Efeitos redistributivos da política monetária
How the Fed Favors The 1%
The Fed doesn't expand the money supply by dropping cash from
helicopters. It does so through capital transfers to the largest banks.
David Hume, the 18th-century Scottish philosopher, pointed out that when
money is inserted into the economy (from a government printing press or, as in
Hume's time, the importation of gold and silver), it is not distributed evenly
but "confined to the coffers of a few persons, who immediately seek to employ it
to advantage."
In the 20th century, the economists of the Austrian school built upon this
fact as their central monetary tenet. Ludwig von Mises and his students
demonstrated how an increase in money supply is beneficial to those who get it
first and is detrimental to those who get it last. Monetary inflation is a
process, not a static effect. To think of it only in terms of aggregate price
levels (which is all Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke seems capable of) is to ignore
this pernicious process and the imbalance and economic dislocation that it
creates.
As Mises protégé Murray Rothbard explained, monetary inflation is akin to
counterfeiting, which necessitates that some benefit and others don't. After
all, if everyone counterfeited in proportion to their wealth, there would be no
real economic benefit to anyone. Similarly, the expansion of credit is uneven in
the economy, which results in wealth redistribution. To borrow a visual from
another Mises student, Friedrich von Hayek, the Fed's money creation does not
flow evenly like water into a tank, but rather oozes like honey into a saucer,
dolloping one area first and only then very slowly dribbling to the rest.
