I break down four of the biggest lies we’re told about inflation, from the idea that prices must always rise to the fantasy that GDP growth means we’re getting richer. I show how money printing, cheap debt, and fake economic metrics quietly transfer real wealth from workers and savers to the already powerful. If you’ve ever wondered why everything feels more expensive and more fragile, this is a quick demolition of the stories we’ve been sold.
