I don't get it -- if there was a shortage of money, wouldn't prices and wages go down until they were in equilibrium with the money supply?

...for example, if the money supply halved, wouldn't both wages and prices also eventually halve and thus the same amount of work would still buy the same amount of goods and services?

Have a look at some of Hubertus content on YT

He explains it well

Still confused. The money is so expensive that we can’t afford it anymore / so there is not enough of it / so that’s why we can’t keep up with the progress / and the cows are standing without getting milked? There doesn’t seem to be a logical connection just proximity of analogies.

Would like to hear the actual argument. It’s cut off here. Maybe something like: when people have nothing to pay, producers are forced to lower prices?

Check out the full ep and the discussion is all there

I also recommend looking at Hubertus yt content as well

When money was too expensive why did the farmer let his crops die instead of lowering prices?

Why?

I honestly don’t know. I thought maybe seller didn’t realize that gold got more expensive and tried calling a bluff on the buyer. Yet that’s not a good reason because that wouldn’t repeat again.
