Charlie Munger Predicts The “HORRIBLE” Economic Crisis That Will Wipe Out Everyone

Since the financial crisis of 2008 and exacerbated by the pandemic-induced economic slowdown in 2020, central banks, especially in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, have ramped up their monetary stimulus, pumping trillions into the economy. The U.S. Federal Reserve alone added over $3 trillion to its balance sheet in 2020. To give you a broader perspective, that’s approximately 15% of the entire U.S. GDP of that year.

Sir Winston Churchill once said, “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” It’s vital to remember that unfettered money printing isn’t without its consequences. The immediate aftermath of World War I witnessed the infamous hyperinflation of the Weimar Republic. People were carrying wheelbarrows full of money for just a loaf of bread. Or even Zimbabwe in 2008, where inflation was so rampant that a one-hundred trillion-dollar note was in circulation.

Now, the 1970s in the U.S. weren’t as drastic as Weimar Germany or Zimbabwe, but they were instructive. The U.S. experienced stagflation – a lethal combination of stagnant growth and high inflation. The root of this was multifaceted, from the aftermath of the Vietnam War to the oil crisis. Inflation reached double digits. It was a dire situation, so much so that President Ford once handed out “Whip Inflation Now” buttons as a PR move.
It was under these dire circumstances that Paul Volcker, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, took a stand. He believed that for the economy to heal, it needed a strong dose of medicine, no matter how bitter. So, he aggressively hiked interest rates, peaking at 20% in 1980. Milton Friedman, the Nobel laureate, always stressed the close relationship between excessive growth in money supply and inflation. Volcker’s policies were in line with this thinking.
Yes, this led to a recession. Several businesses were devastated, unemployment surged, but it was deemed necessary to exorcise the demon of inflation from the system.
