    Great video, I recently read his book capitalism in America. It's a predictably cherry-picked history of the United States. He only mentions the labor movement to talk about the frequency of strikes and does not touch on the violence enacted by the state on to workers at the direction of the companies, he ignores how workers established a 40-hour work week. He often contradicts himself by stating, for example, that Rockefeller was keeping prices low while conceding that he used money to prevent competition that would have driven down prices. He pretty much skips his entire tenure at the Fed, and Praises mortgage-backed securities while ignoring the role they played in the financial collapse.
    However, he did at least make some good points that were refreshing to see him admit to. He called Republican claims that lowering taxes would pay off the deficit as "putting lipstick on a pig". He admitted that privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was a terrible decision that massively increased government corruption. He also admitted that the economic boom that took place after World War II had more to do with Europe and Asia not having any industry to support itself rather than any particular policy the United States was following, and points out that we immediately faced a recession once those economies rebuilt themselves after the war.

      I didn't have the brain or stamina to finish his book or even understand most of what I did read. One thing that did stick was at that time his net worth was 1.5 million dollars. He said that was enough to care for his daughters life and give a good start to her two boys. That would be a sign of incredible honesty in my mind. But think about how after the 2008 crash they pulled him in for some scapegoating. He was asked when he first noticed a problem with the economy and he answered 2003. He retired in 2006 which makes me think he was held back from fixing the problem and wasn't going to hang around. In any case we didn't have any more scapegoating of Alan Greenspan. Now we have this putting the blame back on him.

    Greenspan, 82, acknowledged under questioning that he had made a “mistake” in believing that banks, operating in their own self-interest, would do what was necessary to protect their shareholders and institutions. Greenspan called that “a flaw in the model ... that defines how the world works. Greenspan destroyed fair wages and filled the gap with credit creating a pyramid scheme that led to a massive transfer of the nation's wealth from the middle class to the very wealthy few. He explained how the nation was misled about the need for higher payroll taxes that were used to finance deficit budgets. Greenspan deceived the American people into believing that deregulation and elimination of the progressive taxes were going to be a benefit. But instead, they moved our economy into exactly the same condition that existed just before the massive financial failure that resulted in the Great Depression of the 1930s.

    Paul Volker was right. A balanced budget and frugal spending is the best way to mitigate extreme economic boom and bust cycles. Put simply, at the individual or family level, live within one's means. I'm surprised Alan Greenspan said there are many things economists dont know. I guess he was so intelligent he overlooked the danger of leverage and spending much more than what the US earns.

So there is not just one central power but multiple entities that function independently. The fed doesn’t just lend money to the government, the Fed funds rate also determines the price of money for consumers. A good example for why that is necessary was said in this video, The Fed chair chose to counteract the president, because he wanted cheap funding for the war, but that would’ve turned on the afterburner of inflation. so their choice was between helping fund a war of the government or regulate inflation which otherwise would bankrupt most Americans and would devalue the dollar far too much. They chose Americans over the war. Furthermore the government gets the bulk of its „revenue“ from taxing the citizens, sadly especially the most productive ones (in democrat states) and also through private investors who invest in bonds. So yes, they can pay it back. The U.S. government is considered a very safe borrower, because it historically never defaulted on its debt. But they keep borrowing money of course to fund public spending, which is often very inefficient in terms of ROI, which means the investments were not very productive. In other words, the government is a shit investor.

      That is because governments don't create money, so they can either tax to get funds or borrow. The Fed actually allows the government to borrow at historically lower rates than governments who did not have quasi-public central banks at their disposal. Central banks allow governments to borrow well beyond their means, so your question just goes to show how untethered much current thinking is regarding public finance. The overspending/monetization leads to more debt, and too much debt has always led to slavery. Historically, imposing limits on governments' abilities to tax and borrow has ensured that populations do not get reduced to penury or slavery.

      No. The banks and the big players created a house of cards scam to rip off the public and raid the US Treasury by having the Glass-Stegall act repealed and using the TARP Act for bonuses.
      Investment houses created junk bonds by selling to investors mortgaged-back financial creations.They then promised great wealth even though Investing Firms executives knew the mortgages were sold to people with no money.
      Later, people went crazy selling their houses, buying and reselling for profit, but by now the buyers were stuck with high-paying mortgages on low-priced houses. Would you take out a $200,000 mortgage to pay for a house that used to cost $200,000 but ended up losing value and is now $125,000...for 30 years?
      I didn't think so; neither did the buyers of houses. They quit paying the mortgages until the junk bonds became worthless. It was 1987 all over again. The housing marketing crashed,the investments became worthless and the govt had to bail them out with taxpayer money.

    Greenspan's last comment demonstrates how he thinks even still that "he" was all economists. "What do we economists really know, if we didn't catch this?"
    Ummm plenty of fucking economists realized what Greenspan was doing from the time he began after Volcker... the same thing since 1908...
    A cycle of higher interest rates... then at peak interest rates to boost the economy these interest rates are lowered... and lowered... and lowered each time providing the short term sugar rush boom. That is always followed by a mountain of debt (that's how money is created into our system)... that cannot be repaid (the bust)... and at times it can lead to inflation... so then there is a tightening period where interest rates are hiked. Leading to a recession in order to maintain price stability.
    He got the golden goose of super high interest rates to end the 1970's Arthur Burn's induced stupidity stagflation. Something that should have been discussed, including Burns (then Fed Reserve Chairman under Nixon) CPI that Burns gutted and started excluding over 72% of what was in the CPI out of it... giving false nonsensical data that would show no inflation. Then he had to backtrack and r-add various items back into the CPI formulation.
    Volcker had interest rates higher than 20%... Greenspan's boom was simply reducing that to 1% over a period of 20 years...
    To add, doing what everyone else had learned and protected against with the Glass-Steagall Act... having that removed allowing monopolies to become a thing again, no more trust busting and we damn sure no Amazon to Microsoft to Google to Walmart, etc. etc. many other companies are outright monopolies and shouldn't exist as such both vertical and horizontal.
    Allowing stock buy backs to become a thing when prior they were mostly banned as they add absolutely no value to anyone workers or investors other than a short term buying frenzy to lift stocks for a short period so short term equity holders and options holders can cash out quickly while the short term buying frenzy of the company buying back shares happens. A complete scam... hence why they were very rarely allowed unless the company was literally buying itself into a private partnership, buying out all the public float and ending trade-able shares.
    The commercial banking and deposit banking having a firewall so deposit bank money was not utilized to speculate in securities of any kind, only to produce loans both signature and collateral loans for business and individuals. Commercial banking generally with those willing to risk their deposits on speculative potential pyramid and ponzi scheme like junk could do so at their own risk keeping everyone else from suffering the ill consequences of such scams.
    All this was undone during Greenspan's era and with his support.
    He lived thru the lowering of interest rates from 20% to 1%... no kidding equities went to the moon... that's debt binging money creation like never seen in US history. Japan did the same during the late 70's and thru the 80's culminating in their still continuing malaise that started in 1989 their stock market peak still even today 2022 has never achieved to break even.
    Everything he thought he "knew", rather thought, was wrong.
    Dead wrong.
    Ayn Rand lunatics with delusions of being some Morgoth of Arda or Sauron the swine robber baron like fat nosed JP Morgan or other of the ilk... no wonder he endorsed monopolies... the very thing that contradicts competitive market principles that is at the heart of the only good that so called "free" markets perform at all well... competition.
    Only reason a competitive market principles work is to have competition.
    Greenspan was a horrible egotistical lunatic who still thinks he was the economists economist. It escapes him completely to realize that many economists were warning his stupidity has already been done several times all thru the 1600's 1700's 1800's (1800's is cute because half that century the USA was in a recession, depression, long depression, or a panic). And complete culminated in the 1929 crash... hence all the reforms that included FDIC deposit insurance on money at the bank so we don't lose our money should a bank go bust... The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 which fully legalized unionization collective bargaining for all sectors of the economy.... the social security program to ensure elderly aren't left as bag women wondering until they die in the streets in parks and in ally ways... initially the Housing Act of 1937 updated several times during FDR's administration and into the 1960's into the HUD Act ensured affordable modern housing complete with actual foundations and floor boards, utilities including water, sewer, and electricity... even during the so called boom 1920's the vast majority of Americans lived in what we today would called hovels or slums apartments lacking water, sewer, electricity many of them dirt floors... shacks.
    All these things were either mostly or completely abandoned or undone.
    And we stand in amazement wondering why inflation is now sky high... why even prior to the pandemic millions of families live in their cars, tents, or an RV... KOA campsites of all small towns and larger cities get flooded with tenants the moment they're made as the vast majority of people cannot afford to borrow for a home, nor pay the rent prices despite working full time or even double or triple employment.
    We stand in amazement on how younger people die as they cannot afford critical medical supplies like insulin as they ration the amount... despite every other nation on this earth that has a form of universal healthcare and a pricing allowance knowing exactly the margin and costs to produce such medicines... not surprisingly the US medical supplies and services exceed these profit margins by 100's of times. Yet we have fewer clinics, hospitals, staffing levels, lag in test results, etc. etc. the worst care possible at the highest price possible. Any foreigner first told the price of our ambulance for one ride to the hospital... are surprised that a taxi cab (a luxury service) is cheaper... but it's emergency?
    So do you pay a lot of fire service too? Which fortunately the robber baron's have not privatized that.... yet.

      Who should pay for health insurance,affordable housing....and maybe(why not) an universal minimum income???And if you provide all this,who will clean your sewers,empty your garbage or work 12 hr shift for a minimum pay...so you can get your iphone at a minimum price???
      Monopolies are usually the result of competition,not allowing them would mean limited competition....and so would be the situation with the limitation of profit from the pharma industry.Don't believe me???loook at the "progress" done in the antibiotics sector that stagnates for years...why??because it is not profitable
      A society based on a nightwatchmen state, Individualism,libertarianism,voluntary asociation and self interest is the fairest type of society that exists.Eat or be eaten,get the prom queen or the ugly duckling...all depends on you...and the society has no obligation to provide them to you.
      p.s...btw,what is the price of a glass of water in the desert if i am the only one that can provide it
