Hey Jeff, while this man in the clip is clearly a buffoon, this clip is lifted from the documentary, Finding the Money, which is a completely bullshit-propaganda movie by Stephanie Kelton, highlighting the nonsensical “advantages” of Modern Monetary Theory.
This clip from Jared Bernstein, Chair of the council of economic advisors, may help alleviate a fear to those who believe “those in power” are smarter than you.

Economics is simple….1) prices fall to the marginal cost of production in a free market and 2) We trade with each other (all over the world) to gain more value.
It just looks hard through a system trying to deceive you to retain its power over you.
