Classic 05: A History of 5 Stock Market Crashes w/ Scott Nations

Feb 1, 2022

Scott Nations, author of "A History of the United States in Five Crashes," dives deep into the significant stock market crashes from 1907 to 2010. He highlights how today's FED policies echo those leading to the 1929 crash. Nations illustrates the 1987 decline of 22.6% in just one day and critiques the 2008 financial incentives that led to a massive market failure. He warns that future crashes may resemble the rapid 2010 flash crash rather than past events, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of market dynamics.
