金利上げても庶民の暮らしが悪くなるだけだ、と。原発再稼働を！

 

 

 The breakdown of the relationship between employment and inflation that took place during this period is now seen as the death knell for the Keynesian consensus. Given that inflation wasn’t being driven by high demand, it could not simply be solved by cutting government spending, raising interest rates, or negotiating wage restraint with the unions. The problem was energy.

Making borrowing more expensive will simply constrain a stagnant economy even further, curbing consumption and investment — and therefore wages and jobs creation.

.In other words, higher interest rates will translate into even lower living standards for the millions of people already being severely impacted by high inflation. What’s more, they won’t impact inflation until energy prices come down, which will only happen with an increase in supply.

Investment in renewable energy is critical for so many reasons: to keep prices low, maintain energy security, decarbonize, create jobs, and recover from the pandemic.

インフレになると馬鹿のひとつ覚えのように金利あげて対処しようとするが、それは需要が高まったときに有効であって、今回はエネルギー高騰のせい。だから、燃料代がおちつくまで続く。 こんな状態で金利上げたら、庶民の暮らし向きが悪くなるだけだ、と。

　で、記事は、（ーー左派だから見当はつくと思うがーー）一時的な価格統制や食料支援、再生エネルギーへの投資すべき、というんだが・・・・食料支援を必要なところにするのはいいとしてなんだかなあ・・・

　再エネ投資も反対ではないが、時間がかかりすぎる。素人からいわせると原発再稼働だろう？
