One of the most common discussions in today's climate of "money printing" revolves around the peculiar realization that despite ultra-aggressive policy choices among central banks, inflation is nowhere to be found... or is it? The key to figuring out just that lies in understanding the difference between consumer price inflation and asset price inflation. The difference between the price of goods and services going up (as measured by metrics such as the Consumer Price Index or CPI) and the price of assets such as real estate and shares going up. The name of the game when it comes to this comparison is, as illustrated in this video's thumbnail... well, following the money. In approximately one minute, consumer price inflation and asset price inflation have been compared so that you have the knowledge you need to follow the money properly and understand that it ultimately all boils down to taking a step back and asking yourself what exactly happened (and didn't happen!) with the currency that has been "printed" since the Great Recession :)
