“The idea is: You played to 100 people this week in Europe, and then next week you can play to 200. It's an investment in that territory. But it can lose money because it's very expensive to go to Europe. You can't really just say, like, "Oh, we're gonna take our van and drive to California tomorrow." It's more like, "Oh, we have to fly to London and rent three guitar amps, a bass amp, drums; buy all these flights for four people; hire a driver."” PeopleIdeasPlayThreeNextLosesFourWeekTomorrowEuropeInvestmentGuitarLondonFlightCaliforniaExpensiveDriversTerritoryVansBassNext Week Author:Zachary Cole Smith
“Deflation means a slowdown of income growth. Markets shrink, new capital investment and employment also taper off, so wages decline.

“The U.S. and, to a certain extent, countries in Europe as well, have experienced growing inequality within their population for decades - a small group of people own the lion's share of the wealth. Populists take advantage of this, and their policies are extremely hard to predict. And this has serious consequences.
