    15 - Inflation and Unemployment: Frenemies?

    15 - Inflation and Unemployment: Frenemies?

    With inflation soaring and the central bank raising interest rates, many are wondering about the relationship between unemployment and inflation. I explain the original Phillips curve and how it was debunked in the 70's. Finally, I explain what the new Phillips curve says.

    14 - Why is Wage Growth So SLOW?

    14 - Why is Wage Growth So SLOW?

    Over the past few decades wage growth has been very slow. I explain why this is an issue given how inflation is soaring. I give two potential explanations: decentralised labour markets (enterprise bargaining) and slow productivity growth.

    13 - The Inflation Reduction Act: What Does it Even Do?

    13 - The Inflation Reduction Act: What Does it Even Do?

    The inflation reduction act was recently signed. But behind the confusing name and the range of different policies included, it can be difficult to figure out exactly what the impact of this bill will be. I give a simplified explanation of what this bill is about. How it won't really affect inflation, and how it's mainly a climate change bill. Finally I explain how this bill will be paid for: via additional taxes on firms and a big budget upgrade for the IRS.

    12 - When Was US Inflation Last This High?

    With inflation so high, many are drawing comparisons to the huge inflation we saw in the 1970's. In this video I explain what led up to the "great inflation" of the 1970s as well as what makes the situation back then different from today.

    11 - Why Construction Costs are NOT Going DOWN!

    With construction costs going through the roof, many want to believe that they will go down soon. In this video I discuss the inflationary pressures driving costs up in the construction industry from labour shortages to shipping delays. Finally, I explain why construction costs are likely to continue rising although at a slower pace for the coming years.

    10 - Property Development - 4 Steps That You NEED to Know!

    At the most fundamental level, property development can be broken down into four distinct areas. Failure to manage any one of these 4 areas can limit the probability of turning a profit as a property developer. In this video I explain how financing is only 1 of the 4 steps required to be a successful property developer.
