In , discretionary consumer goods generated an estimated USD1,bn in retail sales, accounting for more than a third of the total U. Companies in Europe and the US could face a profit squeeze from Q4 onwards as sustained supply-chain disruptions slow the manufacturing recovery.
IPO volumes are set to hit a new record in , offering investors higher return potential than traded equity, albeit with higher risk. But choosing the right IPO depends on more than just geographical location and sector. A mix of temporary and self-inflicted factors has sparked a sudden slowdown in China, which we expect to continue through Q4 and the beginning of next year. There's a difference between saving and hoarding.
Global growth remains strong but increasingly uneven amid evolving virus dynamics and the gradual removal of policy support. But we estimate that every percentage of grocery sales moving online threatens EUR Large companies will face a record increase in WCR in a context of a strong demand rebound triggered by the grand reopening, alongside severe shortages in inputs, labor and final goods.
With investors increasingly looking for yield-enhancing opportunities, China has emerged as a big capital hook, given its resilient economy, stable currency and relatively liquid fixed income market. While in the real economy the "Grand Reopening" party has just started, bond markets are seemingly positioned for a prolonged stagflationary scenario. Watch our for a multi-faceted recovery: high-pressure economics in the US, low-pressure economics in Europe.
The suffering of the Japanese population is far beyond the experience of most of us. I wonder if Summers and Noland would consent to having their homes and hometowns destroyed in the name of stimulating the economy.
Last night I asked my year-old children, sophomores in high school, whether they thought destruction could stimulate the economy? He correctly explained that resources going into rebuilding towns that were once perfectly usable are resources that would no longer be able to satisfy other needs.
My son gets an A in my economics course; Summers and Noland earn Fs. Of course, official GDP data may indeed show the stimulating effect of government spending; but this is simply how GDP is counted. Any money government spends is counted dollar for dollar in GDP. If government hires workers to dig holes and then fill the holes again, GDP may increase. But surely no one would argue that the economy has improved by such a measure. Having workers dig holes and fill them up again is not contributing anything to satisfy the urgent needs of consumers.
Government efforts to resupply the population are of course necessary. Those efforts will cost more than the displaced population would ordinarily spend on their own food and shelter. GDP will thus increase, but in no real sense has the economy grown. Again GDP may increase, but that is simply a problem with how this statistic is calculated. Have you ever been witness to the fury of that solid citizen, James Goodfellow, when his incorrigible son has happened to break a pane of glass?
Such accidents keep industry going. Everybody has to make a living. What would become of the glaziers if no one ever broke a window? Now, this formula of condolence contains a whole theory that it is a good idea for us to expose, flagrante delicto, in this very simple case, since it is exactly the same as that which, unfortunately, underlies most of our economic institutions. Suppose that it will cost six francs to repair the damage. I do not contest it in any way; your reasoning is correct.
In describing creative destruction, Schumpeter was not necessarily endorsing it. In fact, his work is considered to be heavily influenced by The Communist Manifesto , the pamphlet by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels which decried the bourgeoisie for its "constant revolutionizing of production [and] uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions.
Examples of creative destruction in history include Henry Ford's assembly line and how it revolutionized the automobile manufacturing industry. However, it also displaced older markets and forced many laborers out of work. The internet is perhaps the most all-encompassing example of creative destruction, where the losers were not only retail clerks and their employers but also bank tellers, secretaries, and travel agents.
The mobile internet added many more losers, from taxi cab drivers to mapmakers. The winners, beyond the obvious example of programmers, might be just as numerous. The entertainment industry was turned upside down by the internet, but its need for creative talent and product remains the same or greater.
The internet destroyed many small businesses but created many new ones online. The point, as Schumpeter noted, is that an evolutionary process rewards improvements and innovations and punishes less efficient ways of organizing resources.
