About this listen
💰 Inflation, Interest Rates, and the Sneaky Power of the Money Printer
You didn’t vote for them. You can’t opt out. But central banks — like the Federal Reserve — quietly shape your entire financial life. And sometimes? They tax you without ever calling it a tax.
In this episode of Plebonomics, we pull back the curtain on how central banks control the money supply, move interest rates, and accidentally (or not) make your paycheck worth less over time.
We break down:
🧠 What central banks actually do
📉 How inflation acts like a silent tax on your savings
📈 Why raising or lowering rates hits your rent, debt, and even your job
💵 How printing money can feel good… until it doesn’t
No tinfoil hats here — just a clear, real talk explainer on how power flows through the financial system, and why you feel it every time you swipe your card.
Let’s talk money, control, and the invisible levers behind the economy.
