Thank you!

@@EconClips Based on what is currently going on now, the tariffs, Trade War, increased in insane level of spending of those in power repeating the same mistakes which collapsed the markets and the economy?

How come who caused the Great Depression and Recession was never arrested. Who ran the Ponzi Schemes and Pyramid schemes. This is easy math to understand. Arrest the "investors" who took (stolen) more money out than they originally put in plus profits were earned. This is easy math. It's only simple math to figure out profits. Printing out free money (deficit spending) to make up this bad, simple math is unacceptable, it's simple math here. Stocks going up is to equal (match) dividends paid period, or it is impossible math. A Ponzi scheme. The Great Depression had a ton of this impossible math going on period Con men running their con. If you are investing; make sure it is solely on profits being paid or you are in a Pyramid scheme by con men. And how come these com men responsible for the Great Depression got away with blaming the Jewish people for it? We need to understand this so it doesn't happen again. History has a way of repeating itself. We didn't learn anything from history?

Yup and people are leaning to more government just like they've been planning. It's not a repeat it's a plan to control the people generation by generation because you can feed the new world bullshit to the kids waiting for that generation to catch up slowly til it over flows and floods the free markets poisoning its meaning.

@M M Bro this "pandemic" isnt even an atrocity. Heres some facts from the CDC for you, Covid-19 has a worldwide mortality rate of 1%. (ONE PERCENT), and the common flu has killed way more people. And the common flu comes every year, (AND in different strands!) Another fact, all of the people who have died from it have been; The elderly, people with already underlying health conditions/problems (cancer, tuberculosis etc.), and people who smoke/drink heavily. So when you see those commercials of a woman saying her husband got the corona and died, well if you do a basic fact check l, turns out either their husband already had a health condition or was a heavy smoker. Do stop worrying about it.

@ Barry Weiss. Correct

This process (in general) is a bit like bait: I ask you to invest $50 and make you think you'll increase its value to $500 (or a lot). Then, I do things on the side - affect interest rate, create laws, pull other strings - and put into place events that make your $50 mine. So, in the same way I baited the crab with the prospect of gain and then catch and ate him, financial people do that to us. Lesson: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. or If someone appeals to your emotion by telling you that you *deserve* this, that your family *deserves* these goods things, that you'll be popular if you buy/do this and unpopular if you don't, they are manipulating you, pulling your strings by using basic psychology. You have fallen for short term gain and denied yourself long-term gain. You chose quick and easy over the "right" way. We all have done it. Forgive youself, learn your lesson, warn others in a patient manner, and stop allowing others to victimize you!

Yep. Cause

@@MMA2018 stupidest explanation ever. cause i said so.

If there was a true free market in money (gold), there would be no repeated ups-downs in the economy. Only a paper-digital based, government-controlled "money" has that problem of creating havoc and constant price increases! Actually, it is the value of the paper "money" depreciating (resulting in higher prices), not prices in general increasing as the cause! The inflating is by the Central Bank machinery from the Federal Reserve banking cartel that 6 to 18 months later, shows as general price increases throughout the economy. Gold barely increases by maybe only 1% year-over-year, with new mining done. That proves the new "money" (paper or digital) after the gold standard was ended on Aug. 15, 1971, is a blatant failure to keep prices from going LOWER, as would be with gold-money instead of government-central bank created inflationary paper-crap. As Mises famously said, "Only government can take a good commodity as paper, slap some ink on it, and make it totally worthless!"

@@freeguy77 Didn't the Gold brought in from the Americas cause massive inflation for the Spanish?

@@squaeman_2644 Gold and silver need to be mined, which takes work (hard labor) in finding, then mining it, and refining it, then mint into coins for common use. Paper/digital requires no work or labor, so making it somehow as a unit of account ("money") by elitist central planning banksters in politicalization of a key invention by man to facilitate trade, will eventually destroy its purchasing power and blind trust in it by the commoners. Gold increases are by percentage change, extremely small in comparison to existing amount, so it is hardly noticeable, and does not cause the wild up-down, boom-to-bust cycles as seen worse after Aug. 15, 1971. The end of any 'dollar' tie to gold for the first time after the 1792 Mint Act defining the dollar in statute law (never repealed), after Hamilton's 1791 Report to Congress, finding the 'dollar' as 371.25 grains silver, and 24.75 grains gold; at a fixed 15:1 ratio. I hope this answers your question.

Michael Finn every gold standard ever has always failed

gold is hoarded and the suplly increased and decreased the same way The fed manipulates interest rates. So, it is out of our hands and controlled by someone else. Would be nice if we had something mor transparent so that no tricks could be played on us. Look at who controls gold, where it is stored, etc. It is inconvenient, but a system of bartering may be more honest. I'd love crypto to work, but merely controlling electricity and the internet may disrupt crypto - and who really controls crypto?! Most of it is traceable - except for Monero and one or two others - and who created those?

There were recessions before The Fed was establish, but, yeah... The Fed was created to siphon off our money, to mold the economy in ways that made BigBankers richer at the expense of others. But, lets not deny our own role in this. Gambling is risky and if casinos didn't win more than they lost, there'd be no casinos. The Fed is a powerful secretive casino of sorts - maybe one with a filter so that, out of every dollar you spend, it gets some of it and you never notice until The Fed releases destruction in the form of a recession or hyper inflation. let's stop being *fools* - stop playing their game. Stop investing in the compnaies they onw. Look us the top conglomerates to see which products and services they own and then stop giving your money to them. We complain, but don't want to make changes in our own life to stop these Puppet Masters. Vote with your dollar!

@@findingmyhealing57 He meant it to be because he's an Austrian Economics ideologue...

@@kaibaCorpHQ But your link has a take which is very much opposed to the Austrian position: more government intervention!

Summary: central banks are a socialist concept. The bank prints easy money, causing people to buy things they don't need. This misallocates scarce resources and causes a large amount of wealth to be transferred to a small minority. Thus, resulting in a depression. Printing money is effectively the same as collectivism and redistributionism, or outright theft. An economy that justifies theft on a massive basis will fail.

check fractional reserve banking.if bank get deposit of $1, they can loan up to 90% of it because banks will keep on lending it to people in a cycle.in the end, $1 can be given as $9 debt. for us it is illegal, but it is legal for banks.not only that, they even have the nerve to charge interest for it.thats why inflation is never going away.more people have debt, more money supply in the economy, more inflation.

yes. we must acknowledge that part of the fault is our own. we cannot control others, but by controlling ourselves we can prevent others from profiting at our expense. we can be our own worst enemy or our own best friend. our ego/vanity is so often our worst enemy.

This is much truer than anything said in the video.

Maybe all of those things mattered and maybe there are a few people who want to control what you know and so lie about the causes and hide the truth - so that they can do it again. Its like putting a chicken neck in a cage to trap the crabs. When there are enough crabs in the cage, you yank the cage up and then boil them alive. You put the half eatne chicken neck back into the cage -maybe with another chicken neck- and put the now empty cage back into the water to trap more crabs. That seems to be how The Fed (and their cronies) operate. And we are the stupid crabs who only see gain and fail to see the trap laid for us.

Good point. Recessions happen for all sorts of reason and are very unpredictable. The question we should ask is how to get out of a recession once we're in it. This is where Keynes comes in.

We don't need him hanging around any longer.

@@MyDadWasALifeguard What? How did 2008-2020 prove otherwise? What? I would agree though that fractional reserve banking per se is fine. The problem is central banking

@@kingofthecosmos3253 At least one documentary said FDR didn't pull us out of it, either. Perhaps we should blame presidents less and see what caused it and fix those things. Presidents don't have the power people think they have.

Oh...at the very end...barely

I am no fan of Keynes, but to have *only* gold backing our currency is silly since gold is so rare and the population keeps growing. Adding other precious metals and maybe even other commondities seems wiser. It could've at least been tested by adding silver, copper, and titanium. Test it until you find some stable equation and if it needs to tweaked now and then (when new technology finds uses for metals - such as for cell phones and solar batteries), then adjust the formula. Already, gold is hoarded and its supply is manipulated. There was even a case of a man in Texas trying to corner the silver market. The diamond industry works like that, too, by keeping lots of reserves and then increasing and decreasing the supply to keep prices just high enough. Now that I think of it, it sounds like what The Fed does.

@@genkiferal7178 Good insight! I commend you for raising good questions. First of all, it is a myth that gold is too rare to be used as money. If one oz gold coins become too valuable for everyday transactions, than people will simply use 1/2 oz coins or 1/10 oz coins. Money is simply a measure of value, It doesn't matter if we measure a rug in inches feet, or miles as long as what we are meauring stays the same. So any amount of gold will be quite enough. As for the hording issue, there is law of economics called Greshams law. Which states that bad money drives out good money. That is why silver quarters dissapeared from circulation when replaced with cheaper metals, after all, if they are the same face value.. wouldn't you horde the silver and spend the junk? So in theory, if we removed the bad money, hording will cease to be as much of an issue. Finally the issue of a bi metalic system is fascinating. We have used bi metalic system before, but our system had one glaring flaw that doomed it from the start. Fixed exchange rates, when we fixed exchange rates between gold and silver, one or the other would dissappear from circulation as the market values fluctuated. A bi metalic system isn't necessary for prosperous economics, but it isn't a bad idea either. For it to work tho, they cannot fix rates or we will wind up with a single metal system anyway I recommend a book called the creature from jeckyll Island. He explains all of this better than I ever could. It's a great listen on audible too

@@jarehelt Read that book 15 years ago and loved it. I understand and mostly agree that you'd simply use smaller increments of gold, but, when the metal becamse too rare (too hoarded and not enough mined), you'd have to make smaller denominations. ( Right now, some are talking about doing away with the penny and the world will soon transisition to cashless - easier to track and control us!). I agree that tying the value of one matel to that of another is useless. I like your name - i think - just noticed it.

They're gonna come after our social security.

No, the credit expansion started in 1921, and accelerated from 1927 to the peak in mid-1929. Then the Fed slammed on the brakes. But the damage had been done years earlier! The disastrous June 16, 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff massive increases (foreign import taxes) shrunk world trade, adding to the increase economic crash and higher unemployment. Hoover's further massive tax increases to "balance the budget" (1932) further cratering the economy, ballooning the deficit more, restricted private investment. Hoover's imploring corporations not to cut bloated wage rates again added to the high unemployment. FDR continued these government interventions and added more, destroying the free market so badly that private businesses could not plan with the constant government interventions--the owners never knew what the government central planners were going to do another central planning idea or when, next! It was all on the government, not anything to do with what remained of a "free market'." FDR even seized the private gold held, and the gold clause in bonds that the government "promised." Government promises mean nothing, which is why the Constitution needs to be obeyed instead of government always aiming for shortcuts around the prohibitions against government central planners! Prime example: the last time there was a true Congressional Declaration of War against a foreign enemy was against Germany and Italy on Dec. 11, 1941! 81 years ago! How many illegal foreign wars has the U.S. marched into since, disobeying that plain language? All those wars were not only immoral, as the U.S. was not attacked by a foreign government, but illegal because both Houses (House-Senate) must pass a Declaration of War, not some shortcut language, "authorization of force" crap! This proves the government will not be held down as the Founders promised in passing the Constitution in 1787, even with a Bill of Rights that is also increasingly ignored, and disobeyed by the central planning elitists!

Low unemployment during the war is not a "damn well" result. Before the depression the unemployment rate was much lower than 7.9

The only metric that makes FDR's economy look good is the unemployment rate and he largely brought that down through the draft, mass hiring by the government, and sweetheart deals with big corporations. It's much like eliminating poverty by printing million dollar bills for everybody.

YES!!!! Its a trap to entice us with gain. It is gambling. Invest in your own business or in your family's business. Supposedly, this is what some Indian and Chinese immigrants to the USA do and that is why some do so well. They invest in the businesses of close friends and family members and then spend their money in those same businesses so they see how that business is doing and *know* the character of the man they invested in. If Minal Patel is scoundrel, lazy, or an unrealistic dreamer, his family and friends wouldn't invest in his business. With the banks or stock market or even big box stores, we don't know the people we deal with. We may know a few low-wage employess, but we don't know the higher staff or have access to their accounting books. Even Ernst & Young auditors have been caught in scams or caught failing to audit correctly.

Capitalism is only good when their is many business that can compete with each other for quality for the consumer ( example of bad capitalism was during the gilded age of late 1800s when it was a big monopoly and trust within the big business ..... we kinda see some trust today too ) . When their is less business to compete you will see a increase on that product and less quality because no one else can compete ( examples are pill company's that charge a shit ton after another competitor shut down) with them , you will see quantity over quality, rn we are seeing small/local business struggling and once they shut down they shut down for good unlike big business. What make it worse they gave bailouts to casinos, Harvard and big business but give loans/debt to small business .

ITS up to us ( the people) to keep capitalism from going stale but some people think its to perfect to go bad or to improve it but history and human nature says other wise .

The Fed is not a government agency and gov't has almost no control over The Fed (run by BigBankers). And, we still have speculators and hedge funds that distort the market. And, we still have citizens who overspend and that has nothing to do with a gold standard. The supply of gold has been and is still manipulated in the same way interest rates are. Gold is more stable, but isn't the cure-all some think. Invest in your self, in your own business, in your brother or best-friend's business. Write in clauses to make him act right if that makes you sleep better at night. he has to allow you to audit his books and speak to customers so you know if he isn't running the business right. And, you get to frequent that business yourself as a customer, so know how things might be going.

@@MajinMist603 we now have monopolies and our leaders no longer enforce anti-monopoly laws. Amazon/AWS, for instance, owns a huge percentage of America's servers, so can control which site gets to say what.

never heard of that. but, i do know that at least once, the USA made it illegal for citizens to own gold. ironically, there are groups who hoard gold and thus manipulate supply and demand. Don't put complete reliance on one commodity.
