@TryllaTröllMaistre Fictitious Fables of Europa So about the one administration comment, it doesn't matter how many administrations runs how much. Even if a couple run an equal amount, if one starts selling, the market is just gonna follow because it's basically driven by human emotions; mainly fear and greed. The housing bubble was a time bomb ticking that was just waiting for someone to pull the trigger. It really didn't matter who pulled that trigger. The system was ill-founded and as people are mainly driven by their own greed, they abused it to its core.

For fifteen thousand years, fraud and short sighted thinking have never, ever worked. Not once. Eventually you get caught, things go south. When the hell did we forget all that? I thought we were better than this, I really did." "I just know that at the end of the day regular people are going to pay for all of this. Because they always, always do." and I agree to everything he says. It's sad but people just don't care about the world, they only care for themselves. They don't take interest in the economy or politics, they care more about their entertainment. And those that do care about the economy or politics care only for their selfish needs. It's all about what "I" want and "my" selfish desires not being able see the bigger picture. That's what ultimately leads to turmoil, disaster, and crisis. And yes, though I try not to sound too much like so, I am bitter about the world, even to this day to an extent though not as much as the past for America. Which is why I can relate to the Steve Eisman in his past. Resetting won't fix anything. It will just eventually start everything all over again, just with different people. It would be a vicious unending cycle because you're not fixing the core issue; human greed, and you can't fix that unfortunately.

Interesting how after 30 seconds in you realise that Mr. Eisman is an incredibly bright guy to whom you should listen and this feeling increases from second to second during the interview. Good interviewer, too!
“They mistook leverage for genius” Actually they were right. They look(ed) at it from their own wealth perspective. They used over leverage and heavily increased their personal wealth while taking on risk for someone else (their employer). Do you think these multi millionaires regret what they did? They understood the situation perfectly.
People on Wall Street are told by their higher ups to never worry about systemic risk. They know if the failure is large enough, they will be bailed out.
I remember driving home from work and seeing these massive houses being built and wondering wtf is going on. Then a young couple purchased a house down the street from me and had a furniture truck pull up and unload all new furniture. They also had 2 new Hummers and two kids. I met them and they both worked at Best Buy! I couldn't believe it. The husband told me he had 80k in credit card debt during a conversation during one of the home association's fourth of July picnics. I had a sense something was wrong with the economy but just couldn't put my finger on it.
I like him. Obviously very intelligent and best part is he has no problem saying he doesn’t know when asked a question he doesn’t know that answer to. So rare in this day and age. Everyone tries to bullshit their way through a question in fear that if they don’t know something they’ll look stupid. Follow this man’s example.
This guy is so right about quantitative easing. There was never supposed to be more than one quantitative easing. Rome had devalued its denarii by reducing its the silver in its coins from 99% to 50% to in the end about 1%. It never got better and they couldnt properly maintain the army that made them a world power.
This is a Swedish business channel. This lady doesn't even speak English as her first language! CNN, MSNBC etc, you seriously need to pick up your game. Edit: I'm not sure all that many of the replies below understood my comment at all.
CNN is total garbage. But i don't see what that has do with her speaking good english. I think CNN talks about supposed Russian election interference to distract everybody from real issues. Like the fact that they gave debate questions in advance to Hillary Clinton.
If the Steve Carell portrayal was accurate, Eisman really has mellowed out a lot since the sh-t hit the fan. This was an interesting interview--he is one of the few people I would actually trust about financial matters.
So much has changed since this interview. Eisman says that leverage is much lower now, which was true in 2017. Fast forward to now, and leverage is now higher than in 2008.
Yes. Makes you wounder. If the government can just make things like this happen and then the banking industry revs up the leverage machine. Causing inflation and higher taxation. God help us all.🥶😈
They have commercialized and monetized the existence of humanity to a point where the indoctrinated masses feel their lives have no meaning unless they are consuming what they are told too.
A PERFECT example of how to conduct an interview . No shouting . No loaded , biased questions. Intelligent questions that have been well thought-out are answered with clear , thoughtful responses. The lady speaks English so beautifully and she's polite . While way way way way down the other end of the scale there is imbecile Jim Acosta !!!!!
Thomas Headley I don’t. None of them are. Political media is a cash grab. They don’t care about integrity or real journalism. But nice try trying to devalue my opinion as some gutless hillbilly.
This is one of the excellent textbook interview that talks about very sensitive issue . This one should be watched by anyone interested in broadcast profession .
Knowing next to nothing about economics, it's refreshing to hear Mr. Eisman speak in such a clear, understandable and cordial manner. It would be nice to hear his views about the pandemic's effects on the economy, how to minimize their severity and duration, and how to make the system more robust. (Improved healthcare is one)
@rockn roll The euro has caused enormous problems throughout Europe. The countries on the Mediterranean, called 'Club Med', have been raped economically by using this currency.
Italy's problems were visible from a mile away. Italy almost suffered the same fate as Greece in 2008 and never really recovered from the crisis. Now Corona will do them in completely. But the overall issue in the EU, an issue that has been debated all the way back in the 80s when the first discussions about this topic happened, is the common currency. A currency usually reflects the economic strength of the country giving out the currency. Meaning if there is an economic downturn the currency's value goes down which in turn makes it easier to get exports back up. This makes it easier for countries to get back on their feet. Now in the EU everyone has the Euro and it kind of reflects an European average, meaning that economically weaker countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal etc. have a much more valuable currency than they should have, making it much hard for them to recover after a crisis. While economically strong countries like Germany can export much cheaper than they would be able to with their own national currency. Germany has a massive trade surplus and Germany's surplus is all its neighbor's deficit. The idea of this economic union does work in a half-assed approach like that. Either you need to fully integrate and have mechanisms to mitigate issues like these, or you need to go back to national currencies, which would be a very bad idea in my opinion.
@@BangThaBazie The US$ works because of the large capital transfers, from the richer areas to the poorer ones. These aren't in the form of debt: the money is *given* to the poor areas. This allows a single currency to service the needs of an area with many different economies. Germany refuses point blank to give money to Club Med, only allowing them to run up debts which, as you point out, their weak economies can't repay. Euro can only work if it follows the practices of the US$. That won't happen, so the Euro will destroy the EU far more effectively than political incompetence.
@@panama1942 I'm so late to the party that the place is an ancient ruin, but I'm guessing the OP is not dismissing people for making money, but talking about the sentiment that much of the finance industry makes money without adding value to the economy. And in my opinion, that is a far more interesting and reasonable claim to explore. I know several successful VCs believe that day-trading is practically gambling and much of what hedge funds do is bordering manipulation without benefiting anyone but themselves. I don't even remotely have the knowledge to examine the claims beyond what I want to believe and what the majority believes.
@@panama1942 The main pro-argument I've heard is that the securities can help price the market more correctly, but when it comes to high-frequency trading it probably doesn't help the company get a more fair evaluation for the rare times they need to raise capital (e.g. a few times a year). And overwhelming unprofitable startups with negative PR while massively shorting them is arguably neither optimal for the economy. And as I understand it, over-leveraging is the most common systemic flaw in securities.
I worked with this man and many other analysts- He is typical of the best of these people-he's very interested in separating the true from the false. I hope the political people beat a path to his door.
I'm glad some one else thinks in disasters. My coworkers constantly berate me about it. I always remind them the best way to make sure a system doesn't fail is to understand what causes it to fail.
Great work. The interviewer tiptoed along the fine line between sticking to the structure of her questions while adapting to the answers he was giving.
the fact that he compared his view of the crisis to Noah's Ark is interesting since Steve Carrol in Evan Almighty becomes Noah and builds a fuckin Ark LoL!

How convenient that a virus originating in China destroyed Trumps economy, and now Nancy Pelosi and other democrats admit China wants Joe Biden to win. “Nothing to see here folks”
@@QBlessed93 I have to say it's not just the US economy feeling the effects of covid, the Chinese market is also feeling it. And as for China "wanting" Trump not to be reelected, it might have something to do with the trade wars he's engaged in. Trump being re elected would strengthen China's position in my opinion.
Michael Sutton You’re correct that other countires including China are feeling the effects. The difference is that the US is in an election year, while they have a lifelong communist ruler. Their government can afford a recession or even a depression, and their power structure will remain the same. The US is in a power struggle, and China is shifting the leverage towards Joe Biden and the democrats for their own political purposes.
@@akal1236 It can still be a housing crisis, granted it's under different conditions. JPM put aside 8 Billion+ of their own money for loan defaults + they canceled higher risk mortgages. QE is a sledgehammer to actual capitalism when it's used too frequently. Look at Bank of Japan and the ramifications. We basically become a perpetual Well fare state that can't have enough organic growth to survive a modest Interest rate hike without the system failing. There's a reason the interest rate are dipping negative on the futures. If don't stop QE soon we'll get to a point where we won't be able to dig out of.
It is amazing how different the US economy has become over the last two years since this interview. His assessments at the time were accurate with the information he had. However, now exactly what he predicted WOULDN’T happen is HAPPENING.
Interesting to hear the man himself, especially that he said income inequality was the source of the crisis. But he sounded as complacent as the bankers he criticises; that the deleveraging has been “successful” and the “culture has completely changed.” The interview just touched on “bankers going to jail” and didn’t deal with systemic fraud. It also hinted at too-big-to-fail banks but he thought Dodd-Frank had fixed that. Why are financial markets incapable of correctly pricing and evaluating risk? Has the nexus between Wall St and the Fed been broken? We have seen spectacular gains on the stock market but this price inflation isn’t matched by the real economy. A year after this interview even the limited Dodd-Frank reforms were being wound back. This time the response to the crisis is not more QE but trade war, militarism in preparation of kinetic war, more austerity and the expansion of the police state. The crisis also brings revolutionary conditions because the social order offers no future for the majority of humanity, ie the working class, while a tiny elite engorges itself to become the wealthiest group in human history. See: www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/03/16/dodd-m16.html Senate Democrats join Republicans to gut Dodd-Frank banking regulations By Tom Hall 16 March 2018 EXTRACT ... The bill increases the threshold from $50 billion to $250 billion for banks to be considered “systematically important financial institutions” and subject to closer regulatory oversight. This includes the establishment of “living wills” which outline the process by which a bank can be liquidated without destabilizing the economy, and requiring banks to undergo “stress tests” to prove that they can handle a major economic crash without going bankrupt, as occurred in 2008 with the collapse of banks such as Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual. This was portrayed dishonestly by senators as an attempt to protect local “community banks” from the allegedly crushing costs of complying with financial regulations. “What I have said consistently is that Dodd-Frank was supposed to have stopped too big to fail, but the net result has been too small to succeed,” Heitkamp told reporters. In fact, companies exempted under the higher threshold include giant entities such as Barclays, American Express, BB&T and BMO. The Senate bill also exempts banks with less than $10 billion in assets from the “Volcker Rule” prohibiting high-risk investments with federally guaranteed deposits. It also exempts banks which have granted fewer than 500 mortgages from reporting requirements. ... END
very good interviewer. she seems highly intelligent and articulate, and holds herself capable when conversing with a man like eisman. great job all round and very interesting watch.
gotta say: this guy - what a cool dude! secondly: really good performance by Steve Carell - he should do more serious stuff. and thirdly: why isn't this guy in politics? finally there is someone who knows what he's talking about
He wouldn't get elected or stay elected long. Any number of things from personal skeletons to the very different dynamics between business and politics would kill any career he would build. At best, he'd be like John the Baptist: a lone voice in the wilderness. Lone voice politicians are not very effective. Most likely he'd actually resign due to the REQUIRED lack of ethics that is demanded of all politicians.
The next *big* short? In the US? Student loans -- comparing them to what happened in 2008, student loans are a molehill; but they can do some damage. It's around $1.4 trillion of student loan debt with around 11.2% of them in default. The cost of college is far too high... mostly motivated by a little dynamic where the faculty administration ratio used to be around 20% administration, 80% faculty. These days it's closer to 50% administration to 50% faculty. HIgher education as we know it is at risk. The Universities are in a misguided arms race where they keep trying to out spend and out build their competition. In this way, one could say that Universities have become more and more leveraged over time.
Me personally? No. Although I'm sure that Goldman Sachs could if they wished... take a look at this article: www.quora.com/Is-it-possible-to-short-the-student-loan-bubble I should probably say that I'm not suggesting that anyone go long or short on anything. I'm just of the opinion that the administration in higher education have collectively hurt the prospects and the futures of more young, naive, educated Americans than any other group I can think of. (Whoever happened to be responsible for the 2008 recession notwithstanding). I should say that I currently have no personal stake in this issue. My comments are mostly fueled by rage at the deliberate torturing of the concept of a non-profit institution by the University Administrations in this Country to fuel their own pockets at the expense of our future.
The big difference when comparing student loans to the mortgage crisis is that the housing market was "backed" by the massive mbs market, where banks and people bet on a market that they thought was stable. There are no such thing related to student loans, therefore any potential delinquencies with student loans would be isolated to a single market. Not even remotely as bad as the effects of the housing market crashing.
I know of no reason why the student loan market couldn't be securitized. So... how can we be sure that it isn't? Is it not possible to do these things privately? Is it possible for a private network to be extensive enough that when a large private network crashes, that it doesn't bring down a score of other public networks as well?
i was coming down here to comment on how great this interviewer was, and see all the other comments.. jeez I don't need to say it. she knows shes good.
@13:55 "and now it can be told story" a nod to Phillip Gibbs groundbreaking 1920 book when the first real accounts of British soldiers in World War 1 were allowed to be published as to not demoralize the public during wartime. Also known as The Realities of War. Poignant as hell reference.
There should never have been ANY governmental interjection onto the crisis. The reason being is that until it happened all you ever heard coming out of the financial sector was, "Get out of our way, leave us alone, and we'll make money and all will be well for everyone." There ought'a be a law!!!

This is the guy who said ZERO possibility and took his call and left the conference
Always thought that was a strange move that he let his sensibilities get the better of him and basically advertised his short position.
@@mrtoad1408 because he was not in it purely for the financial gain. He says himself in this interview that although he was aware of the coming crisis, he was not hoping for it, on the contrary. He wanted to warn people of their own stupidity (but he was probably aware the probability that they would listen was ZERO!)
@@simonr7097 Very well explained!
@@mrtoad1408 You know it doesn't matter right? He's still making the trade of his life no matter what because he's betting against a market that's about to crash.
The whole housing market of the US in that case.
Not marketing his short position would only make more people lose everything and him getting a bit more of money. Which isn't illegal but is definetly immoral at that point.
Steve Carrell should have gotten the Oscar nod for this, not Bale
Bale sucked. Michael Burry is nothing like the crazy portrayal Bale came up with for who knows what.
Bale didn’t suck per se, it was a good acting job, but poor character direction
A parallel can be drawn with Jared Leto joker. It was bad acting and bad character directions
It's all crap anyways.
@@charles-y2z6c how so? They covered the financial disaster quite accurately.
Garrett K whats all crap is the Oscars. I loved the book and movie, lived the event working in a financial institution.

She’s incredible! Well thought of questions, and always has a simpler question in case her initial incredible (but maybe a little broad question) is something he can’t answer. She clearly did her homework beforehand, and clearly understands the basics of Finance and Banking in general. Absolutely top notch, and 18 minutes of pure learning. Great job
I think you're right she's very good at drawing out information
It's scripted/pre planned. That's why she asked him things he just happened to think a lot about or answering yes to a long leading q

@@mindfucker88 Interviews are about answers, not questions.
FIFTY6IX lol
Gosh, this interviewer is the perfect mix. Intelligent, comfortable and beautiful.
I really loved the realistic direction the movie took on how the characters reacted to the crisis. As you delve into the world of finance you learn that you're only a speck of dust in the sea of the market. You really can't do anything to change it. The only thing you can do is react to it sadly; even if you know what's going to happen. This is implicitly told in the story where Jamie and Charlie try to warn the people by contacting the Wallstreet journal for which the journalist did nothing, telling their family of what would happen which nobody listened to. Mark going around telling people how wrong the system which absolutely no one listened to; not even Morgan Stanley, leading them almost to bankruptcy. The market is essentially moved by the people in the market and their fear and most importantly greed. Greed is the ultimate human nature and survival instinct so it's impossible to make the market rational because people just aren't rational. It's sad, I know, but that's just how history repeats itself. As a person who can really strongly relate to Mark Baum (or Steve Eisman), I would think that's what he realized too. Even if you want to save them, you just can save those who aren't willing to listen to you.... Hence the reason why he mentioned the analogy of Noah's arc I believe.
I see you also watched Margin Call.
Interesting how after 30 seconds in you realise that Mr. Eisman is an incredibly bright guy to whom you should listen and this feeling increases from second to second during the interview. Good interviewer, too!
“They mistook leverage for genius” Actually they were right. They look(ed) at it from their own wealth perspective. They used over leverage and heavily increased their personal wealth while taking on risk for someone else (their employer). Do you think these multi millionaires regret what they did? They understood the situation perfectly.
Exactly
People on Wall Street are told by their higher ups to never worry about systemic risk. They know if the failure is large enough, they will be bailed out.

She did an incredible job interviewing Steve. Very informative.
This guy looks like he knows what he is talking about, he should try investing
😂
I see what you did there.
What a brilliant interview. She asked intelligent questions and got intelligent answers
I remember driving home from work and seeing these massive houses being built and wondering wtf is going on. Then a young couple purchased a house down the street from me and had a furniture truck pull up and unload all new furniture. They also had 2 new Hummers and two kids. I met them and they both worked at Best Buy! I couldn't believe it. The husband told me he had 80k in credit card debt during a conversation during one of the home association's fourth of July picnics. I had a sense something was wrong with the economy but just couldn't put my finger on it.
What came of them...?
I like him. Obviously very intelligent and best part is he has no problem saying he doesn’t know when asked a question he doesn’t know that answer to. So rare in this day and age. Everyone tries to bullshit their way through a question in fear that if they don’t know something they’ll look stupid. Follow this man’s example.
Thanks Mr. Eisman, and Ms. Marcal for the best interview I've seen in 20 years...and something else. Hope.
There is no hope. The majority of POS's you are given to vote for in Washington are in on it.
This guy is so right about quantitative easing. There was never supposed to be more than one quantitative easing. Rome had devalued its denarii by reducing its the silver in its coins from 99% to 50% to in the end about 1%. It never got better and they couldnt properly maintain the army that made them a world power.
Fast forward to 2021... leveraged debt is at an all time high.
Sooooooooooooooo much higher! Stupid higher!
This is a Swedish business channel. This lady doesn't even speak English as her first language!

Idiotic statement
CNN is total garbage. But i don't see what that has do with her speaking good english. I think CNN talks about supposed Russian election interference to distract everybody from real issues. Like the fact that they gave debate questions in advance to Hillary Clinton.
If the Steve Carell portrayal was accurate, Eisman really has mellowed out a lot since the sh-t hit the fan. This was an interesting interview--he is one of the few people I would actually trust about financial matters.
Wow! Eisman got through an entire conversation without dropping one F bomb!
People always swear more in movies
So much has changed since this interview. Eisman says that leverage is much lower now, which was true in 2017. Fast forward to now, and leverage is now higher than in 2008.
Yes. Makes you wounder. If the government can just make things like this happen and then the banking industry revs up the leverage machine. Causing inflation and higher taxation. God help us all.🥶😈

Bill bartman Yes, she doesn’t want to push for an idea. Besides, he doesn’t speak non-sense and that certainly helps.
Knowing next to nothing about economics, it's refreshing to hear Mr. Eisman speak in such a clear, understandable and cordial manner. It would be nice to hear his views about the pandemic's effects on the economy, how to minimize their severity and duration, and how to make the system more robust. (Improved healthcare is one)
Very articulate interviewer.
Luke she's either phenomenally good at interviewing and doing proper research. and/or has a finance background
Probably a combination of both.
Luke She would have voted for Hillary.
And she's smart enough and courteous enough to let him talk - unlike so many ego interviewers. She did her homework and she did a great job.

A truly fantastic interview, I know very little about the financial markets yet Steve and the interviewer kept me captivated throughout.
Its worse now
I just recently got in the market and after learning a lot, I rlly enjoyed the movie
7:10 Did he just call the 2018 Italian debt crisis?
Yes
@rockn roll The euro has caused enormous problems throughout Europe. The countries on the Mediterranean, called 'Club Med', have been raped economically by using this currency.
Italy's problems were visible from a mile away. Italy almost suffered the same fate as Greece in 2008 and never really recovered from the crisis.
Now Corona will do them in completely.
But the overall issue in the EU, an issue that has been debated all the way back in the 80s when the first discussions about this topic happened, is the common currency.
A currency usually reflects the economic strength of the country giving out the currency. Meaning if there is an economic downturn the currency's value goes down which in turn makes it easier to get exports back up. This makes it easier for countries to get back on their feet.
Now in the EU everyone has the Euro and it kind of reflects an European average, meaning that economically weaker countries like Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal etc. have a much more valuable currency than they should have, making it much hard for them to recover after a crisis. While economically strong countries like Germany can export much cheaper than they would be able to with their own national currency. Germany has a massive trade surplus and Germany's surplus is all its neighbor's deficit.
The idea of this economic union does work in a half-assed approach like that. Either you need to fully integrate and have mechanisms to mitigate issues like these, or you need to go back to national currencies, which would be a very bad idea in my opinion.
@@BangThaBazie The US$ works because of the large capital transfers, from the richer areas to the poorer ones. These aren't in the form of debt: the money is *given* to the poor areas. This allows a single currency to service the needs of an area with many different economies. Germany refuses point blank to give money to Club Med, only allowing them to run up debts which, as you point out, their weak economies can't repay.
Euro can only work if it follows the practices of the US$. That won't happen, so the Euro will destroy the EU far more effectively than political incompetence.
What 2018 Italian debt crisis? When did that happen?
God I wish the U.S. had news like this. Much more educational and informative.
I like this guy even though he’s in finance. Shit, even if he made a buck, at least he cared......
hudsontoo1212 Well fuck a guy for making money like everyone else does
While I generally agree with your statement, he didn't just make a buck, he made a BILLION... so he's in no hurry as he says..
@@panama1942 I'm so late to the party that the place is an ancient ruin, but I'm guessing the OP is not dismissing people for making money, but talking about the sentiment that much of the finance industry makes money without adding value to the economy. And in my opinion, that is a far more interesting and reasonable claim to explore. I know several successful VCs believe that day-trading is practically gambling and much of what hedge funds do is bordering manipulation without benefiting anyone but themselves. I don't even remotely have the knowledge to examine the claims beyond what I want to believe and what the majority believes.
@@Muskar2 You’re not wrong, much of the finance world is just making new securities to bet on and make more money.
@@panama1942 The main pro-argument I've heard is that the securities can help price the market more correctly, but when it comes to high-frequency trading it probably doesn't help the company get a more fair evaluation for the rare times they need to raise capital (e.g. a few times a year). And overwhelming unprofitable startups with negative PR while massively shorting them is arguably neither optimal for the economy. And as I understand it, over-leveraging is the most common systemic flaw in securities.
When she asked if the problem was the product or the culture... amazing question! 👏
I worked with this man and many other analysts- He is typical of the best of these people-he's very interested in separating the true from the false. I hope the political people beat a path to his door.
If he’s honest the politicians won’t want to know him unfortunately.
I'm glad some one else thinks in disasters. My coworkers constantly berate me about it. I always remind them the best way to make sure a system doesn't fail is to understand what causes it to fail.
Great work. The interviewer tiptoed along the fine line between sticking to the structure of her questions while adapting to the answers he was giving.
Steve Carell nailed that accent
Congrats for the interviewer, excellent questions !
Whoever decided Steve Carell against Pitt for this role is a genius

How convenient that a virus originating in China destroyed Trumps economy, and now Nancy Pelosi and other democrats admit China wants Joe Biden to win. “Nothing to see here folks”
@@QBlessed93 I have to say it's not just the US economy feeling the effects of covid, the Chinese market is also feeling it. And as for China "wanting" Trump not to be reelected, it might have something to do with the trade wars he's engaged in. Trump being re elected would strengthen China's position in my opinion.
Michael Sutton You’re correct that other countires including China are feeling the effects. The difference is that the US is in an election year, while they have a lifelong communist ruler. Their government can afford a recession or even a depression, and their power structure will remain the same. The US is in a power struggle, and China is shifting the leverage towards Joe Biden and the democrats for their own political purposes.

I know right! Real estate crisis 2.0?
Investing Intelligently it won’t be real estate causing this shrinking ship this time around, but it will widen the hole
Why would it be real estate?? This bubble has to do with unlimited QE and MMT.
@@akal1236 It can still be a housing crisis, granted it's under different conditions. JPM put aside 8 Billion+ of their own money for loan defaults + they canceled higher risk mortgages. QE is a sledgehammer to actual capitalism when it's used too frequently. Look at Bank of Japan and the ramifications. We basically become a perpetual Well fare state that can't have enough organic growth to survive a modest Interest rate hike without the system failing. There's a reason the interest rate are dipping negative on the futures. If don't stop QE soon we'll get to a point where we won't be able to dig out of.
Steve Carell sounded just like him, that is pretty cool.
Oh look, an actual well-articulated interview.
It is amazing how different the US economy has become over the last two years since this interview.

I've seen it half a dozen times and it just get better with age. If every interview could be like that
Interesting to hear the man himself, especially that he said income inequality was the source of the crisis.
But he sounded as complacent as the bankers he criticises; that the deleveraging has been “successful” and the “culture has completely changed.” The interview just touched on “bankers going to jail” and didn’t deal with systemic fraud. It also hinted at too-big-to-fail banks but he thought Dodd-Frank had fixed that.
Why are financial markets incapable of correctly pricing and evaluating risk? Has the nexus between Wall St and the Fed been broken? We have seen spectacular gains on the stock market but this price inflation isn’t matched by the real economy.
A year after this interview even the limited Dodd-Frank reforms were being wound back. This time the response to the crisis is not more QE but trade war, militarism in preparation of kinetic war, more austerity and the expansion of the police state. The crisis also brings revolutionary conditions because the social order offers no future for the majority of humanity, ie the working class, while a tiny elite engorges itself to become the wealthiest group in human history.

Senate Democrats join Republicans to gut Dodd-Frank banking regulations
By Tom Hall 16 March 2018
EXTRACT
...
The bill increases the threshold from $50 billion to $250 billion for banks to be considered “systematically important financial institutions” and subject to closer regulatory oversight. This includes the establishment of “living wills” which outline the process by which a bank can be liquidated without destabilizing the economy, and requiring banks to undergo “stress tests” to prove that they can handle a major economic crash without going bankrupt, as occurred in 2008 with the collapse of banks such as Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual.
This was portrayed dishonestly by senators as an attempt to protect local “community banks” from the allegedly crushing costs of complying with financial regulations. “What I have said consistently is that Dodd-Frank was supposed to have stopped too big to fail, but the net result has been too small to succeed,” Heitkamp told reporters. In fact, companies exempted under the higher threshold include giant entities such as Barclays, American Express, BB&T and BMO.
The Senate bill also exempts banks with less than $10 billion in assets from the “Volcker Rule” prohibiting high-risk investments with federally guaranteed deposits. It also exempts banks which have granted fewer than 500 mortgages from reporting requirements.
...
END
Great hearing a billionaire talk about income inequality. Cleary he is part of the solution
Well put
very good interviewer. she seems highly intelligent and articulate, and holds herself capable when conversing with a man like eisman. great job all round and very interesting watch.
"I'm not going to say whether that was right or wrong"
Him in the movie: "it was wrong."
gotta say: this guy - what a cool dude! secondly: really good performance by Steve Carell - he should do more serious stuff. and thirdly: why isn't this guy in politics? finally there is someone who knows what he's talking about
He wouldn't get elected or stay elected long. Any number of things from personal skeletons to the very different dynamics between business and politics would kill any career he would build. At best, he'd be like John the Baptist: a lone voice in the wilderness. Lone voice politicians are not very effective. Most likely he'd actually resign due to the REQUIRED lack of ethics that is demanded of all politicians.
The next *big* short? In the US? Student loans -- comparing them to what happened in 2008, student loans are a molehill; but they can do some damage. It's around $1.4 trillion of student loan debt with around 11.2% of them in default. The cost of college is far too high... mostly motivated by a little dynamic where the faculty administration ratio used to be around 20% administration, 80% faculty. These days it's closer to 50% administration to 50% faculty. HIgher education as we know it is at risk. The Universities are in a misguided arms race where they keep trying to out spend and out build their competition. In this way, one could say that Universities have become more and more leveraged over time.
can you actually buy credit default swaps on student loans?
Me personally? No. Although I'm sure that Goldman Sachs could if they wished... take a look at this article:
www.quora.com/Is-it-possible-to-short-the-student-loan-bubble
I should probably say that I'm not suggesting that anyone go long or short on anything. I'm just of the opinion that the administration in higher education have collectively hurt the prospects and the futures of more young, naive, educated Americans than any other group I can think of. (Whoever happened to be responsible for the 2008 recession notwithstanding).
I should say that I currently have no personal stake in this issue. My comments are mostly fueled by rage at the deliberate torturing of the concept of a non-profit institution by the University Administrations in this Country to fuel their own pockets at the expense of our future.
You cant, you need a special license to do those trades
The big difference when comparing student loans to the mortgage crisis is that the housing market was "backed" by the massive mbs market, where banks and people bet on a market that they thought was stable. There are no such thing related to student loans, therefore any potential delinquencies with student loans would be isolated to a single market. Not even remotely as bad as the effects of the housing market crashing.
I know of no reason why the student loan market couldn't be securitized. So... how can we be sure that it isn't? Is it not possible to do these things privately? Is it possible for a private network to be extensive enough that when a large private network crashes, that it doesn't bring down a score of other public networks as well?
Excellent video! Wonderful interview.
This is a good interview!!
i was coming down here to comment on how great this interviewer was, and see all the other comments.. jeez I don't need to say it. she knows shes good.
@13:55 "and now it can be told story" a nod to Phillip Gibbs groundbreaking 1920 book when the first real accounts of British soldiers in World War 1 were allowed to be published as to not demoralize the public during wartime. Also known as The Realities of War. Poignant as hell reference.
There should never have been ANY governmental interjection onto the crisis. The reason being is that until it happened all you ever heard coming out of the financial sector was, "Get out of our way, leave us alone, and we'll make money and all will be well for everyone." There ought'a be a law!!!
Dodd-Frank is gone, CFPB is gone... still think it's safer today?
Neither of those stmts are true.
