What do you think it means for business in the next 5 years?

: Need your thoughts.

I have been looking at some date and since you got a maritime master’s (a business degree) from a great school, I want to get your assessment of what going on in our economy and the current and future impacts.

Take a look at this chart from FRED,

Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: Purchasing Power of the Consumer Dollar in U.S. City Average (CUUR0000SA0R) | FRED | St. Louis Fed (stlouisfed.org) (Links to an external site.)

I have also been plotting some important economic historical dates on this chart.

*When the Federal Reserve was created. (Is this a government entity? and what do they do?)

*The year FDR confiscated Gold.

*Bretton Woods (what is this again)

*Going off the Gold Standard (Can you buy a Fiat car with fiat currency?)

*Quantitative easing (QE). There have been several rounds of QE going back to the housing bubble, but I am looking at QE now.

*Money Printing over time

*Wonder what the commercial interest rate looks like over the same period?
