The Great Depression Explained | How Money Works

The Great Depression ExplainedDuring the 1920s, America was thriving. National wealth had doubled from the year 1920 to 1929, over 12 million households purchased radios, and electric refrigerators became widely available. The Ford Model T revolutionized travel, places such as motels, grocery stores, and movie theaters were now easily accessible, and large scale automobile companies created thousands of new jobs. Americans began moving into cities, people didn’t have to sew their own clothes, and citizens all across America began buying the same brands of food, listening to the same music, and doing the same dance (the Charleston). This became known as the “Roaring 20’s”Disposable incomes rose, families had more money, and everyone including line workers, janitors, the ultra rich, and even banks using consumer’s deposits started pouring money into the stock market. At a time with no Robinhood or Charles Schwab, investors had to visit brokerages in person to buy stocks. And with no Twitter or iPhones, important news about companies that happened after the morning newspaper would be distributed when a paperboy announced a mid-day “Extra.”#TheGreatDepression #WhatCausedTheGreatDepression #HowMoneyWorkshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=The%20great%20depressionFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

You Don't Want To Start A Business - But It's Important That You Think You Do - How Money Works | How Money Works

You Don't Want To Start A Business - But It's Important That You Think You Do - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈The culture of being an entrepreneur, or an investor, or a freelancer is increasingly driving young professionals to pursue career paths that are truly not in their best interests.Now starting a business can of course be incredibly rewarding, and I might sound like a bit of a hypocrite here because of course I started this YouTube channel (at least in part) because I thought it had the potential to be very profitable… and it has been which is great.But I am also well aware of the fact that I have been extremely lucky, (like winning the lottery levels of lucky) even to get to where I am today. I am also aware that a YouTube business is about the easiest possible business in the world to run. The product distribution, advertising, accounting, server hosting and invoicing are all handled for me.It’s also incredibly low risk. If my channel never took off, I would have wasted about $300 in equipment and software subscriptions…Now I bring up YouTube because it’s one of the defining examples of a business model that is perpetuating the idea that if you are not a “Hustler” you are failing at life.So if you have ever even subconsciously thought that you are destined to be a business owner then it’s time to learn how money works to find out why it might not be all it’s cracked up to be.#Entrepreneur #Career #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Link to my brand new Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ❤️ ___________________________________________________________________________Music by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind.#realestate #housingmarket #moneyAffordable housing has become THE defining challenge of this generation not only in America, but across most of the world.House prices have grown so much faster than wages that young people will struggle for years JUST to save a down payment, all so they can struggle for DECADES to make the RE-payments on their mortgage. At the same time we are told that our home is our biggest asset, and the last time the real estate market saw a significant dip, it took the global economy down with it.So can we make houses affordable… without destroying the economy?According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau the homeownership rate in America is sixty five point six percent [65.5%] so the majority of people have a direct financial interest in not seeing their biggest financial asset lose its value.This is in SPITE of the fact that according to a study by the CATO institute EIGHTY SEVEN percent [87%] of Americans are worried about the cost of housing which means there is a big overlap between people that want affordable housing… as long as it isn’t theirs. This means the only winning course of action for politicians is to performatively make the problem worse. Administration has announced plans to offer tax credits of up to $10,000 to families selling their home to another owner occupant in addition to another tax credit of up to $5,000 to offset mortgage rates for first home buyers.These could be used in conjunction with a TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR [$25,000] bonus for first generation homebuyers.BUT if you are a new buyer and you get $40,000 worth of extra tax bonuses and grants, all that will do is make affordable housing… $40,000 more expensive which doesn’t really make you any better off overall. So just making houses cheaper isn’t enough to make houses more affordable UNLESS you look at some radical… and not so radical solutions, that won’t be politically popular… but just might work…So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out if you can make the houses affordable… without destroying the economy in the process.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Everything You Need To Know About the Chinese Evergrande Crisis (So Far) - How Money Works | How Money Works

Everything You Need To Know About the Chinese Evergrande Crisis (So Far) - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈For those of you who are not already aware this has the potential to be far more than a run of the mill corporate bankruptcy. Evergrande employs over 200,000 people directly while also providing work for as many as 4 million subcontractors who work to erect thousands of buildings for the company every year.Beyond just job losses, the company is also holding deposits for 1.5 million properties that may not be delivered to regular Chinese citizens who were just looking for a home or an investment property.Now loosing a home is terrible in ANY country, but perhaps nowhere more so than in China. The value of these properties compared to the incomes of people buying them is astronomical, and it often takes multiple family generations to save up for a deposit.Because of this, real estate has become basically the only thing that most people invest in, and over a million people losing that investment will have massive knock on economic impacts beyond just putting people out on the streets (as is that wasn’t bad enough already)Despite these social issues and the apparent threat to the national and global economy the Chinese government has said that they are not prepared to bail out the company.Why? Well politics… but there are a few things that you need to understand about this crisis as we watch it play out in real time.The first is how this collapse actually started in what looked like an otherwise very healthy company?The second is how bad could this get if the government does not step in?And the third is, Will this all be contained? Or could this leak out and cause an economic collapse in countries outside of China?#Evergrande #ChineseEconomy #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Link to my brand new Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ❤️ ___________________________________________________________________________Music by Epidemic Sound___________________________________________________________________________Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Ethical Investing is BAD Investing... Here's Why - How Money Works | How Money Works

Ethical Investing is BAD Investing... Here's Why - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈Ethical investing has become incredibly popular in recent years.The promise of being able to put your money towards businesses that don’t harm the environment, exploit vulnerable workers, or engage in bad business practices is obviously very attractive.The idea of this practice is that by denying these bad companies access to investment, they won’t have the opportunity to grow and continue their harmful practices.Some big names in the investment space have also backed up an ethical investing strategy by saying that not only will it do good for the world, but it will also do good for your wallet, because it can offer higher returns than a traditional investment strategy.The problem is that… it almost certainly can't.Ethical investing may feel good but under the surface it effectively re-brands one of the biggest mistakes that people are make when getting into investing, not being diversified…What’s more is that ethical investing might not actually have the positive effect on the world that you might initially expect from listening to the thought leaders in this space.So it’s time to Learn How Money Works and find out why ethical investing is bad investing.#EthicalInvesting #Investing #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Link to my brand new Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ❤️ ___________________________________________________________________________Music by Epidemic Sound___________________________________________________________________________I was going to link to the Monte Carlo Simulator here, but it turns out that the software that I get given from work costs about $10,000 per year to use.

This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind.#work #businessLate last month, the paragon of wise economic decisions… Greece… introduced a SIX day forty-eight-hour work week.The country did this at the same time as its European neighbours have been successfully experimenting with shorter four-day work weeks, but the Greek government has insisted that this new change is the key to tuning its economy around by simply working harder than everyone else.It’s a bold strategy, and for the sake of working conditions everywhere we better hope it doesn’t work… unfortunately, it just might…It’s very easy for Greek workers to find jobs that pay better in other countries because as a member of the European Union they are free to reside and work across borders with very few restrictions.In order to correct for this loss of manpower the government has decided to introduce a six-day work week to make up for all the workers who have left the country and to support all the elderly people who can no longer support themselves.By raw arithmetic their logic makes sense… kind of…Output is the hourly productivity of a worker multiplied by how many hours they work. If Greece has fewer workers, it can increase its output by just getting those who are left to work even longer and harder.Instead of magically creating high paying jobs like promised, what this new law is really about is squeezing the most out of workers on the other end of the pay scale.Retail, transport, construction and hospitality are jobs where companies just need someone behind a counter or on the tools for as many hours of operation as possible to serve customers periodically.A large share of what’s left of the Greek workforce are in these types of roles, and businesses are ALREADY demanding a lot of extra hours from their employees.It won’t make workers work harder, it won’t create high paying jobs, it won’t improve productivity, it will drive away what few young workers the country has left, it will lower hourly wages and create terrible working conditions for the whole country.It’s all around a terrible policy, but unfortunately, it’s not just Greece doing this.So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why the six day work week might be catching on… everywhere…Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
