Lacy Hunt Ph.D. is an internationally recognized trader in U.S. treasuries. He understands how the Federal Reserve creates and distributes money. He works at Hoisington Investment Management Company (HIMCo) and produces a newsletter read by commodities traders and large investors around the world. We discuss how the economy works in real terms. I learned more in this one hour, than my graduate level economics courses.
I learned about the difference between "printing money" and the Federal Reserve Selling Treasuries. He discusses how US Treasuries puts money into the system through sales of treasuries, and talks about how the British did the opposite and printed money to put into the economy. He discusses his opinion that we run the risk of deflation now that more money is being added into the system. He described how the economic pressures already in the economy before Coronavirus will be exposed as a function of certain business practices.
