“Significant changes in the growth rate of money supply, even small ones, impact the financial markets first. Then, they impact changes in the real economy, usually in six to nine months, but in a range of three to 18 months. Usually in about two years in the US, they correlate with changes in the rate of inflation or deflation."

“I think the critical point, really, is that we need to focus black economic empowerment more on the creation of new wealth rather than on these big deals that have been characteristic of this process in the past, of people going to banks, borrowing a lot of money, buying this and when the shares don't perform very well, the shares go back to the banks, because there's other people who own this anyway. I think we need to re-focus it so that it really does impact on growth, new investment, new employment and a general, better spread of wealth in South Africa.” PeopleThinkingNeedsWellsDoeHas BeensBigsPastProcessBlackGrowthWealthDealsFocusShareEconomicCreationEmpowermentImpactInvestmentSouthSpreadCriticalEmploymentCharacteristicsBuyingLots Of MoneySouth AfricaBig DealBorrowingEconomic Empowerment Author:Thabo Mbeki
“The impact of QE on generating more lending by Wall Street to Main Street and in generating more employment and increasing overall investment in the economy is quite modest. QE probably limited the initial collapse of the economy in 2008, and likely had a very small positive impact on economic growth, but its broader impact on jobs and growth in the economy seems not very big.” BigsSeemsJobsGrowthEconomyEconomicStreetsWallImpactInvestmentEmploymentCollapseModestInitialsEconomic GrowthLendingPositive ImpactMain Street Author:Gerald Epstein
“Initially, QE contributed to a pretty significant increase in inequality. It raised asset prices, which are owned primarily by the wealthy, while having relatively small if any positive impacts on bank lending, employment, wages or economic growth, so ordinary people haven't had much help. By the third round of QE in 2012-2014, the effects had likely muted quite a bit. There were probably not big impacts on asset prices from QE and the positive effects on employment growth might have strengthened somewhat.” PeopleIfsHelpingBigsMightBitsGrowthEconomicEffectsHavensOrdinaryThirdsIncreaseImpactRaisedRoundsSignificantEmploymentInequalityWealthyAssetsWagesOrdinary PeopleEconomic GrowthLendingPositive ImpactHaving StrengthBig Impact Author:Gerald Epstein
