heavenly tribute definitely seems to be a method to control the populace even more than it is to give the Celestial Dragons money for stuff. If there is a competent individual running things at that top like Samurai Ghandi, they’ll know that taxes only work when the cost to escape the tax is less easy to procure than the cost of the tax. Considering countries in One Piece seem to collapse, rebel, and resort to piracy because of that tax, it doesn’t seem like it would be very good at collecting money at all, so if finance is a factor, that strife induced by the Heavenly Tribute may be part of Imu’s plan to control the world rather than strictly for the most profit possible Edit: Also, inflation should still be a thing. Even if currency is centralized, main issue of inflation comes in the lag time between how businesses, people, and governments all respond to inflation, leading to discrepancies as that inflation trickles down. I imagine on the scale of a world government with a lot of difficulties in travel between certain areas, those issues would be exacerbated. It might even be to the point where the West and East blue have very different standards of money for example
To me it looks like it is easy to control the money supply and with that Inflation. If you can fund everything you want and take everything you want as tax, Inflation should be less of an issue, since you control how much money is in the economy in total. I agree with the rest and especially that the Tax and potentially debt is just a way to control the populace rather than maximizing profit.
Econ finance student here, I agree inflation still exists since it usually impacts country-to-country trade policies and standard of living. As for the debt, I would assume that things like Bonds don’t exist in one piece since It’s a centralized currency used worldwide, the govt has no need to issue bonds to pay for their projects and salaries, they can just print more or redistribute the money to only people they want to have it. Just a theory tho since this economic model has never existed in the world we live in EVER so it’s difficult to determine for sure how it would work
@@beshoyyoussef2814 but the impacts are irrelevant to if it exists. Inflation usually happens because of economic contraction, overreliance on debt or increased government spending(example war) Its true that These causes have a trickle effect, but i dont See why the World government cant just reduce the m2 to force a Balance to Such factors.
The Japanese names for the five major planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Mars, Venus), the only ones that could be seen prior to the telescope, relate to the five elements or phases: wood, earth (soil), water, fire, and gold (or metal more generally). St. V. Nusjuro being in charge of finance and using a sword makes sense with the gold/metal element associated with Venus.
Wano was also once known as the Country of *Gold* ine the past as well, If his family did originate there, it could make sense as to why they're associated with finances
This whole arc has really shown me that Tekking has no fear of being wrong with his theories and is pretty spot with most of them regardless. That's very cool.
@@ThoseCloudyDaze does Moji deserve credit for going down with his metaphorical ship? Then again he did become a bit whiny/bitter towards Oda when the ship went completely down
@@TheSeptet Another Onepiece UA-camr, Morj, had this theory for a few years that the raid on Onigashima would fail and the Strawhats would have to regroup to fight Kaido again. It didn't make a lot of sense story-wise and really existed just because he didn't think Luffy could beat Kaido yet. The whole thing became a meme but there were plenty of people who believed it. When it didn't happen Morj was kinda butthurt about it but to be fair he got over it quickly. The reason it's still brought up is that some people won't even consider the possibility their theories wrong even after it's doesn't come true, or still think their idea is better.
@@jackroberts2704 The thing is they thought the raid would be like Water 7 not realizing the raid was like Arnie’s Lobby and that the Wano Arc before was the true Water 7 parallel.
Me watching Zoro get hit with the "One Sword Style: Stock Market Crash" attack from Gandhi. Can't wait to see how the Five Elder's and their fruits work/what possible mythos they're connected to.
Hi Tekking, Italian history student here. Garibaldi wasn't a dictator, he was a general and an influential leader during the Italian Unification, his figure is also important for Southern America as he led countless guerrilla actions against the colonizers.
@@vermilionrubin Yes, in other words, during his military campaign in the South, he released an official document to say that the Borbon family didn't rule there anymore and he made it official that he was *NOT* there to rule, but rather to wait for the Savoy king to arrive.
Because they only show up when something big happens like crocodile losing, Ohara,the end of the war, Doflamingo losing,reverie, and taking about Luffy devil fruit
As an accountant, this episode was particularly enjoyable. I think its more accurate to describe Samurai Gandi's function as a central bank since it seems the WG act more as a regulatory body and each member country has their own autonomy.
Petition to have Saturn be the last one you make a video about since we know he is headed to Egghead and that will be a smooth transition when Oda is back from his break
Is it weird that, now that we have these titles, I want to see the Gorosei actually govern? Like, I want a flashback of them discussing the implications of wiping out Ohara or trying to counter the growing influence of the Revolutionary Army. Something to give us an idea of how they govern.
Hi tekking, i'm a fan from Italy. Jay Garcia Saturn could be inspired by Giuseppe Garibaldi, who in the 19th century unifide South Italy and gave it to the king. In fact he landed in Sicily and from there he went up the italian peninsula, fighting from city to city, leading his army called The Expedition of the Thousands. He is now regared as one of the greatest italian patriots, who helped to create Italy as we know it today. I apologise for eventual errors or typos, and i hope i helped.
Nusjoro has to have a significant Wano connection. The Shodai Kitetsu could've been forged in Wano. Nusjoro sounds like a Wano name. Wano was known as the land of gold. His possible Buddhist theme also works in a fictional Japan setting, heck one of the scabbards was named Ashura.
The WG can probably borrow money from individual nations if they would need that, but they most likely do not. They are most certainly collecting more tax revenue than they spend in a year, which means that their treasury is growing year by year. Which makes sense, the WG doesn't need to bother itself with making sure to expand its expenditure to match its tax income. They rule the world after all. But if they ever decide to spend a lot of money in a very short period of time and it doesn't make all that much sense to crank up the heavenly tribute to levels that just don't make sense, especially considering that rebelling against the world government is an increasingly serious issue, they could still borrow money from individual nations and since they are the *WORLD GOVERNMENT* , there would be no doubt whatsoever in anybody's mind that the WG wouldn't be able pay that money back. Their credit rating must be beyond perfect in that sense. As a result, they can most likely borrow a lot of money with close to 0 percent interest rate. It is also very likely that some of the richer nations would lend money to the WG with actually 0 percent interest rate just to get on their good side. Knowing this would make borrowing very lucrative for the world government in comparison to just "tax all nations into oblivon." After all, if you tax all these nations real bad, their economy will not grow all that much, which means less taxes in the future. What makes me wonder is whether the WG has any businesses across the globe. THAT would be like the most profitable thing the WG can do, not to mention the additional influence one could exert onto individual nations if you say, have a monopoly on their textile industry or something.
It's not uncommon for most of the debt of a nation to be to a subset of rich citizens. So, in this case, the WG borrowing money from individual Tenryubito or rich individuals like Wapol.
Me, as an Italian, hearing Giussepi instead of Giuseppe (e in italian is pronunced as it is written "ə") at 1:00 having goosebumps... 😵💫 btw "Giuseppe Garibaldi" wasn't a dictator, but the man who united all the indipendent reigns of Italy forming in 1861 the country as we know it now. Quite an important figure in the Italian history! Let's see if Jay Garcia can hold up to that!
@vermilionrubin yes, but like for half a year... and it was just a title given by the king. He wasn't a dictator, and I guess unifying all those small countries together wasn't a small feat and came with some costs. The real dictator in Italy came many decades later, and everybody knows his name.
I genuinely believe that silhouette on Egg Head that was destroying things was St Jay Garcia (many people made the connection prior to his name's reveal and before he was shown to be going to Egghead. That means we actually might be having our first Strawhat x Gorosei encounter finally after nearly 20 years of their existence being known. We now know that he has a fruit, and his ability to zip around Egghead destroying cameras and things would make sense and back up that the Gorosei really do have end-game levels of power.
Was literally just thinking about this cause tekking brought up that it's been a minute since we seen the straw hats. And onces we get back to the straw hats. Things are going to be even more revealed. And this theory would be bonkers if correct
Although admittedly the floating veil thing has appeared a lot with Zoans, it is at its core a fairly common symbol of divinity in Japanese folklore. Matter of fact, awakened zoans were not the only ones with that decoration. The enire family of king Neptune had it, and also two members of the Wano ninja squad, referencing Raijin and Fujin, asian gods of wind and thunder. So I'm not putting any money on Ethan being a Zoan, I think it was really just something about being a warrior god.
I like to think there is a real deal one piece fan out there who got into one piece when it first came out in his 40’s and sitting there in his 60’s still keeping track of the story.
You could always talk about the seeming connection with the Wufang Shangdi aka the Five Faces of Heaven. There seems to be some pretty decent parallels to this group of Chinese gods and what we know about the Gorosei. If Jaygarcia Saturn is a reference to the musician Jerry Garcia, I wonder what Ethan-Baron V Nusjuro is a reference to? The closest I can come up with is Ethan Bortnick, a relatively famous Ukranian musician. I wonder if there's some tie with musician names and the Gorosei because of Bink's Sake? Imagine if his Devil Fruit turns out to be a beckoning cat like with the statues, and he actually CAN throw money around like Meowth with Payday. I"ve seen some people speculate that his shadow is actually a snake. That could fit, and that way he can basically BE a giant sword. As far as the economic system of the One Piece world...it kind of depends on what the goal of the World Government actually IS? It's been vague so far, so they might NOT actually care about lowering unemployment or being fiscally responsible. Most likely, you should think about it like a feudal system. Like the World Government being "The Emperor", and the various countries like Dressrossa being the various "Shoguns" or "Lords" that govern the various regions they control. The WG MIGHT just be paying for the Marines and the excesses for the Celestial Dragons. I don't think they're paying for roads or hospitals or improvements to these various countries. And I VERY much doubt that the things that the Celestial Dragons "seize" from the commoners are things they can write off on their taxes, the commoners just have to eat that loss. So, yeah, I think a more feudal economic system fits with this world, just scaled up.
I'm picturing Ethan having the exact powers of Czar Baldy Bald the IV's Heavenly King Halekulani from BOBOBOBOBOBO with the power to use attacks based around money.
There is this thought that the OnePiece world has multiple moons, why? All the evidence we have is that globe-thing in Ohara, that could just be the geocentric hypothesis of the star system they inhabit. We do not ever see even a hint of a second moon, especially not mentioned, which is weird for how important the moon is in the story.
honestly i could see Oda still keeping the romantic tones for Venus, applying those sort of idea's to an old man seems like it would fit Oda's sense of humor, and after flirty drunk Kaido it wouldn't feel out of place at all, maybe its some part of his power even?
He probably also dealt with Wano and borrowing from them perhaps? Like the sea prism stone. Just a theory though. Maybe thats how he got the sword as well he lowkey fell in love with the nation but kept his loyalty to IMU
What people often forget about irl Ghandi is that he's one of the most powerful warriors in history. He managed to beat the entire british raj without a single act of violence. You have to be pretty powerful to manage something like that in my book.
Finally, my Econ MA degree will come in handy) Tekking was mostly correct and mentioned the most important parts of what Samurai Ghandi would have as his job. There are a few interesting economics things that stem from the fact that the world is run by the World Government. Debt is one: obviously, the works government has no foreign debt. At least not in any meaningful way, although you could easily consider the WG’s deals with Wano a basis to having some foreign debt, the transactions are not instantaneous after all. Government debt is another thing, however, because the government can borrow from its own citizens as well. In our world it is called bonds, and of course the WG can just extort money as taxes from the poorer nations without repercussions, but it could still make sense for them to issue some sort of bonds so the rich nations and the world nobles could invest additional money. Another thing is inflation, and one centralized government doesn’t mean no inflation. Samurai Ghandi would have to control the money printing process, the banking system (which would likely imply running a central bank), the stock market (or it’s equivalent) and everything else that can normally regulate itself at least somewhat in the free market. Really interesting stuff, but we likely won’t hear anything about it in the original story(
To answer your question, I’m a senior finance major and inflation doesn’t change if there’s a central world government or multiple Governments in terms of trade. In multi-government systems the inflation of one currency affects trade policies, but because it’s a world government in OP with only one currency there is no real trade issue bc they only use one currency. so inflation would work the same way--print too much, currency is worthless. Print too little and currency also becomes worthless. The upside honestly is that if the WG can print as much as it can because it controls so many assets (world population and world countries) dilution doesn’t exist. That’s how they can get away with huge millions and billions bounties among many pirates. And if they print too much, bc it’s only one currency, it’s easier to retract that currency back into the treasury and destroy it. Downside is in the people living in the system. There’s no checks and balances bc it’s only ONE govt and not many, so the world govt can control who is wealthy and who is poor very easily--which is obviously what’s happening in OP Everything I said was SUPER watered down so it’s easy for non-Econ majors to understand
THIS is why I come to you Tekking! Lotta people on tiktok skip over the whole Venus being "Gold Star" in japanese, which when you look at it like that it makes perfect sense why the planet named after gold would be the planet in charge of the money!
Having Juro at the end of his name makes me think that all the theories about him being from wano are true. V. nusjuro, Zorojuro, Kanjuro. Just a random thought. I could be totally wrong here.
St Jaygarcia Saturn is based in part on Giuseppe Garibaldi. He is considered one of the greatest generals of modern times and one of the founders of the modern political state of Italy. So great was his military prowess that even President Lincoln considered hiring him during the civil war. He wasn’t a dictator but a revolutionary leader who supported revolutions in Latin America as well. He wanted a democratic Republican state of Italian, which Italy is today, but pragmatically allied himself with monarchists, knowing their alliance could bring about a United Italy, which it did. Many Italian homes from the period (and some today) have portraits of him in their home and he was very popular amongst the peasant class of Italy. It makes sense this Gorosei is named after him. Jaygarcia Saturn leads the scientific defense, so modern warfare heavily depends on science. He had admiration for vegapunk, a non noble, and appears to be one of the more down to earth of the Gorosei
If Ethan is in fact an Asura he may have multiple arms and that have give reason for all three cursed swords to be in the same place at the same time. That way one of Zoro's final opponents may use the same sword style as him
Actually the American government does not want inflation as low as possible. While they tend to want it fairly low around 2-3%. This is because very low inflation or deflation encourages saving money and not spending it in the economy. This was actually a problem before the lock down where central banks were dealing with stubbornly low inflation.
Can you explain what each of the gorosei do in their free time and also what their social standings are in the office like who’s the funny guy, teachers pet, etc
Tekking you keep saying that the surname of the Gorosei are their names. If you look at the same chapter you will see that it is wrong, because we see two other Celestial Dragons, Saint Figarland Garling and Saint Donquixote Mjosgard and they clearly have the names in the normal Japanese sequence and the rest of the One Piece characters: Surname (Figarland and Donquixote) + Name (Garling and Mjosgard). So no, his name is not Ethanbaron, that's his family name, his name is Nusjuro, same goes for all other Gorosei.
Yeah, I think Tekking got really caught up in the Ethan part of the name, since that's normally a first name in our world, but really it might be easier to call the character Saint Nusjuro of house Ethanbaron. Also, this is a minor peeve, but seeing so many comments call the character Samurai "Ghandi" instead of the accepted spelling which is "Gandhi" is sort of disappointing.
@@ToasterPizzaFun Yep, it's like Whitebeard and Weevil's last name, which is Edward, which is normally a first name in real life. The Gandhi thing reminds me of Ahsoka from Star Wars, which a lot of people misspell as Ashoka.
Hey Matt, what if Zunesha is Lili Nefertari? It was stated that Zunesha committed a crime 800 years ago… what if that’s what Imu was saying about Lili distributing the Poneglyphs around the world. This would also explain Zuneshas connection to Joy Boy and Lili’s disappearance. She didn’t disappear she was instead turned into Zunesha by Im who could have done the same to the Gorosei in the last chapter. Since devil fruits are hated by “Mother Nature” or “Creator of the World” I don’t think it would make sense for them to have Devil Fruits but to instead be influenced by Imu’s ‘divine’ power. Lemme know your thoughts, I think it’d make for an interesting video and thanks for the content love your videos!!!

As an economics major, I think the world government or Samurai Gandi doesn't have to worry about inflation or anything like that. The concept of singular currency makes it so that the value of money doesn't change and never has to change as the factors affecting the value of a currency is determined mainly due to there being a lot of currency in the world. I don't know how to explain this but, the world government operates as a singular nation overruling "smaller nations" all the tax collected from the world is collected by the world government much like our own. And regarding inflation there won't be any reasons for it occurring as the world government never has to over print money for its expenditure, we see many nations in a brink of collapse due to poverty and lack of self-reliance. The WG is basically collecting money from the nations and distributing/spending only a fraction of its income. This should cause the value of money to increase in the real world however in the case of WG there isn't a secondary/ another currency to compare the "strength" or demand of that currency. I know I just said a bunch of words that might not make any sense, but basically the economy has to be theoretically stable with no risk of inflation and change in its value. "In short the world government can be compared to a singular country irl and the nations can be compared to its states/districts." (Sorry for butchering the explanation, there are loads and loads of factors and points to be explained regarding this topic, for which I'm not qualified enough to share)
Herr Tekking, thanks for amazing video. Love your content. Btw would you think that Imu has a stronger version of darkness fruit that Teach has ? Best from Berlin.
What if Ethan Nusjuro is called the Finance God because what if he is in charge of the Government collecting the Heavenly Tribute or what if he made the Heavenly Tribute.
Holy Imu, so Jaygarcia is based on Giuseppe Garibaldi?? Cool. He is an important figure for the culture of the south part of Brasil where I live! Anyway here are some cool facts about him: He was known as a revolutionary of sorts and basically helped "Rio Grande do Sul" on a fight for independence He has a famous feat of crossing his ship through the continent, yes through land, in order to avoid capture and then show up hundreds of kilometers away on sea! He is known as "the hero of two worlds" for helping in two wars of independence, one of Italy and the other on Rio Grande do Sul He died of old age despite having fought on many wars
In terms of World Debt, the WG might do two things: 1) And most likely: Track the debt of individual countries among each other to properly plan out how taxation and general economic flux would impact that country (probably working alongside the Marines and the CPs to plan for countermeasures in case of rebellions or rampant crime) 2) Maybe the WG is indebted to the lords of the underworld, you know, Stussy, Morgan, and the other massive zaibatsu-esque lords of One Piece.
Here is a little letter on the basics of macro economics. Essentially, Economic Policy is good when it stimulates growth. The points you give are somewhat correct, since the main input factors of an Economy are capital and workforce. Low Inflation is good, too much Inflation without or with little growth is bad, because people are less likely to work for a currency that isnt worth anything in a month. Deflation is similarly bad since it reduces the output of an economy, because people dont invest as much money since keeping it increases its value, therefore capital is going down. Having a low unemployment rate is also good since it increases the available workforce and high gdp is just the result of working economic policies. This sounds very easy to do in the one piece world, since the monetary policy seems very easy to control. Money in the end is just an exchange good. There is a demand for it and you want that demand to be met, which is based on your entire economic output compared to other times(stable prices). If the government can take money away and give it out at free will, it is way easier to hit the sweet spot of how much money should be in circulation. The heavenly tribute is not very comparable to our real world, since the government cant be voted out of power. Therefore not as much money if anything is going back to the population, which makes it more comparable to some factories in the victorian age, but less comparable to something in our world now. Managing debt is an interesting one. It is a major tool to increase money supply in our system today, which isnt needed here. In the one piece world, i would say the only reason to use them is to make "investments" into certain areas look legitimate. If they say vegapunk is allowed to take a huge loan for his experiments, then it seems fairer to any other aspiring scientist, since they dont have the burden of the debt that vegapunk has. In the way they probably did it, where they just gave him all the ressources he needed, it just look like favoritism. But then again, i dont think the World Government really cares. I dont see how manufacturing currency is a problem, unless other kingdoms are able to print their own berries, which is probably not the case somehow.
Hello, this Italian dude you were talking about is Giuseppe Garibaldi, a main figure in Italian history who played a major role during the unification of Italy. He is a very controversial character, and according to who is telling you the story, he is considered or a liberator who fought for democracy or a conqueror and oppressor who fought for a king. The fact is that he started his political carier as a republican, but he ended up fighting for the noble of house Savoia in order to make Vittorio Emanuele II of Piemont the first King of Italy. History is always told by the winners, so in official history Garibaldi is considered a national hero. But more recent historians have put a different pictures on him and on the unification of Italy in general. According to some, the so called 'unification' has been more a 'colonisation' for the countries of southern Italy. After the unification, schools in southern Italy have been closed for 16 years and the southern living condition started to get harder and harder, causing rebellions all over south Italy, and forcing the new ruler to hard and bloody oppression. Intresting is that an organisation of rebells has been set in motion in those years, the so called "brigantismo', which actually has some similarities with the revolutionary army of the OP story. Dont know if Oda really got ispired from Garbibaldi to create that character, or how well hi knows italian history, but it's intresting that the themes of acctually history and fictional history in these case are very similar...
Hey Tekking,Economics student here! Most of what you said is correct, however this comment is more to add to what you said “Tax policies” would in this case refer to fiscal policy, deciding on the methods of gov revenue collection and reduction of gov spending. This includes adjusting the rate of tax (how much a certain country would pay in terms of materials, which would be variable in this case because of the scale of each kingdom’s wealth) Another way of acquiring revenue is through gov bonds. Bonds are essentially loans that the gov takes on you (with consent obviously) for a certain period of time. Throughout this period of time, the gov will give you coupons, a percentage of interest of your loan. This, however incurs gov debt. Debt would probably not be an issue because of the sheer size of the heavenly tribute. But in the real world most countries, like the US are in constant deficit because of massive debt to other countries like China. Inflation would still happen based on if growth was too high because increases in aggregate demand (consumption, investment, gov spending and exports minus imports)which is demand pull inflation and if resources become scare (cost push inflation). Quantifying a currency’s value requires other countries with different currencies demanding another currency meaning yes the world gov would set the prices for commodities but probably not the prices of a kingdom’s goods and services. If anyone wants to correct me, feel free in the replies as I’m still studying but I’m glad if this helped you. 😁
Perhaps the Gorosei don’t have devil fruits persay, but hold power over specific types of Devil Fruits. For example, Samurai Gandhi could hold power over Awakened Zoans. If we go by the idea that the Gorosei are pieces of Imu (the sea), perhaps Devil Fruits originally came from Imu, and (s)he wishes to reclaim them.
As a Master degree holder in economics and Advance finance architecture- Here is the detail I could provide- There are two types of debt one is public debt and the other one is debt from a finance organisation- Now public debt is most common when a country sign a treasury bill or bonds with certain interest rate people buy them and government gets the money However a financial institution is like broker so it take investment and give interest to first party while giving out loan to other party with 3-7 percent margin . Let’s say A want to invest money B is broker and C need money A will give money to B with interest rate of 5 percent B is broker and he will lend that Money to C with interest of 9 percent. So the 4 percent is the earning of B. Now applied to it world bank it take money from countries and give them interest it’s between 3-5 percent while it give out loans or bailouts to other countries with interest rate between 6-9 percent. So world government having all money doesn’t mean it has no debt because it still need debt to run the world economy for every quarter while you can only collect tax once In a year also natural phenomenon could also affect tax for example agriculture it’s not stable income so tax sometimes can go up or down but world government employees will get same salary every year does needing samurai Gandhi to take loans from public and kings .
i think it’s possible that Samurai Ghandi has the mythical fruit of the sword god Ryuma. Ryuma was dubbed the Sword God because of his legendary existence, and its definitely possible that someone’s dream to become like Ryuma could’ve created the sword god devil fruit. Since Ghandi very likely had the shodai kitetsu and has the name Nasujuro (sounds like a wano name ex. ‘Zorojuro’), itd be very cool if Zoro can face Ghandi as another step towards becoming the world’s greatest swordsman. Itd also be cool as it can be symbolic of Zoro surpassing his ancestor.
As a economic bachelor, if I had to explain national debt I would describe it as a half eaten sandwich. The part that’s eaten is the dept, it’s already spend you can’t really reduce it in that sense. In this case to reduce the debt you would eat the bread over a longer period of time but you can’t just reduce the debt by pumping money into it. Sry if it’s hard to understand by the example but trust me my university didn’t give any better ones
As a guy that studies economics, one of the most interesting things is the paradox & how our government fails to address it. How do you slow down inflation? By cutting government spending & raising taxes. Governments do this really well. How do you end a recession? By raising government spending & dropping taxes. If you're wondering where they get the money to raise their spending with less tax money, so do they. That's the paradox. *Back in the 80s or 90s a solution was suggested. Save the excess money from inflated times to use during recessions. CONGRESS DECIDED TO GIVE THEMSELVES PAY RAISES INSTEAD!* 14:45 - They would still owe debts to private businesses, like *Galley-La.* It was stated that Iceberg bleeded them dry for their Battleships. They would also owe debts to countries *outside* of the World Government, like *Wano.* Orochi was also charging a fortune for Seaprism stone. 17:00 - That's how hyperinflation & *the great depression* starts! 20:00 - She's also the goddess of war! 26:35 - It could be Kotetsu & Hitetsu are titles used by the Shogunate. Blacksmiths were held in high regard in Japan, so the Daimyo & Shogun being prominent smiths makes sense.
Giuseppe Garibaldi was not an Italian Dictator. He was instrumental in the unification of Italy and was a great commander of soldier, better than most other actual italian generals at the time. He wanted to create a Republic but ended up giving the rest of Italy that he "conquered" to the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont, effectily creating Italy.
The berry is approximate in value to yen, which is a very inflated currency. Debt is really not an issue when you control everything anyway, but in order to control that economy, the world government can just turn on the money printer. Although they can just decide the berry isnt inflated and it all of a sudden isnt
What is very interesting is that the planets that Oda chose coincide with the planets associated with the 5 Chinese elements, wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Samurai Gandhi would be associated with metal in this case.

Hey Tekking, while transposing country financials to World Gov financials is pretty interesting, I personally would lean more towards World Bank and IMF for our World's financials and try to superimpose that to World Gov, anyways awesome video as always!!
With this new video series, talking about the five Elder stars, at least the current amount of information that we have of them right now, can’t wait for the next part of this video series when we finally see what type of powers or devil fruits that they fully have on the battlefield
One thing I’ve thought of, perhaps the World Government acts as a World Bank, facilitating centralised trade and treasury for all serf nations, and creating a globalised economy. It would provide a carrot to incentivise serf nations to remain compliant, as it occurs to me that sticks would have only worked for so long.
Your comment on Ethan’s transformation being due to the demon inside his sword gave me an idea. What if all the Gorosei have an item given to them by Imu that allows their transformation? We see Garcia always carrying around the cane, Ethan has his sword, and Oda’s saving the other items for when the Gorosei fight someone. It would give Imu a more interesting ability, and we wouldn’t just get a whole bunch of new Mythical Zoans from the Gorosei.
Hey Tekking. Teacher here! Most if not all countries have a bank. The function of these banks are threefold. 1. Loaning money to other banks, 2. Make sure that inflation is not going up too much (around 2% each year), 3. Printing money. If the gouvernment can take out infinite loans (and not pay back) they will have too much money, yeah thats a thing! If its really easy to get money the currency will lose value and you'll have inflation. The gouvernment will cripple itself if it just keep on loaning and printing money, its even more dangerous than the will of D. 😂 If you want to learn more about it look up inflation stories about countries in Africa, Germany and Argentinia

Econ student here. To answer your question on debt, I imagine like in the real world, most of the debt would still be owed to the people, usually via bonds and similar methods of finance which can be used as funding for government affairs and for contractionary monetary policy, with people spending money to get more money late, the government usually encourages this by offering more bonds. That’s a bit of an oversimplification but it does seem that with World Economic Times being a thing the world government may give people the economic freedom to do that?
Also for what it’s worth, the heavenly tribute definitely seems to be a method to control the populace even more than it is to give the Celestial Dragons money for stuff. If there is a competent individual running things at that top like Samurai Ghandi, they’ll know that taxes only work when the cost to escape the tax is less easy to procure than the cost of the tax.
Considering countries in One Piece seem to collapse, rebel, and resort to piracy because of that tax, it doesn’t seem like it would be very good at collecting money at all, so if finance is a factor, that strife induced by the Heavenly Tribute may be part of Imu’s plan to control the world rather than strictly for the most profit possible
Edit: Also, inflation should still be a thing. Even if currency is centralized, main issue of inflation comes in the lag time between how businesses, people, and governments all respond to inflation, leading to discrepancies as that inflation trickles down. I imagine on the scale of a world government with a lot of difficulties in travel between certain areas, those issues would be exacerbated. It might even be to the point where the West and East blue have very different standards of money for example
To me it looks like it is easy to control the money supply and with that Inflation. If you can fund everything you want and take everything you want as tax, Inflation should be less of an issue, since you control how much money is in the economy in total.
I agree with the rest and especially that the Tax and potentially debt is just a way to control the populace rather than maximizing profit.
Econ finance student here, I agree inflation still exists since it usually impacts country-to-country trade policies and standard of living.
As for the debt, I would assume that things like Bonds don’t exist in one piece since It’s a centralized currency used worldwide, the govt has no need to issue bonds to pay for their projects and salaries, they can just print more or redistribute the money to only people they want to have it. Just a theory tho since this economic model has never existed in the world we live in EVER so it’s difficult to determine for sure how it would work
@@beshoyyoussef2814 but the impacts are irrelevant to if it exists.
Inflation usually happens because of economic contraction, overreliance on debt or increased government spending(example war)
Its true that These causes have a trickle effect, but i dont See why the World government cant just reduce the m2 to force a Balance to Such factors.
The Japanese names for the five major planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Mars, Venus), the only ones that could be seen prior to the telescope, relate to the five elements or phases: wood, earth (soil), water, fire, and gold (or metal more generally). St. V. Nusjuro being in charge of finance and using a sword makes sense with the gold/metal element associated with Venus.
Wano was also once known as the Country of *Gold* ine the past as well, If his family did originate there, it could make sense as to why they're associated with finances

Hi Tekking, Italian history student here.
Garibaldi wasn't a dictator, he was a general and an influential leader during the Italian Unification, his figure is also important for Southern America as he led countless guerrilla actions against the colonizers.
" On 14 May 1860 in Salemi, Garibaldi announced that he was assuming dictatorship over Sicily, in the name of Victor Emmanuel II of Italy."

Hi tekking, i'm a fan from Italy.
Jay Garcia Saturn could be inspired by Giuseppe Garibaldi, who in the 19th century unifide South Italy and gave it to the king.
In fact he landed in Sicily and from there he went up the italian peninsula, fighting from city to city, leading his army called The Expedition of the Thousands.
He is now regared as one of the greatest italian patriots, who helped to create Italy as we know it today.

Nusjoro has to have a significant Wano connection. The Shodai Kitetsu could've been forged in Wano. Nusjoro sounds like a Wano name. Wano was known as the land of gold. His possible Buddhist theme also works in a fictional Japan setting, heck one of the scabbards was named Ashura.
The WG can probably borrow money from individual nations if they would need that, but they most likely do not. They are most certainly collecting more tax revenue than they spend in a year, which means that their treasury is growing year by year. Which makes sense, the WG doesn't need to bother itself with making sure to expand its expenditure to match its tax income. They rule the world after all. But if they ever decide to spend a lot of money in a very short period of time and it doesn't make all that much sense to crank up the heavenly tribute to levels that just don't make sense, especially considering that rebelling against the world government is an increasingly serious issue, they could still borrow money from individual nations and since they are the *WORLD GOVERNMENT* , there would be no doubt whatsoever in anybody's mind that the WG wouldn't be able pay that money back. Their credit rating must be beyond perfect in that sense. As a result, they can most likely borrow a lot of money with close to 0 percent interest rate. It is also very likely that some of the richer nations would lend money to the WG with actually 0 percent interest rate just to get on their good side. Knowing this would make borrowing very lucrative for the world government in comparison to just "tax all nations into oblivon." After all, if you tax all these nations real bad, their economy will not grow all that much, which means less taxes in the future. What makes me wonder is whether the WG has any businesses across the globe. THAT would be like the most profitable thing the WG can do, not to mention the additional influence one could exert onto individual nations if you say, have a monopoly on their textile industry or something.
They don't have to borrow. They can take it.
@@davidortiz3094 That comes with its own downsides if you've read my comment.
OMG
Real life is so much worse lol
It's not uncommon for most of the debt of a nation to be to a subset of rich citizens. So, in this case, the WG borrowing money from individual Tenryubito or rich individuals like Wapol.
Ill miss Samurai Gandhi. I don't think ill use his real name.
Me, as an Italian, hearing Giussepi instead of Giuseppe (e in italian is pronunced as it is written "ə") at 1:00 having goosebumps... 😵💫 btw "Giuseppe Garibaldi" wasn't a dictator, but the man who united all the indipendent reigns of Italy forming in 1861 the country as we know it now. Quite an important figure in the Italian history! Let's see if Jay Garcia can hold up to that!
"On 14 May 1860 in Salemi, Garibaldi announced that he was assuming dictatorship over Sicily, in the name of Victor Emmanuel II of Italy."
@vermilionrubin yes, but like for half a year... and it was just a title given by the king. He wasn't a dictator, and I guess unifying all those small countries together wasn't a small feat and came with some costs. The real dictator in Italy came many decades later, and everybody knows his name.
I genuinely believe that silhouette on Egg Head that was destroying things was St Jay Garcia (many people made the connection prior to his name's reveal and before he was shown to be going to Egghead. That means we actually might be having our first Strawhat x Gorosei encounter finally after nearly 20 years of their existence being known. We now know that he has a fruit, and his ability to zip around Egghead destroying cameras and things would make sense and back up that the Gorosei really do have end-game levels of power.
Was literally just thinking about this cause tekking brought up that it's been a minute since we seen the straw hats. And onces we get back to the straw hats. Things are going to be even more revealed. And this theory would be bonkers if correct
Italian here . In Italy Garibaldi Is respected as the hero Who united Italy in 1861.

Although admittedly the floating veil thing has appeared a lot with Zoans, it is at its core a fairly common symbol of divinity in Japanese folklore. Matter of fact, awakened zoans were not the only ones with that decoration. The enire family of king Neptune had it, and also two members of the Wano ninja squad, referencing Raijin and Fujin, asian gods of wind and thunder.
So I'm not putting any money on Ethan being a Zoan, I think it was really just something about being a warrior god.

You could always talk about the seeming connection with the Wufang Shangdi aka the Five Faces of Heaven. There seems to be some pretty decent parallels to this group of Chinese gods and what we know about the Gorosei.
If Jaygarcia Saturn is a reference to the musician Jerry Garcia, I wonder what Ethan-Baron V Nusjuro is a reference to? The closest I can come up with is Ethan Bortnick, a relatively famous Ukranian musician. I wonder if there's some tie with musician names and the Gorosei because of Bink's Sake?
Imagine if his Devil Fruit turns out to be a beckoning cat like with the statues, and he actually CAN throw money around like Meowth with Payday.
I"ve seen some people speculate that his shadow is actually a snake. That could fit, and that way he can basically BE a giant sword.
As far as the economic system of the One Piece world...it kind of depends on what the goal of the World Government actually IS? It's been vague so far, so they might NOT actually care about lowering unemployment or being fiscally responsible. Most likely, you should think about it like a feudal system. Like the World Government being "The Emperor", and the various countries like Dressrossa being the various "Shoguns" or "Lords" that govern the various regions they control. The WG MIGHT just be paying for the Marines and the excesses for the Celestial Dragons. I don't think they're paying for roads or hospitals or improvements to these various countries. And I VERY much doubt that the things that the Celestial Dragons "seize" from the commoners are things they can write off on their taxes, the commoners just have to eat that loss. So, yeah, I think a more feudal economic system fits with this world, just scaled up.
And that’s how an Empire falls
I'm picturing Ethan having the exact powers of Czar Baldy Bald the IV's Heavenly King Halekulani from BOBOBOBOBOBO with the power to use attacks based around money.
That manga and anime is beautiful
There is this thought that the OnePiece world has multiple moons, why? All the evidence we have is that globe-thing in Ohara, that could just be the geocentric hypothesis of the star system they inhabit. We do not ever see even a hint of a second moon, especially not mentioned, which is weird for how important the moon is in the story.
honestly i could see Oda still keeping the romantic tones for Venus, applying those sort of idea's to an old man seems like it would fit Oda's sense of humor, and after flirty drunk Kaido it wouldn't feel out of place at all, maybe its some part of his power even?
Samurai Gandhi does have immaculate rizz
He WAS the most eye catching gorosei, after all

He probably also dealt with Wano and borrowing from them perhaps? Like the sea prism stone. Just a theory though. Maybe thats how he got the sword as well he lowkey fell in love with the nation but kept his loyalty to IMU
Definitely. Nusjoro sounds like a Wano name. Wano was also known as a land of gold.

Finally, my Econ MA degree will come in handy)
Tekking was mostly correct and mentioned the most important parts of what Samurai Ghandi would have as his job.
There are a few interesting economics things that stem from the fact that the world is run by the World Government.
Debt is one: obviously, the works government has no foreign debt. At least not in any meaningful way, although you could easily consider the WG’s deals with Wano a basis to having some foreign debt, the transactions are not instantaneous after all. Government debt is another thing, however, because the government can borrow from its own citizens as well. In our world it is called bonds, and of course the WG can just extort money as taxes from the poorer nations without repercussions, but it could still make sense for them to issue some sort of bonds so the rich nations and the world nobles could invest additional money.
Another thing is inflation, and one centralized government doesn’t mean no inflation. Samurai Ghandi would have to control the money printing process, the banking system (which would likely imply running a central bank), the stock market (or it’s equivalent) and everything else that can normally regulate itself at least somewhat in the free market.
Really interesting stuff, but we likely won’t hear anything about it in the original story(
Giuseppe garibaldi is the dude that unified italy at the end of the 19 century, saturn always had me more like marx vibes tbh😁
To answer your question, I’m a senior finance major and inflation doesn’t change if there’s a central world government or multiple
Governments in terms of trade. In multi-government systems the inflation of one currency affects trade policies, but because it’s a world government in OP with only one currency there is no real trade issue bc they only use one currency. so inflation would work the same way--print too much, currency is worthless. Print too little and currency also becomes worthless.
The upside honestly is that if the WG can print as much as it can because it controls so many assets (world population and world countries) dilution doesn’t exist. That’s how they can get away with huge millions and billions bounties among many pirates. And if they print too much, bc it’s only one currency, it’s easier to retract that currency back into the treasury and destroy it.
Downside is in the people living in the system. There’s no checks and balances bc it’s only ONE govt and not many, so the world govt can control who is wealthy and who is poor very easily--which is obviously what’s happening in OP
Everything I said was SUPER watered down so it’s easy for non-Econ majors to understand
THIS is why I come to you Tekking! Lotta people on tiktok skip over the whole Venus being "Gold Star" in japanese, which when you look at it like that it makes perfect sense why the planet named after gold would be the planet in charge of the money!
Having Juro at the end of his name makes me think that all the theories about him being from wano are true. V. nusjuro, Zorojuro, Kanjuro. Just a random thought. I could be totally wrong here.
Additionally, he seems like the most aggressive out of all Gorosei. Iirc he was the one to order the killing of Clover
I'm pretty sure he and Saturn were not there. From what I remember Jupiter (Ju Peter) was the one to order the shooting of Clover

Congratulations Tekking, you discovered the World Bank, now you're one step closer to making a real world Im analogy.
St Jaygarcia Saturn is based in part on Giuseppe Garibaldi. He is considered one of the greatest generals of modern times and one of the founders of the modern political state of Italy. So great was his military prowess that even President Lincoln considered hiring him during the civil war. He wasn’t a dictator but a revolutionary leader who supported revolutions in Latin America as well. He wanted a democratic Republican state of Italian, which Italy is today, but pragmatically allied himself with monarchists, knowing their alliance could bring about a United Italy, which it did. Many Italian homes from the period (and some today) have portraits of him in their home and he was very popular amongst the peasant class of Italy.
It makes sense this Gorosei is named after him. Jaygarcia Saturn leads the scientific defense, so modern warfare heavily depends on science. He had admiration for vegapunk, a non noble, and appears to be one of the more down to earth of the Gorosei
If Ethan is in fact an Asura he may have multiple arms and that have give reason for all three cursed swords to be in the same place at the same time.
That way one of Zoro's final opponents may use the same sword style as him

Actually the American government does not want inflation as low as possible. While they tend to want it fairly low around 2-3%. This is because very low inflation or deflation encourages saving money and not spending it in the economy. This was actually a problem before the lock down where central banks were dealing with stubbornly low inflation.

Can you explain what each of the gorosei do in their free time and also what their social standings are in the office like who’s the funny guy, teachers pet, etc
Samurai Ghandi being Greed just feels right. We liked him the most and Greed or Pride is usually the most emphasized of the 7 deadly sins in anime.
Tekking you keep saying that the surname of the Gorosei are their names.
If you look at the same chapter you will see that it is wrong, because we see two other Celestial Dragons, Saint Figarland Garling and Saint Donquixote Mjosgard and they clearly have the names in the normal Japanese sequence and the rest of the One Piece characters: Surname (Figarland and Donquixote) + Name (Garling and Mjosgard).
So no, his name is not Ethanbaron, that's his family name, his name is Nusjuro, same goes for all other Gorosei.
Yeah, I think Tekking got really caught up in the Ethan part of the name, since that's normally a first name in our world, but really it might be easier to call the character Saint Nusjuro of house Ethanbaron.
Also, this is a minor peeve, but seeing so many comments call the character Samurai "Ghandi" instead of the accepted spelling which is "Gandhi" is sort of disappointing.

She didn’t disappear she was instead turned into Zunesha by Im who could have done the same to the Gorosei in the last chapter.

As an economics major, I think the world government or Samurai Gandi doesn't have to worry about inflation or anything like that. The concept of singular currency makes it so that the value of money doesn't change and never has to change as the factors affecting the value of a currency is determined mainly due to there being a lot of currency in the world. I don't know how to explain this but, the world government operates as a singular nation overruling "smaller nations" all the tax collected from the world is collected by the world government much like our own. And regarding inflation there won't be any reasons for it occurring as the world government never has to over print money for its expenditure, we see many nations in a brink of collapse due to poverty and lack of self-reliance. The WG is basically collecting money from the nations and distributing/spending only a fraction of its income. This should cause the value of money to increase in the real world however in the case of WG there isn't a secondary/ another currency to compare the "strength" or demand of that currency. I know I just said a bunch of words that might not make any sense, but basically the economy has to be theoretically stable with no risk of inflation and change in its value. "In short the world government can be compared to a singular country irl and the nations can be compared to its states/districts."
(Sorry for butchering the explanation, there are loads and loads of factors and points to be explained regarding this topic, for which I'm not qualified enough to share)

Holy Imu, so Jaygarcia is based on Giuseppe Garibaldi?? Cool. He is an important figure for the culture of the south part of Brasil where I live! Anyway here are some cool facts about him:
He was known as a revolutionary of sorts and basically helped "Rio Grande do Sul" on a fight for independence
He has a famous feat of crossing his ship through the continent, yes through land, in order to avoid capture and then show up hundreds of kilometers away on sea!
He is known as "the hero of two worlds" for helping in two wars of independence, one of Italy and the other on Rio Grande do Sul
He died of old age despite having fought on many wars
In terms of World Debt, the WG might do two things:
1) And most likely: Track the debt of individual countries among each other to properly plan out how taxation and general economic flux would impact that country (probably working alongside the Marines and the CPs to plan for countermeasures in case of rebellions or rampant crime)
2) Maybe the WG is indebted to the lords of the underworld, you know, Stussy, Morgan, and the other massive zaibatsu-esque lords of One Piece.
And that's why we LOVE tekking ! no one else whould apply our economy to the OP world ! Thanks you Tekking !
I love this crazy little man rambling about characters from a pirate comic 🥰
Here is a little letter on the basics of macro economics.
Essentially, Economic Policy is good when it stimulates growth. The points you give are somewhat correct, since the main input factors of an Economy are capital and workforce. Low Inflation is good, too much Inflation without or with little growth is bad, because people are less likely to work for a currency that isnt worth anything in a month.
Deflation is similarly bad since it reduces the output of an economy, because people dont invest as much money since keeping it increases its value, therefore capital is going down. Having a low unemployment rate is also good since it increases the available workforce and high gdp is just the result of working economic policies.
This sounds very easy to do in the one piece world, since the monetary policy seems very easy to control. Money in the end is just an exchange good. There is a demand for it and you want that demand to be met, which is based on your entire economic output compared to other times(stable prices). If the government can take money away and give it out at free will, it is way easier to hit the sweet spot of how much money should be in circulation.
The heavenly tribute is not very comparable to our real world, since the government cant be voted out of power. Therefore not as much money if anything is going back to the population, which makes it more comparable to some factories in the victorian age, but less comparable to something in our world now.
Managing debt is an interesting one. It is a major tool to increase money supply in our system today, which isnt needed here. In the one piece world, i would say the only reason to use them is to make "investments" into certain areas look legitimate. If they say vegapunk is allowed to take a huge loan for his experiments, then it seems fairer to any other aspiring scientist, since they dont have the burden of the debt that vegapunk has. In the way they probably did it, where they just gave him all the ressources he needed, it just look like favoritism. But then again, i dont think the World Government really cares.
I dont see how manufacturing currency is a problem, unless other kingdoms are able to print their own berries, which is probably not the case somehow.
Hello, this Italian dude you were talking about is Giuseppe Garibaldi, a main figure in Italian history who played a major role during the unification of Italy. He is a very controversial character, and according to who is telling you the story, he is considered or a liberator who fought for democracy or a conqueror and oppressor who fought for a king. The fact is that he started his political carier as a republican, but he ended up fighting for the noble of house Savoia in order to make Vittorio Emanuele II of Piemont the first King of Italy. History is always told by the winners, so in official history Garibaldi is considered a national hero. But more recent historians have put a different pictures on him and on the unification of Italy in general. According to some, the so called 'unification' has been more a 'colonisation' for the countries of southern Italy. After the unification, schools in southern Italy have been closed for 16 years and the southern living condition started to get harder and harder, causing rebellions all over south Italy, and forcing the new ruler to hard and bloody oppression.
Intresting is that an organisation of rebells has been set in motion in those years, the so called "brigantismo', which actually has some similarities with the revolutionary army of the OP story.
Dont know if Oda really got ispired from Garbibaldi to create that character, or how well hi knows italian history, but it's intresting that the themes of acctually history and fictional history in these case are very similar...
I love how Oda gave us so much content in this chapter for OP UA-camrs to make theories for the month break lol
Hey Tekking,Economics student here!
Most of what you said is correct, however this comment is more to add to what you said
“Tax policies” would in this case refer to fiscal policy, deciding on the methods of gov revenue collection and reduction of gov spending. This includes adjusting the rate of tax (how much a certain country would pay in terms of materials, which would be variable in this case because of the scale of each kingdom’s wealth)
Another way of acquiring revenue is through gov bonds. Bonds are essentially loans that the gov takes on you (with consent obviously) for a certain period of time. Throughout this period of time, the gov will give you coupons, a percentage of interest of your loan. This, however incurs gov debt.
Debt would probably not be an issue because of the sheer size of the heavenly tribute. But in the real world most countries, like the US are in constant deficit because of massive debt to other countries like China.
Inflation would still happen based on if growth was too high because increases in aggregate demand (consumption, investment, gov spending and exports minus imports)which is demand pull inflation and if resources become scare (cost push inflation).
Quantifying a currency’s value requires other countries with different currencies demanding another currency meaning yes the world gov would set the prices for commodities but probably not the prices of a kingdom’s goods and services.
If anyone wants to correct me, feel free in the replies as I’m still studying but I’m glad if this helped you. 😁
Starting with the next video I hope you will replicate their beards.
Arturo says that nusjuro is the Japanese name for venus which in Japan was known as the planet of gold which fall in line for the God of finance
Perhaps the Gorosei don’t have devil fruits persay, but hold power over specific types of Devil Fruits.
For example, Samurai Gandhi could hold power over Awakened Zoans.
If we go by the idea that the Gorosei are pieces of Imu (the sea), perhaps Devil Fruits originally came from Imu, and (s)he wishes to reclaim them.
As a Master degree holder in economics and Advance finance architecture-
Here is the detail I could provide-
There are two types of debt one is public debt and the other one is debt from a finance organisation-
Now public debt is most common when a country sign a treasury bill or bonds with certain interest rate people buy them and government gets the money
However a financial institution is like broker so it take investment and give interest to first party while giving out loan to other party with 3-7 percent margin .
Let’s say A want to invest money B is broker and C need money
A will give money to B with interest rate of 5 percent B is broker and he will lend that Money to C with interest of 9 percent.
So the 4 percent is the earning of B.
Now applied to it world bank it take money from countries and give them interest it’s between 3-5 percent while it give out loans or bailouts to other countries with interest rate between 6-9 percent.
So world government having all money doesn’t mean it has no debt because it still need debt to run the world economy for every quarter while you can only collect tax once In a year also natural phenomenon could also affect tax for example agriculture it’s not stable income so tax sometimes can go up or down but world government employees will get same salary every year does needing samurai Gandhi to take loans from public and kings .
I feel it on the will of V
i think it’s possible that Samurai Ghandi has the mythical fruit of the sword god Ryuma. Ryuma was dubbed the Sword God because of his legendary existence, and its definitely possible that someone’s dream to become like Ryuma could’ve created the sword god devil fruit. Since Ghandi very likely had the shodai kitetsu and has the name Nasujuro (sounds like a wano name ex. ‘Zorojuro’), itd be very cool if Zoro can face Ghandi as another step towards becoming the world’s greatest swordsman. Itd also be cool as it can be symbolic of Zoro surpassing his ancestor.
Interesting
As a economic bachelor, if I had to explain national debt I would describe it as a half eaten sandwich. The part that’s eaten is the dept, it’s already spend you can’t really reduce it in that sense. In this case to reduce the debt you would eat the bread over a longer period of time but you can’t just reduce the debt by pumping money into it. Sry if it’s hard to understand by the example but trust me my university didn’t give any better ones
Ethan 💀
Can't wait for The Gorosei part 2 series when we learn more about them down the line.
Thank you so much, i really appreciate this video series
The part about tekking I like the most is he doesn't let money get to his head like most successful youtubers
As a guy that studies economics, one of the most interesting things is the paradox & how our government fails to address it.
How do you slow down inflation? By cutting government spending & raising taxes. Governments do this really well.
How do you end a recession? By raising government spending & dropping taxes. If you're wondering where they get the money to raise their spending with less tax money, so do they. That's the paradox. *Back in the 80s or 90s a solution was suggested. Save the excess money from inflated times to use during recessions. CONGRESS DECIDED TO GIVE THEMSELVES PAY RAISES INSTEAD!*
14:45 - They would still owe debts to private businesses, like *Galley-La.* It was stated that Iceberg bleeded them dry for their Battleships. They would also owe debts to countries *outside* of the World Government, like *Wano.* Orochi was also charging a fortune for Seaprism stone.
17:00 - That's how hyperinflation & *the great depression* starts!
20:00 - She's also the goddess of war!
26:35 - It could be Kotetsu & Hitetsu are titles used by the Shogunate. Blacksmiths were held in high regard in Japan, so the Daimyo & Shogun being prominent smiths makes sense.
Giuseppe Garibaldi was not an Italian Dictator. He was instrumental in the unification of Italy and was a great commander of soldier, better than most other actual italian generals at the time. He wanted to create a Republic but ended up giving the rest of Italy that he "conquered" to the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont, effectily creating Italy.
Zoro is absolutely fighting this guy before fighting Mihawk.
He's been the only swordsmen among the 5 gorossie so that he had been using the sword he's caring no one seen him used it yet
Well samurai gandhi does look badass
The berry is approximate in value to yen, which is a very inflated currency. Debt is really not an issue when you control everything anyway, but in order to control that economy, the world government can just turn on the money printer. Although they can just decide the berry isnt inflated and it all of a sudden isnt
What is very interesting is that the planets that Oda chose coincide with the planets associated with the 5 Chinese elements, wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Samurai Gandhi would be associated with metal in this case.
Turns out one piece is just a 1000+ chapter episode of schoolhouse rock for the different government departments
Sooooo now we basically know 50% of the first 20 celestial dragons
also, if any of y’all ever played Yakuza 0 maybe the gorosei name reveals also reminded you a bit of that game? there’s a business mechanic in it and 2 different PC with their own mini-games and bosses. The first set are Leisure, Electronic, Pleasure, Gambling, and Media Kings then the other set are Clubs which are named Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and Moon. just a random thought haha
Hey Tekking, while transposing country financials to World Gov financials is pretty interesting, I personally would lean more towards World Bank and IMF for our World's financials and try to superimpose that to World Gov, anyways awesome video as always!!
With this new video series, talking about the five Elder stars, at least the current amount of information that we have of them right now, can’t wait for the next part of this video series when we finally see what type of powers or devil fruits that they fully have on the battlefield
When the silhouettes were revealed, I was convinced the crane-bird blob was going to be Samurai Ghandi's, seeing as the crane ties back to Wano
I can’t believe it’s been 21 years since the Gorosei were introduced for the first time
And now 21 years later..
We finally now their real names
yawn it's shit piece so who cares.
As an accountant I would be trilled to be named Warrior God of Finance😂😂😂
4:40 that's the most Kinemon moment in all of Tekking's life lol.
One thing I’ve thought of, perhaps the World Government acts as a World Bank, facilitating centralised trade and treasury for all serf nations, and creating a globalised economy.
It would provide a carrot to incentivise serf nations to remain compliant, as it occurs to me that sticks would have only worked for so long.
Your comment on Ethan’s transformation being due to the demon inside his sword gave me an idea. What if all the Gorosei have an item given to them by Imu that allows their transformation? We see Garcia always carrying around the cane, Ethan has his sword, and Oda’s saving the other items for when the Gorosei fight someone. It would give Imu a more interesting ability, and we wouldn’t just get a whole bunch of new Mythical Zoans from the Gorosei.
world government so retarded.
In astrology Venus (V. Nus) rules finance, clever naming system
Hey Tekking. Teacher here! Most if not all countries have a bank. The function of these banks are threefold. 1. Loaning money to other banks, 2. Make sure that inflation is not going up too much (around 2% each year), 3. Printing money.
If the gouvernment can take out infinite loans (and not pay back) they will have too much money, yeah thats a thing! If its really easy to get money the currency will lose value and you'll have inflation.
The gouvernment will cripple itself if it just keep on loaning and printing money, its even more dangerous than the will of D. 😂
If you want to learn more about it look up inflation stories about countries in Africa, Germany and Argentinia
