Inflation Is a Tax (And You're the One Paying It)
from Books, Ideas & Life Lessons · host The Insight Project
You didn't get a tax raise in 2022. But you paid one anyway. It just had a different name. This episode reframes inflation from an economic abstraction to what it actually is: a tax on your savings and wages that you never voted on. We walk through the Cantillon effect (who gets the new money first), why retirees and wage earners get crushed, and what actually protects your money. Includes a five-year salary audit that will show you exactly how much real pay you've lost.KEYWORD TAGSinflation · macro economics · ray dalio · lyn alden · cantillon effect · federal reserve · monetary policy · real wages · currency debasement · wealth transfer
