@MoneyMacro this video is spewed bullshit. Keynesian economic theory is wrong, as the Federal reserve is a private bank with the primary objective of enriching its shareholders (the commercial banks.) Every economic crisis (suppressed asset prices) since the 1913 establishment of the Federal reserve has profited its commercial bank constituents. Central banks do not operate like commercial banks, they issue new currency (buying government debt without collateral backing their loans.) Commercial banks utilize rehypothecation - which is not "investing deposits" - it is a reissuance of additional unbacked currency. The "moral hazard" "problem" is accurate, aka plain fraud. Most of Jonny's points are accurate, interest rates are the primary driver of economic cycles and therefore inflation, because interest rates drive investment decisions therefore employment and retail pricing. The only difference between the failure of third world central banks and the Federal reserve is that the US has continued to coup governments to force global trade in USD; the reserve currency status (temporarily) ensures the world subsidizes USD quantitative easing. If you wanted actionable advice on markets you'd speak to a buy side investor or trader, not an economist.

It's just sad that more or less every Johnny Harris video needs a debunking. He does seem wellmeaning, but he often uses to few sources and commonly only read up on topics without consulting experts in the field. It's easy to misunderstand text books and you can't ask them clearifying questions so that is where a teacher, mentor, or expert is very helpful. The funny thing is if you reach out to a few experts one or more of them are likely to want to talk about their field because they're just really passionate about their field. So getting an expert on board isn't as difficult as some might think.

Money&Macro always does really great, balanced critiques. I liked his review of Economics Explained's videos.

It was interesting if you have interest in getting the details but if you are that concerned, just go to a university to get a degree. I feel like the purpose of Johnny Harris videos is not to teach people in detail about the topic. This guy needed 28 minutes to debunk a video. If Harris wanted, he could have made a video that long or even double that but that is not the point. People do not watch his videos so that they can get a degree in economics. I hate the fact that these kinds of videos is become a thing. He might have generalized a lot but that is the point of his videos.

@@maxrockatansky3710 I think if you watched this video, you'd know he's only pointing out details that Johnny Harris misinformed his audience on. Explaining economics briefly is not the problem, he just got a few things wrong. This video corrects and thankfully (because it's interesting) expands on those concepts. If you watch the video you'll see it's not more symbiotic with Johnny Harris' video than parasitic.

Now we need creators to get the peer-review done BEFORE the video gets published, like academic articles are. Peer review is great after the fact, but that means that people can still learn, and spread, the wrong information before any corrections are made.

@@Unova39 Totally agreed. In the meantime, stay sober people, use your brain, think critically, not everything out there on YT is true.

I was thinking just that, thank you

Personally, I enjoy many videos. Even if they are incorrect, you said it yourself - they're good storytellers. They know how to make a video, how to script it, and make all of it work. Those that are exposing these things should work in duos, consisting of a field expert and a someone who knows their way around content creation, and reach out to experts in other fields if necessary.

I think people like Johnny Harris get addicted to what “sells”. His videos often only tell one side of the story - the story that his audience wants to hear - which is often, but not always, the contrarian story. This makes the ignorant feel enlightened, or worse: validated.

Correct. And they also obviously get interested in certain topics. What they 'should' be doing is bringing in experts at this stage. Not trying to figure out these complex topics in two weeks. (Good example is PJ Voght, podcaster..)

His video on Swiss vs American gun culture is one of the biggest pieces of “accidental propaganda”, I have ever seen. Dude obviously grew up in an old money family, most likely in a gated community; I mean, just look at those narrow shoulders.

That's true, but you can get an idea of their intention by the way and consistency of error. Johnny is without question a propagandist. Johnny specifically follows a pattern. He starts with general disucssions that are generally reasonable and sounds non biaded. Then the consersation always turns to his biased manipulation of data to support his political bias. He's a good enough story teller (or at least his team is) that he can manipulate the facts in the early parts to set up his later propagandizing. He will make minor shifts of emphasis, provide conjecture as fact, leave out critical context, etc. It's pretty obvious what Johnny's inentions are once you start to recognize his pattern.

It's always a fun game to try and figure out who is paying him to say whatever he's touting in in his videos.

I had issues with him since his video on blue state politics and completely doesn't understand why Democrats in blue states still struggle to get things done is mainly because of there is a lot more political variance within the party in these states that range from moderate to far left. Not to mention their is a lot of disagreements on dealing with issues like homelessness and climate among democratic politicians.

I had to stop watching him, as he clearly approaches a lot of his subjects with a presupposed viewpoint he wants to push. He loves to tell the story that _feels_ right, even if the facts don't support it.

​@@theprecipiceofreasonthat exercise also applies amazingly well to kurgzgezat

It doesn't surprise me. It isn't the fact that he gives the wrong information but the way he frames it and most importantly what he leaves out. European white male bad. Messed up the world. Other countries good but are apparently helpless and stupid. Basically a woke politic journalist. Even as someone who is mixed race I can absolutely see people getting irritated when he does such politically charged topics while painting complicated subjects in broad and sometimes narrow minded strokes.

Very informative perspective. Thank you for sharing.

Way I always thought this was the reason he is not just liberal, but a strong version of corporation obsessed neo liberal with heavy amount of white man savior complex and Europe hatred. Johnny Harris is a strange form of neo liberalism that gets basic facts wrong and deliberately ignores facts to support his agenda. He makes agenda focused videos instead of fact based essays. Like in a recent people he talks about how Greenland should be become independent and how evil Denmark is. He made this video while ignored Greenland voted to stay with Denmark’s. That Greenland has a right to vote to leave Greenland at any time. He somehow even forgot to mention that held or Greenlands economy is free money that Denmark gives them, which is why Greenlands stays. Their welfare based society would fall apart without denmarks money. He has such a white man savior complex he is telling Greenlanders what they should think, which if they actually did, would literally destroy their society. And the worst part is, Johnny Harris is not a stupid person. He is extremely educated at some top colleges and worked as a successful analyst and journalist for a long time now. This means he, and his team, are deliberately disingenuously mis informing his audience to promote his strange neoliberal ideology.

Thank You! This!

That can be lack of intelligence in itself. Einstein was brilliant at turning the most complex problems in human history into something 90% of the population could easily understand. Its like those that grossly overengineer a problem vs someone who has a very simple yet highly effective solution. The latter is much more difficult to do so just because someone can mentally handle a complex situation doesn't mean they're smarter. Thus when people say "they are too stupid to understand this complex situation" .. well know, maybe its that you havent found a simple way of doing it because perhaps you arent as smart as you think you are. And thats the counter to all of this is that the plebs wouldnt understand if you gave them the full story in a brief segment. So the only way is to remove so much that it's barely even truth.

Could you please explain to me what is time. Is it 12:44? Why is it? Where is it? And what is art?

If that is true, then it's a really sad fact of reality that most people cannot comprehend concepts on it's own unless helped by analogy... Analogy often leads you astray, making you believe things are different than they are.

@@fobusas I don't think it's sad, I think it simply it is what it is. Peoples brains tend to be wired differently and there's rarely a one size fits all way to explain abstract concepts. Also it is up to the teacher to come up with meaningful analogies and effectively measure a student's comprehension. A good analogy that works for the student will not lead them astray and they'll be able to quickly display understanding.

to be fair, it's pretty condescending

Its pretty biased lmao

Shhh

hmmm@@Nutra5

There will always be a accurate way to simplify complicated things as long as the general message is correct. But that cannot be done by illinformed people like Harris.

I remember once saying, "this is basically a lie, that's not how it works, but for the purpose of explaining the next bit without spending a week on this, that explanation will work". There are a number of topics where the background explanation is far more involved that subject. I think as long as you explain to people this isn't a perfect explanation and where they can go to find out the detail, it's fine. For 100 series classes this is fine and pointing people to the 2-300's that delve into it more, gives people a path if it sparks their interest.

Your verdict?

As a data scientist who does a lot of statistics work, this is where I'm coming from too. If someone is going to make a spherical cow how accurate is it and to some extent what's its precision? And, are they making it obvious it's a simplified model? Because dealing with large datasets is complex, every report I make has to be a simplification. It's a stereotype that data scientists overly data dump minute details onto everyone because of this situation. I admit I am guilty of this. It's hard to say X customer will do Y with a 68% probability without talking about a handful of edge cases to let everyone know, but management just wants the overly simplified version. What I think would be cool is if Johnny Harris did a 102 video of his 101 video for anyone interested, a sort of debunking the over simplification from the get go. Most people don't want that level of detail, but for the people that do, it's there and it helps people new to the topic be able to learn the information without information overload.

@@rutvikrs My verdict is overall he has somewhat low accuracy, but high precision. That is, he's over simplifying information. By leaving out 102 details it leaves incorrect implications to the viewer. (That's the low accuracy.) However, his overly simplified information is often correct as you can reasonably get given the lack of detail. (Called precision.) Keep in mind I'm referring to overall information. You can find outliers that counter this average pretty easily. Macro also highlights a good point in his video, that Johnny's newer videos are improving. Johnny is growing which is great to see.

He's a bagel guy, not a donut guy, silly!

​@@petyorakovplain bagel

Donut guy is full of bs as well. I called him out many times in his videos. He's just a parrot for his firm. source: I have a degree in finance and have worked in the industry many years (still do). Unless a finance guy is teaching you how to create financial models and research he's just blowing smoke.

It’s the editing and storytelling. That is why he is a top video essayists.

"I think he was shocked by the reserve requirements." Which makes it seem like he just fell off the tuna truck. Not exactly a confidence booster in his acumen.

indeed, you'd have to assume he didn't actually think banks keep all of our money in vaults. In other words he probably wasn't using the words" me" or "I" in the most literal sense. Like you said, he was probably surprised by the actual reserve requirements etcetera and also surprised at how surprised he was, despite his prior general knowledge of how banks work. So he was like "if I'm this surprised, imagine how surprised many of my viewers will be". So he proceeded to use the rhetoric trick of using the "me"-form even though he wasn't really truly representing his own thoughts and positions, because that resonates hugely with all of the viewers who identify to some extent with the concept of banks keeping savings in vaults. Meanwhile the people who did know how little money the banks have to keep, well they get to feel smart because they supposedly knew something JH didn't know. Brilliant xD It's either something among those lines, or JH was much less knowledgeable then he should've been if he claims to have studied economics for 4 years at university.

Yesss. It's not the core of the channel. But, I will keep doing them every now and then. I think it is needed on YT.

I partly agree with you. During my economics degree I expected teachers to be profound and precise, but I found many times they do it understantable. However, for a short, simple and engaging video, I completely understand there will be some misleading concepts. Maybe Johnny could have been more precise, but I doubt he could be more appealling to noneconomic geeks like us. In my opinion, he did a good job, maybe a 7 out of 10 in global.

The China/WEF video was even bad by his own standards as the narrative was completely jarring.

i last watched him over a year ago but i think his videos on crypus never mentioned bloody christmas or even the coup that spawned the crisis

What was inaccurate?

Only a little? His videos about colonisation was beyond terrible. He is pushing agenda rather than explaining history and historical phenomens.

@@cesenu19 I agree with you. On the story about how the US won the Philippines from the Spanish. He explained how a mock battle was staged between the surrendering Spanish and the Americans so that the Spanish didn't have to surrender to the Filipino Rebels in part because they didn't want to surrender to brown people. All true, at least in part. He said that was all there was to it. He totally ignored the bloody battle between the Americans and their Rebel allies vs the Spanish on the sea and on land with heavy casualties for months, as if it never happened, just the mock battle. Also when President Franklin Roosevelt gave his Day of Infamy speech to Congress after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he claimed that FDR didn't mentioned the Philippines a one of the several places the Japanese attacked at roughly the same time as they did Pearl Harbor, claiming FDR didn't mentioned them for racist reasons, when he clearly did in his address to Congress. I don't trust what he has to say, and it is not because he has obvious SJW opinions since my favorite historians I subscribe to run the political spectrum from Mr. Beat's (not the huge KZfaqr but a history teacher) progressivism to Vlogging through History's Conservatism to TIK's Libertarianism/Right wing Anarchism; the Cynical Historian's near SJW stance to The History Guy's I-can't-figure-out-his-politics (a good thing).

​@@majorfallacy5926Johnny Harris is not a leftist

@@PC42190 You just listed 4 blatantly leftist biased video-essayists of which at least the 2 i looked up back in the day don't have any qualifications to speak of either (and I assume neither do the other two, especially not the tankie). Y'all are just so far off the scale that you use neoliberalism as a slur for anyone who's not in your club, including moderate centrists with a sketchy understanding of economics when they don't rant against corporations for 10 minutes. I've been there, I know where you're coming from, so trust me when I say that the world is brighter on the other side once you get out of the youtube echochamber. Also neoliberals being socially progressive is not a "facade", it's the norm these days.

Says random user who uses words that mean the opposite of what they think

He should be in jail

But the journalists bring experts and then ask questions. He doesn't

We also live in an era where “experts” have been indoctrinated with false information or limited information. The most trusted experts have been shown to be the biggest frauds and part of a corrupt and dishonest system. Credentials don’t make one credible. Results do

That's a good point, but sadly also a vicious cycle. Bad education begets bad education, and there's no realistic way out of it within our lifespan.

The danger is that the people in those audiences then start to vote and shape public policy

When I first started (now ended) watching EE, I wanted what was on the tin, economics explained. Then when I wanted to go deeper into learning about economics it became clear that EE had a lot of issues and I looked into if others had the same concerns and lo and behold it was worse than I thought.

@@leress EE is so bad it made me angry enough to block their channel.

With his skills, he could have done something more accurate. Mr Beat makes short videos about the same topics and it's more accurate. He chose not to invest in accuracy. So he is responsible. He made that choice. We do not need more misinformation
