Sectoral Balances

Sectoral balance macroeconomic equation, Godley & Cripps

 

Where S represents demand side savings

m:  imports

x: exports

I: supply side investments

g: government spending

t: treasury revenue

 

Trade deficit (m-x), stock market investment (I) in Chinese corporations, shadow banking and immigrat transfer of earnings back to families left behind all lead to a drain on liquidity and wealth away from internal American markets, demand side wealth and liquidity. While this loss imposes an every day sad reality to working America a growing wealthy class of international elites living on the supply side of the equation prospers in blissful denial. As direct beneficiaries of globalization the globalist elite look the other way.

 

A graphic representation of Capital displacement and its consequences might suggest:

 

Globalization                                       leads to                        Capital divergence

Democracy                                          devolves into               Oligarchy

Freedom                                              gives way to                 Idealogical subversion

Internationalism                                   evolves into                  Communism

Equality                                                turns into                      Dystopia         

Middle/Working class                           Looses to.                    Cheap foreign labor

US Manufacturing might                       Underwrites                 Chinese growth and military

Inflation

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation. Company revenue consists of inflated number,s as does cost and profit, thus the market reflects true inflation which must now be near 100%.

Tariffs versus Capital Surplus

"Trump is Completely Wrong on the Trade Deficit." Let Levin, Sowell, and Friedman Explain. In this interview, Melton Friedman claimed that "deficits are not bad. What's not to like about a capital surplus." In his book Arguing with Zombies, Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize economist, said, "An end to trade deficits? That's not something trade policy can or should do." The surplus profit earned through cheap foreign labor seeks the most profitable place to go. As the safest and most profitable option, that capital surplus lands in the US stock market. What's not to like about a capital surplus? That fondness intensifies with any threat of it going away, but why would tariffs be such a threat? Scott Bassett, US Secretary of the Treasury, on CNBC's Squawk Box, 4/8/25, said, "If we put up a tariff wall, the ultimate goal would be to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US. In the meantime, we will be collecting substantial tariffs. As I...
