what if there was like an uber, but it drove along a set route and stopped every mile or so?

Universe brain: take the passengers in, don't take fare, but never let them out.

If I were to become an economic analyst for a bank like TD, what field of economics in particular should I pay attention to and study?

I have an interview tomorrow for a potential position. Wish me luck!

I watch a lot of conference talks and the best prognosticators draw on a lot of economic history and economic geography.

my extremely monday-morning-quarterback reading of indicators supports your prediction of imminent inflation, but doesn't shake my worries about an unemployment spike when companies cinch down labor even tighter in the next and arguably current cyclic contraction because that's their only aggregate competence i've seen demonstrated post-'08 which to my understanding would meet the prereqs for a stagflationary period.

if you have any clues about nominal employment remaining robust and demand increasing in a way it hasn't in the last decade, i'm all ears though

SHUT THE gently caress UP GREENSPAN HOLY poo poo

The stagflation of the 70s was the result of rising wages indusing inflation, which capital responded to by cutting investment and raising prices (bevause the last they they were ever going to do 8s cut their own salaries).

Right now, wages are low historically, and that's creating a lack of demands and a crisis of underconsumption.

These stupid rich shitheads only remember and compare what we have now to then, to stagflation of the 70s, because they want an excuse to keep wages low, and raising the spectre of stagflation is a way to do that.

But that's not going to solve a loving depression, which is what we're actually heading into.

Hoky poo poo these guys are morons.

It's probably because the finance sector hates inflation since it makes it easier for debtors to deal with their creditors.

US finance sector makes sense when you realize that many of the top players like Greenspan were objectivist shitheads.
