Hello friends. A warm welcome to new readers and subscribers. I am glad you are here!
The audio above is a brief interview I had with Durban Youth Radio early this week – on the lessons we can learn in an inflationary world.
There is a lot of talk on the actual main factor causing inflation, we have seen soaring fuel, food, and service prices…
but I wish that the conversation shifts more towards ‘what really can we learn from inflation, and how can we beat it?…’ more than the, to an extent regressive, ongoing debate on the causation of such.
Enjoy! Please do excuse the impaired sound.
And, yes, it was unfortunate that my line broke towards the end, at least though, we were more than three quarters into the conversation, but just to put out the last point on seeking protection from inflation that I had;
So, the government has these inflation linked bonds, which allow investors to lend (invest) the government money for the promise of semi-annual payments that increase as inflation increases. Above the fixed return these bonds return, they compensate for increases in inflation.
Thanks for reading curiosity, if you found this insightful, feel free to share so more people are exposed to Curiosity.
Talk to you soon! Stay Curious
