Ray Dalio's video explicitly explains the causal link between printing money and corruption.
Printing money (as a fiat reserve currency) implies the decline of rule of law and therefore corruption, but corruption does not imply that money was printed, nor does the lack of printing money imply low corruption.
- tpm 3y ago> "corruption does not imply that money was printed, nor does the lack of printing money imply low corruption." If corruption is independent of money printing, "Printing money directly fuels corruption" is not a true statement.
- hayst4ck 3y agoI think if you draw out the logical statements I've made one implication correctly. I claimed A implies B is a true statement and that if A implies B is true, that doesn't mean B implies A or ~A implies ~B. (although ~B does imply ~A if A implies B). True: A implies B: Printed money implies a rise of corruption ~B implies ~A: Low corruption implies money wasn't printed False: B implies A: A rise in corruption implies printed money ~A implies B: Not printing money implies low corruption I did not say A and B are independent, I said A implies B, not A IFF B.
