Unbelievable certain "left" outlets are loving the Matt Gaetz pick because he is supposedly anti-establishment. He is Tulsi Gabbard but worse.

Russia's economy faces stress as high interest rates fail to control inflation.

Maybe because interest rates doesn't reduce inflation and can have the opposite effect.

Its so stupid that interest rates is the only thing against inflation liberals can imagine. How about the Government buys all the potatoes and sells it a price that's socially desirable. The Government can also accumulate excess potatoes and offload it during shortages, I'm not sure about Russia but it is a thing in some countries.

US Government does it with oil and it kinda works, not as well as it would because oil corps have an oligopoly and have price setting power.

The liberal argument against that would be the shortage of potatoes would manifest as empty stores instead of higher prices and that is true. People may also over consume.

But there is another way, have a fixed quantity of potatoes sold at discounted rates. Rest at higher rate or maybe market rates.

Modern Russia is so capitalist-brained. Not just interest rates but I have seen videos of kulaks destroying produce.

I know they teach bad economics which is probably the main reason why they ride hard for capitalism.

About how prices always adjust perfectly to meet demand and how minimum wages forced upon by the evil Government and trade unions prevent free markets from working efficiently.

How Government imposed price controls are bad because it distorts the markets. How centrally planned economies are inefficient.

Like that's a self dunk. Why did Democrats vote with Republicans? Why weren't they instantly executed? Why were such opportunists allowed in the party?

Deifict hawking in the US in 2024? Sounds great for global capitalism. US is THE consooming engine.

Atleast Argentina is a smaller country. Atleast Russia was disconnected from rest of the capitalist world pre 1990s.

And it's by no means "radical". Bill Clinton the neoliberal establishment guy ran budget surpluses in the 1990s, sucked money away from the (mainly poor) people and increased household debt.

 

But a global downturn in demand for mined diamonds, which account for more than 80 percent of the Southern African exports, has taken a toll on the economy.

Another L for IMF's "export led growth" model causing economic hardships.
