      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.

      @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.

    A significant amount of the credit made available during the 1920s went into land speculation. A good primer on what occurred is found in the book "Only Yesterday" by historian Frederick Lewis Allen. Not only did investors become captured by the frenzy of the Florida land boom, this same frenzy occurred in many cities in response to population increases that triggered a significant increase in the demand for both commercial and residential land. An agricultural land boom also occurred during the First World War, during which time farmers borrowed heavily to expand their land holdings. A few years was required after the war ended for European farmers to recover, but by the mid-1920s global production exceeded demand, prices fell, farmers defaulted on loans, rural banks failed by the hundreds. As the land boom crashed, investors shifted heavily into the stock market, driving up prices well beyond what any fundamentals supported. Thus, by the end of 1929 the U.S. economy was stressed across almost all areas of production. To be sure, imprudent bank lending triggered the crash, but it was crash in the making because of the failure to utilize tax policy to tame the credit-fueled, speculation-driven land markets. A few economists (e.g., Harry Gunnison Brown, Scott Nearing and John R. Commons) had argued Henry George's case for the taxation of the potential annual rental value of land and of rents from other sources. This never became public policy, allowing the land market cycle to operate from boom to bust. Will we ever learn?

      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!

    Hoover signed the smoot hawley tariffs in 1930 (around the 12 minute mark). This led to retaliatory tariffs and a spiraling contraction in trade, and resulted in overall reduction in goods produced worldwide, and reduced global prosperity. This the primary cause of the deep severity of the Great Depression and only a minute of this 20 minute video is devoted to them, and they aren’t even mentioned by name.

      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!"

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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

    • @jarehelt
      @jarehelt 2 роки тому +2

      @@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

      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!).

There was no big internal issues it was the fact that the stock market look great but in reality the fundamentals the economy were not good. Same situation we are right now that fed keeps cutting interest rates to put EZ Money out there and people buy on the merging. Then they pump monies we don't have into the economy and say the stock market's doing great it's ready to top out and then it's going to tank that's what happened in the Great Depression and that's what's going to happen now you would think people wouldn't be so stupid they wouldn't fall into the same trap.

      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!
