Inflation and the Purchasing Power Index
Did you know the modern dollar has depreciated 97% since it was created in 1913?
Inflation is the silent threat to individual wealth in the modern world. Purchasing Power depreciates as a currency inflates. A common way to visualize dollar depreciation is through the Purchasing Power Index Chart published by the St. Louis Federal Reserve FRED website.

This episode discuss this chart, the data, and some history behind the data. This is a an entry point to discussions about the twin scourges of central banking and fiat currency. This podcast is not financial advice. This is educational content to promote financial literacy. I hope you learn something or learn a new way to articulate these ideas. Enjoy!
