“At the time, the International #Monetary #Fund (#IMF) had just released a staff report on Australia's economy which contained this graph of Australian house prices. It shows how #PropertyPrice #inflation had really accelerated in the early 2000s (in real terms, once inflation had been taken into account), which explains why people were so worried.
The index of real property prices in major #Australian #cities jumped by 46 per cent between 2000 and 2003. (Source: International Monetary Fund, Australia, Staff Report for the 2003 Article IV Consultation, September 3, 2003.) In its report, the IMF noted that investor demand was contributing to the property price increases. It said that was understandable, because the expected returns on housing were far outstripping returns on other assets in Australia in the early 2000s.”
"Consequently, by the end of 2002, investor housing accounted for 30 per cent of the stock of housing loans, compared to 18 per cent a decade ago,"
Australians are being played for mugs by the *Investor Class.*

Hey, please have a look at the presentation slides from Adam's yesterday's Workshop for Ukraine! Lots of good material here: https://bsvars.org/2025-03-bsvarSIGNs-w4UKR
The #trade wars #Trump is declaring on almost all industrialized and emerging countries, along with his behind-the-scenes #monetary maneuvers to reduce #USA 's #debt servicing by forcing the U.S. #dollar down on the foreign exchange #market ,are likely to plunge the #global #economy into an unprecedented #recession .What a calamity this #president is.
Right this minute, Elon #Musk and the #Trump administration are trying to subject America to a rapid program of 
destructive austerity.
There is no one better to discuss the economic implications of this than the economist and professor #Stephanie #Kelton.
A former chief economist to the Senate Budget Committee and economic advisor to Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaigns,
Kelton is the author of
“The Deficit Myth,”
the book that catapulted the ideas of #Modern #Monetary #Theory into the mainstream.
Much of Kelton’s career has been spent on dismantling the intellectual underpinnings of the idea that the government cannot afford to help us all.
I spoke to her about the Republican economic agenda, inflation, crypto, Donald Trump’s inexplicable beliefs, and what the feckless Democrats should be doing now.
Our conversation, lightly edited for length and clarity, is below.
