In this episode, I review the latest data we have gathered with regards to inflation in the US. Today, we received the PPI data. Yesterday, it was CPI. Now we can put these two datapoints on top of PCE data for Feb that we received around end of March. This is starting to create a picture of how the producer and the consumer is experiencing inflation, and how the Central Banks are starting to posture in regards to inflation.

I have traded in markets for a number of years now. Based on that experience, in this episode I discuss about the concept of a personality if one were to be attributed to the market.

So far, we have been building a model of a market and a market system. In this episode, we will push that model to the edge. We will explore the dark side of markets.

Once I had this model of a market and I started to examinw different things around our world, different phenomenon via that lens, a lot of things started to make sense. What is also interesting is that these occurrences from our real world fit very well into this model of the market and the market system.

Let’s take it one more step further – markets not only cannot solve all the problems we have, but they sometimes end up creating new issues. While analyzing the concept of markets, it is important to also understand the dark side of markets as well.

Markets do not always work perfectly. Sometimes markets fail as well.

So, what do we mean by market failure?

And why does it happen?

Thus, here are the three scenarios of market failure:

• Functional failure
• Role failure
• Outcome failure
