How the economic machine works in 30 minutes.

The economy works like a simple machine, but many people don't understand it or they don't agree on how it works.

And this has led to a lot of needless economic suffering.

I feel a deep sense of responsibility to share my simple but practical economic template. Though it's unconventional,

it has helped me to anticipate and to sidestep the global financial crisis

and it has worked well for me for over 30 years.

Let's begin.

Though the economy might seem complex, it works in a simple, mechanical way.

It's made up of a few simple parts

and a lot of simple transactions that are repeated over and over again a zillion times.

These transactions are, above all else, driven by human nature, and they create three main forces that drive the economy.

Number one, productivity growth.

Number two, the short -term debt cycle.

And number three, the long -term debt cycle.

We'll look at these three forces

and how laying them on top of each other creates a good template for tracking economic movements

and figuring out what's happening now.

Let's start with the simplest part of the economy, transactions.

An economy is simply the sum of the transactions that make it up.

And a transaction is a very simple thing.

You make transactions all the time.

Every time you buy something, you create a transaction.

Each transaction consists of a buyer exchanging money or credit with a seller for goods, services, or financial assets.

Credit spends just like money, so adding together the money spent and the amount of credit spent, you can know the total spending.

The total amount of spending drives the economy.

If you divide the amount spent by the quantity sold, you get the price.

And that's it.

That's a transaction.

It's the building block of the economic machine.

All cycles and all forces in an economy are driven by transactions.

So, if we can understand transactions, we can understand the whole economy.

A market consists of all the buyers and all the sellers making transactions for the same thing.

For example, there is a wheat market, a car market, a stock market, and markets for millions of things.

An economy consists of all of the transactions in all of its markets.

If you add up the total spending and the total quantity sold in all of the markets,

you have everything you need to know to understand the economy.

It's just that simple.

People, businesses, banks, and governments all engage in transactions the way I just described,

exchanging money and credit for goods, services, and financial assets.

The biggest buyer and seller is the government, which consists of two important parts, a central government that collects taxes and spends money,

and a central bank, which is different from other buyers

and sellers because it controls the amount of money and credit in the economy.

It does this by influencing interest rates and printing new money.

For these reasons, as we'll see, the central bank is an important player in the flow of credit.

I want you to pay attention to credit.

Credit is the most important part of the economy and probably the least understood.

It's the most important part because it's the biggest and most volatile part.

Just like buyers and sellers go to the market to make transactions, so do lenders and borrowers.

Lenders usually want to make their money into more money, and borrowers usually want to buy something they can't afford, like a house or a car,

or they want to invest in something like starting a business.

Credit can help both lenders and borrowers get what they want.

Borrowers promise to repay the amount they borrow, called principal, plus an additional amount called interest.

When interest rates are high, there is less borrowing because it's expensive.

When interest rates are low, borrowing increases because it's cheaper.

When borrowers promise to repay, and lenders believe them, credit is created.

Any two people can agree to create credit out of thin air.

That seems simple enough, but credit is tricky because it has different names.

As soon as credit is created, it immediately turns into debt.

Debt is both an asset to the lender and a liability to the borrower.

In the future, when the borrower repays the loan plus interest, the asset and the liability disappear and the transaction is settled.

So why is credit so important?

Because when a borrower receives credit, he is able to increase his spending.

And remember, spending drives the economy.

This is because one person's spending is another person's income.

Think about it.

Every dollar you spend, someone else earns.

And every dollar you earn, someone else has spent.

So when you spend more, someone else earns more.

When someone's income rises, it makes lenders more willing to lend him money because now he's more worthy of credit.

A credit -worthy borrower has two things, the ability to repay and collateral.

Having a lot of income in relation to his debt gives him the ability to repay.

In the event that he can't repay, he has valuable assets to use as collateral that can be sold.

This makes lenders feel comfortable lending him money.

So increased income allows increased borrowing, which allows increased spending.

And since one person's spending is another person's income, this leads to more increased borrowing and so on.

This self -reinforcing pattern leads to economic growth and is why we have cycles.

In a transaction, you have to give something in order to get something.

And how much you get depends on how much you produce.

Over time we learn and that accumulated knowledge raises our living standards.

We call this productivity growth.

Those who are inventive and hardworking raise their productivity and their living standards faster than those who are complacent and lazy.

But that isn't necessarily true over the short run.

Productivity matters most in the long run, but credit matters most in the short run.

This is because productivity growth doesn't fluctuate much, so it's not a big driver of economic swings.

Debt is, because it allows us to consume more than we produce when we acquire it,

and it forces us to consume less than we produce when we have to pay it back.

Debt swings occur in two big cycles.

One takes about 5 to 8 years, and the other takes about 75 to 100 years.

While most people feel the swings, they typically don't see them as cycles because they see them too up close, day by day, week by week.

In this chapter, we're going to step back

and look at these three big forces and how they interact to make up our experiences.

As mentioned, swings around the line are not due to how much innovation or hard work there is.

They're primarily due to how much credit there is.

Let's for a second imagine an economy without credit.

In this economy, the only way I can increase my spending is to increase my income,

which requires me to be more productive and do more work.

Increased productivity is the only way for growth.

Since my spending is another person's income, the economy grows every time I or anyone else is more productive.

If we follow the transactions and play this out, we see a progression like the productivity growth line.

100

But because we borrow, we have cycles.

101

This isn't due to any laws or regulations.

102

It's due to human nature and the way that credit works.

103

Think of borrowing as simply a way of pulling spending forward.

104

In order to buy something you can't afford, you need to spend more than you make.

105

To do this, you essentially need to borrow from your future self.

106

In doing so, you create a time in the future

107

that you need to spend less than you make in order to pay it back.

108

It very quickly resembles a cycle.

109

Basically, any time you borrow, you create a cycle.

110

This is as true for an individual as it is for the economy.

111

This is why understanding credit is so important, because it sets into motion a mechanical, predictable series of events that will happen in the future.

112

This makes credit different for money.

113

Money is what you settle transactions with.

114

When you buy a beer from a bartender with cash, the transaction is settled immediately.

115

But when you buy a beer with credit, it's like starting a bartab.

116

You're saying you promise to pay in the future.

117

Together, you and the bartender create an asset and a liability.

118

You just created credit out of thin air.

119

It's not until you pay the bar tab later that the asset and the liability disappear, the debt goes away, and the transaction is settled.

120

The reality is that most of what people call money is actually credit.

121

The total amount of credit in the United States is about $50 trillion, and the total amount of money is only about $3 trillion.

122

Remember, in an economy without credit, the only way to increase your spending is to produce more.

123

But in an economy with credit, you can also increase your spending by borrowing.

124

As a result, an economy with credit has more spending and allows incomes to rise faster than productivity over the short run,

125

but not over the long run.

126

Now, don't get me wrong.

127

Credit isn't necessarily something bad that just causes cycles.

128

It's bad when it finances overconsumption that can't be paid back.

129

However, it's good when it efficiently allocates resources and produces income so you can pay back the debt.

130

For example, if you borrow money to buy a big TV, it doesn't generate income for you to pay back the debt.

131

But if you borrow money to, say, buy a tractor, and that tractor lets you harvest more crops and earn more money,

132

then you can pay back your debt and improve your living standards.

133

In an economy with credit, we can follow the transactions and see how credit creates growth.

134

Let me give you an example.

135

Suppose you earn $100 ,000 a year and have no debt.

136

You are creditworthy enough to borrow $10 ,000, say on a credit card.

137

So you can spend $110 ,000 even though you only earn $100 ,000.

138

Since your spending is another person's income, someone is earning $110 ,000.

139

The person earning $110 ,000 with no debt can borrow $11 ,000,

140

so he can spend $121 ,000 even though he has only earned $110 ,000.

141

His spending is another person's income, and by following the transactions, we can begin to see how this process works in a self -reinforcing pattern.

142

But remember, borrowing creates cycles, and if the cycle goes up, it eventually needs to come down.

143

This leads us into the short -term debt cycle.

144

As economic activity increases, we see an expansion, the first phase of the short -term debt cycle.

145

Spending continues to increase and prices start to rise.

146

This happens because the increase in spending is fueled by credit, which can be created instantly out of thin air.

147

When the amount of spending and incomes grow faster than the production of goods, prices rise.

148

When prices rise, we call this inflation.

149

The central bank doesn't want too much inflation because it causes problems.

150

Seeing prices rise, it raises interest rates.

151

With higher interest rates, fewer people can afford to borrow money, and the cost of existing debts rises.

152

Think about this as the monthly payments on your credit card going up.

153

Because people borrow less and have higher debt repayments, they have less money left over to spend.

154

So spending slows.

155

And since one person's spending is another person's income, incomes drop, and so on and so forth.

156

When people spend less, prices go down.

157

We call this deflation.

158

Economic activity decreases, and we have a recession.

159

If the recession becomes too severe and inflation is no longer a problem,

160

the central bank will lower interest rates to cause everything to pick up again.

161

With low interest rates, debt repayments are reduced, and borrowing and spending pick up, and we see another expansion.

162

As you can see, the economy works like a machine.

163

In the short -term debt cycle, spending is constrained only by the willingness of lenders and borrowers to provide and receive credit.

164

When credit is easily available, there's an economic expansion.

165

When credit isn't easily available, there's a recession.

166

And note that this cycle is controlled primarily by the central bank.

167

The short -term debt cycle typically lasts five to eight years and happens over and over again for decades.

168

But notice that the bottom and top of each cycle finish with more growth than the previous cycle and with more debt.

169

Why?

170

Because people push it.

171

They have an inclination to borrow and spend more instead of paying back debt.

172

It's human nature.

173

Because of this, over long periods of time, debts rise faster than incomes, creating the long -term debt cycle.

174

Despite people becoming more indebted, lenders even more freely extend credit.

175

Why?

176

Because everyone thinks things are going great.

177

People are just focused on what's been happening lately.

178

And what's been happening lately?

179

Incomes have been rising.

180

Asset values are going up.

181

The stock market roars.

182

It's a boom.

183

It pays to buy goods, services, and financial assets with borrowed money.

184

When people do a lot of that, we call it a bubble.

185

So even though debts have been growing...

186

Incomes have been growing nearly as fast to offset them.

187

Let's call the ratio of debt to income the debt burden.

188

So long as incomes continue to rise, the debt burden stays manageable.

189

At the same time, asset values soar.

190

People borrow huge amounts of money to buy assets as investments, causing their prices to rise even higher.

191

People feel wealthy.

192

So even with the accumulation of lots of debt, rising incomes and asset values help borrowers remain creditworthy for a long time.

193

But this obviously cannot continue forever.

194

And it doesn't.

195

Over decades, debt burdens slowly increase, creating larger and larger debt repayments.

196

At some point, debt repayments start growing faster than incomes, forcing people to cut back on their spending.

197

And since one person's spending is another person's income, incomes begin to go down, which makes people less creditworthy,

198

causing borrowing to go down.

199

Debt repayments continue to rise, which makes spending drop even further, and the cycle reverses itself.

200

This is the long -term debt peak.

201

Debt burdens have simply become too big.

202

For the United States, Europe, and much of the rest of the world this happened in 2008.

203

It happened for the same reason it happened in Japan in 1989 and in the United States back in 1929.

204

Now the economy begins deleveraging.

205

In a deleveraging, people cut spending, incomes fall, credit disappears, asset prices drop,

206

banks get squeezed, the stock market crashes, social tensions rise, and the whole thing starts to feed on itself the other way.

207

As incomes fall and debt repayments rise, borrowers get squeezed.

208

No longer credit worthy, credit dries up, and borrowers can no longer borrow enough money to make their debt repayments.

209

Scrambling to fill this hole, borrowers are forced to sell assets.

210

The rush to sell assets floods the market at the same time as spending falls.

211

This is when the stock market collapses.

212

The real estate market tanks and banks get into trouble.

213

As asset prices drop, the value of the collateral borrowers can put up drops.

214

This makes borrowers even less creditworthy.

215

People feel poor.

216

Credit rapidly disappears.

217

Less spending, less income, less wealth, less credit, less borrowing, and so on.

218

It's a vicious cycle.

219

This appears similar to a recession, but the difference here is that interest rates can't be lowered to save the day.

220

In a recession, lowering interest rates works to stimulate borrowing.

221

However, in a deleveraging, lowering interest rates doesn't work because interest rates are already low and soon hit 0%.

222

So the stimulation ends.

223

Interest rates in the United States hit 0 % during the deleveraging of the 1930s and again in 2008.

224

The difference between a recession and a deleveraging is that in a deleveraging,

225

borrowers' debt burdens have simply gotten too big and can't be relieved by lowering interest rates.

226

Lenders realize that debts have become too large to ever be fully paid back.

227

Borrowers have lost their ability to repay and their collateral has lost value.

228

They feel crippled by the debt.

229

They don't even want more.

230

Lenders stop lending.

231

Borrowers stop borrowing.

232

Think of the economy as being not creditworthy, just like an individual.

233

So what do you do about a deleveraging?

234

The problem is debt burdens are too high and they must come down.

235

There are four ways this can happen.

236

One, people, businesses and governments cut their spending.

237

Two, debts are reduced through defaults and restructurings.

238

Three, wealth is redistributed from the haves to the have -nots.

239

And finally, four, the central bank prints new money.

240

These four ways have happened in every deleveraging in modern history.

241

Usually, spending is cut first.

242

As we just saw, people, businesses, and even governments tighten their belts and cut their spending so that they can pay down their debt.

243

This is often referred to as austerity.

244

When borrowers stop taking on new debts and start paying down old debts, you might expect the debt burden to decrease.

245

But the opposite happens.

246

Because spending is cut, and one man's spending is another man's income, It causes incomes to fall.

247

They fall faster than debts are repaid, and the debt burden actually gets worse.

248

As we've seen, this cut in spending is deflationary and painful.

249

Businesses are forced to cut costs, which means less jobs and higher unemployment.

250

This leads to the next step.

251

Debts must be reduced.

252

Many borrowers find themselves unable to repay their loans, and a borrower's debts are a lender's assets.

253

When a borrower doesn't repay the bank, people get nervous that the bank won't be able to repay them,

254

so they rush to withdraw their money from the bank.

255

Banks get squeezed and people, businesses and banks default on their debts.

256

This severe economic contraction is a depression.

257

A big part of a depression is people discovering much of what they thought was their wealth isn't really there.

258

Let's go back to the bar.

259

When you bought a beer and put it on a bar tab, you promised to repay the bartender.

260

Your promise became an asset of the bartender.

261

But if you break your promise, if you don't pay him back and essentially default on your bar tab,

262

then the asset he has isn't really worth anything.

263

It has basically disappeared.

264

Many lenders don't want their assets to disappear and agree to debt restructuring.

265

Debt restructuring means lenders get paid back less, or get paid back over a longer time frame,

266

or at a lower interest rate than was first agreed.

267

Somehow, a contract is broken in a way that reduces debt.

268

Lenders would rather have a little of something than all of nothing.

269

Even though debt disappears, debt restructuring causes income and asset values to disappear faster, so the debt burden continues to get worse.

270

Like cutting spending, debt reduction is also painful and deflationary.

271

All of this impacts the central government because lower incomes and less employment means the government collects fewer taxes.

272

At the same time, it needs to increase its spending because unemployment has risen.

273

Many of the unemployed have inadequate savings and need financial support from the government.

274

Additionally, governments create stimulus plans and increase their spending to make up for the decrease in the economy.

275

Government's budget deficits explode in the deleveraging because they spend more than they earn in taxes.

276

This is what's happening when you hear about the budget deficit on the news.

277

To fund their deficits, governments need to either raise taxes or borrow money.

278

But with incomes falling and so many unemployed, who is the money going to come from?

279

The rich.

280

Since governments need more money, and since wealth is heavily concentrated in the hands of a small percentage of the people,

281

governments naturally raise taxes on the wealthy.

282

which facilitates a redistribution of wealth in the economy from the haves to the have -nots.

283

The have -nots who are suffering begin to resent the wealthy haves.

284

The wealthy haves being squeezed by the weak economy, falling asset prices and higher taxes begin to resent the have -nots.

285

If the depression continues, social disorder can break out.

286

Not only do tensions rise within countries, they can rise between countries, especially debtor and creditor countries.

287

This situation can lead to political change that can sometimes be extreme.

288

In the 1930s, this led to Hitler coming to power, war in Europe, and depression in the United States.

289

Pressure to do something to end the depression increases.

290

Remember, most of what people thought was money was actually credit.

291

So when credit disappears, people don't have enough money.

292

People are desperate for money, and you remember who can print money.

293

The central bank can.

294

Having already lowered its interest rates to nearly zero, it's forced to print money.

295

Unlike cutting spending, debt reduction, and wealth redistribution, printing money is inflationary and stimulative.

296

Inevitably, the central bank prints new money out of thin air and uses it to buy financial assets and government bonds.

297

It happened in the United States during the Great Depression, and again in 2008 when the United States Central Bank,

298

the Federal Reserve, printed over $2 trillion.

299

Other central banks around the world that could printed a lot of money too.

300

By buying financial assets with this money, it helps drive up asset prices, which makes people more creditworthy.

301

However, this only helps those who own financial assets.

302

You see, the central bank can print money, but it can only buy financial assets.

303

The central government, on the other hand, can buy goods and services and put money in the hands of the people, but it can't print money.

304

So in order to stimulate the economy, the two must cooperate.

305

By buying government bonds, the central bank essentially lends money to the government,

306

allowing it to run a deficit and increase spending on goods and services through its stimulus programs and unemployment benefits.

307

This increases people's income as well as the government's debt.

308

However, it will lower the economy's total debt burden.

309

This is a very risky time.

310

Policymakers need to balance the four ways that debt burdens come down.

311

The deflationary ways need to balance with the inflationary ways in order to maintain stability.

312

If balanced correctly, there can be a beautiful deleveraging.

313

You see, a deleveraging can be ugly or it can be beautiful.

314

How can a deleveraging be beautiful?

315

Even though a deleveraging is a difficult situation, handling a difficult situation in the best possible way is beautiful.

316

A lot more beautiful than the debt -fueled, unbalanced excesses of the leveraging phase.

317

In a beautiful deleveraging, debts decline relative to income, real economic growth is positive, and inflation isn't a problem.

318

It is achieved by having the right balance.

319

The right balance requires a certain mix of cutting spending,

320

reducing debt, transferring wealth and printing money so that economic and social stability can be maintained.

321

People ask if printing money will raise inflation.

322

It won't if it offsets falling credit.

323

Remember, spending is what matters.

324

A dollar of spending paid for with money has the same

325

effect on price as a dollar of spending paid for with credit.

326

By printing money, the central bank can make up for the disappearance of credit with an increase in the amount of money.

327

In order to turn things around, the central bank needs to not only pump up income growth,

328

but get the rate of income growth higher than the rate of interest on the accumulated debt.

329

So what do I mean by that?

330

Basically, income needs to grow faster than debt grows.

331

For example, let's assume that a country going through a deleveraging has a debt -to -income ratio of 100%. That means

332

that the amount of debt it has is the same as the amount of income the entire country makes in a year.

333

Now think about the interest rate on that debt.

334

Let's say it's 2%.

335

If debt is growing at 2 % because of that interest rate, and income is only growing at around 1%,

336

you will never reduce the debt burden.

337

You need to print enough money to get the rate of income growth above the rate of interest.

338

However, printing money could easily be abused because it's so easy to do and people prefer it to the alternatives.

339

The key is to avoid printing too much money

340

and causing unacceptably high inflation the way Germany did during its deleveraging in the 1920s.

341

If policymakers achieve the right balance, a deleveraging isn't so dramatic.

342

Growth is slow, but debt burdens go down.

343

That's a beautiful deleveraging.

344

When incomes begin to rise, borrowers begin to appear more creditworthy.

345

And when borrowers appear more creditworthy, lenders begin to lend money again.

346

Debt burdens finally begin to fall.

347

Able to borrow money, people can spend more.

348

Eventually, the economy begins to grow again, leading to the reflation phase of the long -term debt cycle.

349

Though the deleveraging process can be horrible if handled badly, if handled well, it will eventually fix the problem.

350

It takes roughly a decade or more for debt burdens to fall and economic activity to get back to normal, hence the term lost decade.

351

In closing, of course, the economy is a little bit more complicated than this template suggests.

352

However, laying the short -term debt cycle on top of the long -term debt cycle,

353

and then laying both of them on top of the productivity growth line, gives a reasonably good template for seeing where we've been,

354

where we are now, and where we're probably headed.

355

So, in summary, there are three rules of thumb that I'd like you to take away from this.

356

First, don't have debt rise faster than income, because your debt burdens will eventually crush you.

357

Second, don't have income rise faster than productivity because you'll eventually become uncompetitive.

358

And third, do all that you can to raise your productivity, because in the long run, that's what matters most.

359

This is simple advice for you, and it's simple advice for policymakers.

360

You might be surprised, but most people, including most policymakers, don't pay enough attention to this.

361

This template has worked for me, and I hope it will work for you.

362

Thank you.

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型	動画での表現

注意したい発音

話し手はdon't, isn't, can'tなど、短縮形や弱形を42回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。

「th」の音: thin /ˈθɪn/, wealthy /ˈwɛl.θi/, worthy /ˈwɝ.ði/, withdraw /wɪðˈdɹɔ/, thumb /ˈθʌm/
「sh」と「zh」の音: transaction /tɹænˈzækʃən/, inflation /ɪnˈfleɪ.ʃən/, recession /ɹɪˈsɛʃn̩/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, rush /ɹʌʃ/
長い単語（アクセントの位置に注意）: productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, liability /laɪəˈbɪlɪti/, collateral /kəˈlætəɹəl/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, unemployment /ʌn.ɪmˈplɔɪ.mənt/

日本語話者が苦手な音：

/r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: collateral /kəˈlætəɹəl/, necessarily /ˌnɛs.əˈsɛɹ.ə.li/, primarily /ˈpɹaɪ.mə.ɹə.li/, cellar /ˈsɛləɹ/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/
/v/ — /b/ にならないように、上の歯を下唇に当てる: productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, productive /pɹəˈdʌk.tɪv/, relative /ˈɹɛl.ə.tɪv/, discover /dɪˈskʌvə/, innovation /ˌɪn.əˈveɪ.ʃən/
/f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: inflation /ɪnˈfleɪ.ʃən/, deficit /ˈdɛfəsɪt/, painful /ˈpeɪn.fl̩/, fewer /ˈfjuː.ɚ/, default /dɪˈfɔlt/

この動画での練習方法

まず声を出さずに動画を最後まで聞き、知らない単語をメモします。
通常の速度で一文ずつシャドーイングし、話し手のリズムに合うまで繰り返します。
自分の声を録音して元の音声と比べます。transaction, burden, borrowなどの単語に特に注意しましょう。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
