Pricing Power : The phenomenon where the value of money falls below the price of goods is called inflation , and it is said we are currently in an era of inflation. However, it’s not that simple. Inflation is realistically characterized by prices not rising all at once during an inflationary period but rather increasing rapidly for some items and slowly for others over several years. This phenomenon is known as the ‘ Cantillon Effect .’ In other words, inflation is neither uniform nor regular. Conversely, when prices fall below the value of money, it is referred to as deflation . To survive deflation, companies must innovate, often by reducing costs and expenses. During inflation, rising costs must be passed on to other economic agents through increased prices, a concept known as Pricing Power. Since companies cannot pass on all the rising costs, many go bankrupt during periods of inflation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Influence is not merely giving; it involves both giving and taking. Interaction creates change. Influence without change is simply a rumor. To truly give and take from one another, you must first embrace the world within yourself. If you do not open your mind and senses to the world and accept its stimuli and spirit, you cannot impact even the most abundant rumors. First, accept, and then react to the world. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
