Oh, please. If building Amazon was that simple, anyone could do it, or it would have been done previously. I agree with you on a lot, but not this time. Bezos clearly understands economics, and he's made his business work in practice.
Now tell me how our POTUS, armed with economists, comes up with the notion that raising corporate taxes will slow inflation. Tell me how even more government spending will slow inflation.
It's not easy. Putting together the logistics to hand deliver most products to nearly anyone's home within a few days and keep them at a cost that is generally comparable to Wal-Mart
IS NOT EASY. The logistics of that are in fact extremely difficult to pull off.
But that isn't the same as understanding the macro economy.
If we increase corporate tax rate and don't spend it, then it would take money out of the economy.
If we increase it and spend it then I would say it would have zero effect either way.
I'm no expert but I generally see what government does as moving money in the economy around. It can hurt or help certain sectors of the economy but what it does to the economy on the whole is very small. I mean go look at money supply and you can see that money supply went from a very steady increase to a massive jump right when the lockdowns took effect in March.
Now that increase in money supply is too fast to be attributable to government actions as it took them a little longer to pass any sort of major spending bills to deal with COVID.
