When you can put everything on credit, nothing matters. People will just borrow the bad debt until a recession would have looked like the best thing ever. Weāre so screwed

If an economic system NEEDS a recession, not causes due to neglect or something, it needs it to keep going. Then maybe itās not the best economic system

This thing of no country wanting to fall back with its economy is solvable with a world government.

And what is the common denominator in every recession or depression??? The ultra wealthy keep what they own while everyone else pays the price, no exceptions. The common denominator is greed. Every recession is lead by riskier and risker and exponentially more unethical business practices and tightening the noose around workers' necks. The problem is always greed. Money doesn't just disappear, someone steals it.

The crash of 1929 (and the great depression that followed in its wake) was the most severe economic downturn in modern history.
A huge financial bubble, record inequality, loose borrowing and bad economic policies all combined to create a perfect storm of manufactured suffering.
The impact on regular workers was so bad, that many soldiers who fought in the second world war said they preferred serving on ships in the Pacific, because at least there they were supplied with rations and a place to sleep.
There are consequences. Weāre just turning a blind eye to them. Poor people canāt and are trying to scream in peopleās faces about whatās been going on for the last six years. But social media and crypto are one hell of a drug. And the upper 30% are willfully ignorant. Weāre all in the āfind outā stage, we just havenāt looked down yet.
BUT, what a lot of people forget, is that this downturn wasnāt all that unusual at the time.
Sure, the great depression was a little bitā¦ greaterā¦ than the rest, but between 1900 and 1929 there were no less than 9 separate economic crashes, and at least 4 of those would be considered major recessions by today's standardsā¦
Iāve said it pretty early on, but our economy hasnāt recovered from COVID. Itās getting propped up by AI corporations, just trading the same money back and forth. That bubble is going to burst, I think sooner rather than later, and when it does itāll be detrimental to everyone involved. Like without government intervention itās going to be on par with the Great Depression.
What makes this even more concerning is that today almost 100 years later, economists and historians still donāt fully understand what exactly caused the great depressionā¦ and if we donāt properly understand the lessons of history, it makes it very hard to learn from them.
The only thing isā¦ by one means or another, we have actually gotten really good at avoiding economic recessionsā¦ at leastā¦ on paper.
Fight back!
Eat the ultra rich!
Since the end of the second world war the frequency and severity of economic downturns has constantly declined.
Now you might point to examples like 2008 and the lockdowns of 2020, but they are more of the exceptions that highlight a rather concerning ruleā¦
AI bubble canāt fully pop too soon
The global economy really did take a beating five years ago thanks to lockdowns, but the average person actually saw their debts decline, savings increase and overall financial situation improve.
Beyond that of course, some other people did far far better.
"Too big to fail" is a LIE and it should never have been allowed.
Almost a century on from the great depression it looks like one of two things have happened, either we have found a cure for economic crashesā¦ or we have forgotten why we had these downturns in the first placeā¦
Lockdown was self caused and should not be mentioned

We know what caused the great depresion, austrian school of economics predicted it
@nejzk2026The rich love recessions. They can pay whatever wages they want and get record profits because everyone below them is desperate.
@LukeBoxMusikPeople used to sell their children lol
@haroldcampos9661I got a PPP loan as a college student for my lawn mowing business. No I am not kidding
@davidhochstetler4068sigh I hate how this completely glosses over the things FDR did. 2008 was caused by rolling back a law that was signed during his era. Basically creating loans from loans (mortgages) so incentivizing banks to hand out more loans. A really dumb obvious loop. We're now surrounded by idiots jacked up on antisocialist propaganda that want to help dismantle all the lessons learned. Monopolies, grifters making unneeded railroad tracks (now metaphorical), and the lack of understanding of what taxes actually do. I don't know how they expect corporations to do things like repair roads, increase electrical line capacity, or build public schools. Who is going to take out the trash? None of that is profitable nor should it be. All the printed money just goes into a black hole of a handful of people instead. Never to be seen again.
@KillerQ13This is very educational and insightful. Can you hit that guy in the groin with a sledgehammer again, please? š
@buffgoat716Can tell if simple error or AI slop, but the graph at 18:50 seems to be labeled backwards.
@macspressoFunny how the more power governments take after a crisis the more money their doners corrupt buddies get.
@haloe2233U.S been surpressing the true market rate on debt markets
@Rocket-z3k-q7qBoomers, it's always the boomers and their shenanigans of making sure that anyone after them won't have the same luxuries as they did
@PS3PCDJBring back gold standard and stop with government help for big companies
@PS3PCDJThis is all part of the design. Not covered here was the Federal Reserve coercing the government to put us on fiat currency in the 20s, the sole enabler of inflation. They literally steal your wealth every year, simply because they can.
@57ashdotRecession? Pssh did you know when you sign up for FanDuel you get a few free bets? Try Raid: Shadow Legends today!
@governm3nt697It's insane that your response to workers getting paid less is "the government should've given them money" instead of "capitalism should be at least regulated" or "companies shouldn't need exclusively profits" or "housing should be free"
@solarpelletsLeave it to an English person to totally ignore every bit of evidence we have on something and say we don't know why things happen. "Why does this keep happening?" Because of Greed. The top of the top pump the markets until it pops, then they buy up everything they can. Now, venture capitol has allowed them to do that slowly and between pops. But they can only pump for so long.
@TheNameIsClintNo.
The costs have been passed on the general taxpayer.
They have cheated, stolen and lied SO much, that women have no desire to give birth anymore. No kids, no future profits.
@AshleySpeaks4UNah, we've forgotten how to have a good revolution! Lol.
@bridgetteryan5876Entire thesis is stated at 19:30 really padding that runtime huh lmao. this could have been a tweet
@musiclistener9215its the same whywe keep every human alive even challanged peapole its unethical to let peapole starve or let forests burn
@SergoKoortWhy is Skibidi Altman in your thumbnail
@imallsoupedupLol it's called captialism
@Aliballerlearn from history? no way! thats too woke!
the maggots will redact you for such suggestion
i dont know about the rest of the world but the uk has been in a stagnation since 2008 so techincally its not a recession but theres no difference in everyday life if the economy grows 0.3% in a month or drops.
@braythesmall413118:57 the colors are flipped
@AnythingGoesCodesgood video
@styrofoamboogie2042If were in a recession right now id rather this then what it was like in 1929* just sayin*** all my adult kids are on my houses and land, banks so when i pass it just goes to them and no other issues .Just like our grandparents and our parents , Its a homestead. Baring a civil war we made sure our kids future was provided for seeing this coming down the road like a tornado. More parents should have done the same. But then again most kids are toxic and well thats thier problem. Sympathy no i have none. Your families and relatuonship needs to be strong and well if yoy raised snowflakes thats your problem.
