I wonder why all of the top ones are American.

That correlation doesn't imply causation

Oh, I just looked it up. Compared to the same month of the previous year, yeah, the last months of 2022 did show more than 20% inflation rate. Perhaps the inflation rate of Japan and Russia were not input so the graph only shows theirs in white. Even zero percent would at least show a color.

Probably just to make it a continuous scale. It may have been more enlightening to center the color scale at 2.5% or something.

How could >leader I don’t like< have singlehandedly caused this inflation

Hungary is also exceeding the range in pretty sure, but it’s just marked in dark red.

Yes, it did.

Yeah and possibly more profitable than anything else

Doctors used to use electroshock to treat schizophrenia.

Dentists used to use arsenic to treat tooth pain.

I guess we better just ignore the composite opinions of every group of professions in today's world /s.

We understand things better after failures. The fed is 5 times older now than it was during the depression. Everyone learns from their mistakes. 1913 was still very early compared to today's largely digital and very accessible stock market.

Sweden did print more money than usual during Covid

Not really, it’s just that there are more iNaturalist users and therefore observations in Spain and Germany than there are in France

> This is a widely accepted view from financial professionals

At one time, it was a widely accepted view from scholars that disease was caused by humid air, the word "malaria" means literally "bad airs". Economics is like medicine was before the germ theory, it's still a rather primitive science, it doesn't produce reliable mathematical models.

Think of this, the Federal Reserve system was created in 1913 to prevent financial crises from happening. Less than twenty years later the US would plunge into the worst economic crisis in history. If they know so much, why did they fuck up so badly? How could the Great Depression happen after the creation of the Fed and why didn't it happen before?

If Venezuela were on that graph it would be something like this: 🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥⬛️⬛️🟥🟥🟥⬛️🟥🟥⬛️⬛️🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥⬛️⬛️🟥🟥⬛️⬛️⬛️🟥

I came in here to post "I did that!". But it sure looks like the USA is managing pretty well considering all the other countries struggles with it right now.

1-2% because that’s the annual rate of increase in number of consumers. This notion is a direct reflection of population increase, not some argument relating to economics itself.

Deflation is great, means the money printer can go brr

Why is there no data for Japan?

South Africa and India seem to always be experiencing inflation pain, while Switzerland doesn’t seem to experience any inflation at all. Why?

The heatmap is slightly misleading. Deflation is usually just as undesirable as inflation. In addition the European Central Bank has an inflation target of 2%, which is why the euro countries would have to be rated the "greenest" or most positive at 2% inflation.

No my barber says Trudeau The Dictator did this. I had no idea he was that powerful.

You're right, I've should have specified the dates I used were when they announced their plans, not completed them.

Turkey would break this graph

Must be because it exceeded the range, as the graph only shows within the range of -2% to 10% only. The same was the case with Russia.

It makes a great case for nuclear and renewables. Anything to avoid tangling your economy too much to the handful of fossil fuel producing countries.
