  • That sounds like many of the same factors we see today, but Peak Oil probably triggered the worst of this recession. You can't have economic growth without affordable energy growth, but perpetual growth of any type is an insane goal on a finite planet.

    That's what people still won't admit with all their "in depth" analyses of the situation. They fixate on the "need" for endless growth, not understanding its ultimate futility. Growth = debt, both financial and ecological.

  • song? thanks

  • this guy is leaving out the crooked Bankers! The were contracting the money supply... and playing games on wall street.

  • You are wrong. The Fed caused the great depression, not overproduction or wild investors.

  • I cannot use this for educational purposes here in Europe because the narrator is so badly spoken. Kindly speak more slowly and clearly next time. So many in the world do not have English as their mother tongue. Thank you. (I am American and can understand it but it is not up to standards as a teaching item.)

  • @CuteCatFaith

    Why?

    I feel that the narrator's speech was adequate.

  • @grendle7 When people are not English mother tongue, if the speaker does not use the international style and enunciate correctly, others get confused and discouraged and give up. This can be solved by subtitling things. I teach at all levels here and train and coach business professionals and believe me, the French are just as guilty about sloppy speech. They use all kinds of slang and "franglais" which is confusing and inappropriate. I am a radio announcer, also.

  • They didn't have Ben Bernake to bail them out.

  • @casper1918

    Like anyone wants him to bail anyone out.

  • I remember the Great Depression and the Dirty 30s, my parents always said it started with Woodrow Wilson, I wish I can remember what they said about him. I was only 2 years old in 1929.

  • what does it mean when he says 'inexperienced investers have been borrowing money against the stocks that havent been paied off yet?? :P like what does it mean to pay off stock?? im 12 and wat is this

  • @xX420DESTROYERXx

    Because of Credit, people and investors would pull out chunks of money from stocks and banks. Almost all of these people would spend the money foolishly; to soon find out that they had nothing in their piggy banks to pay back a $10,000 debt plus interests. The debts were actually in the hundreds of thousands, but I think you get the point...

    :b

  • We have these springing up all over the UK at the moment, as Ian Smith, the DWP Minister has just cut housing benefits for disabled and unemployed below the market rent level, so there will be an estimated 250,000 homeless in London alone in the run up to the Olympics 2012! They are building shacks out of crates and living in tents in churchyards in Bristol and London and getting Trussle Trust meals, but Bush and Blair each have 5 homes, despite being war criminals :)

  • @iBeep2009

    That sounds like soon-to-be hell...

    D:

  • I welcome their hatred!!!!! effffew bank criminals.

  • yeah, the farmers caused the draught by their bad farming practices??? they just didn't feel like going to college anymore??? sounds a bit slanted.

  • thanks, you just helped me for my exam tommorow.

  • i find saddness and dispare and poor people easy to masterbate to

  • What was the song in the end called?

  • The REAL "CAUSE" of the great depression: CRIMINAL BANKERS and CORRUPT POLITICIANS, exactly like today. 

  • Holy fuck,print money and delay shit,god help us.

  • @bigpotplant print money = debt. 

  • thx u just helped me with my social studies fair project thx MR.B!!!!!!!

  • soon be over? the depression lasted his entire presidency and even double dipped in 1937.

  • this wasnt the main reasons the main reason was this a bubble they give credit to invest in stocks they grew until they grew no more with the default of fgreat industrial country germany... didnt even talked about this, bad farming tecniques what a joke

  • Looks like America today ... Hopefully the new president that can turn all this around is Ron Paul and he gets elected !

  • It's back to the United Corporations of America......NOT United States of America

    Welcome to the New World Order!

  • obama has done what roosvelt did in that time so we are  in the rigth track of recovering

  • It's sad to see how the crooks have perverted the concept of social safety net. People need to desperately think outside of the box. I just listened to a video of Milton Friedman go on arrogantly talking about the depression was a failure of government not business. He went onto present the federal reserve as government. What a liar. He knew the federal reserve is private banking. People should be locked up for life spreading disinformation like that.

  • hello i am awsome ha

  • Perhaps you should comment on Hoover and how the policies under his administration contributed to the great depression.Wall Street Crash of 1929 occured eight months after he took office. Hoover tried to combat the Great Depression with volunteer efforts which did not result in economic recovery.He believed that the free market system would result in a leveling and recovery in Wall Street. It didn't happen!Hoover also concocted the Republican "Southern Strategy".

  • The Great Depression ended with America entering into World War II.

  • Explain that to a class of 10th graders in a small rural town of Georgia. All they need to know is that the policies were, in fact helpful. Maybe the numbers don't show it like you're detailing, but if people didn't get the jobs that FDR created, they would have starved. That or they would've lost what little hope they had left, and just quit on life.

    It's not always about numbers. People living in the country at that time didn't know the value of their dollar was being lowered.

  • @FJBuchholz4 hello

  • @FJBuchholz4

    People don't need courage or economic doctrine to point out the obvious and intended effects of political programs - bureaucrats and the media are very skilled at doing that, and any union, corporation or cartel can give a ready account of what their members have recently gained from a recent intervention, and of any secondary gains to "the public, as a whole".

    -

  • -

    Rather, they need this education to understand the unseen and the unintended consequences of these programs. To learn that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and to comprehend the full cost of an intervention, no matter who ends up paying it and when

  • @PanzerDivisionBOM The so called United States Chamber of Commerce has become a global corporate interest, a big union, that many small businesses are realizing squashes their success.

  • People need to start watching youtube videos of professor William Black at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. He investigated white collar misconduct during the savings and loan scandal. Yes sheeple, well educated guys and gals wearing nice suits can be as criminal and conniving as any crook...just more devastating to the social fabricate because they tear down trust. That's why glass steagall act was put in place...to build trust in banking that the crooked bankers ruined last time.

  • @wjksea

    Well, see...

    When big business and government are caught in bed together, redistributing wealth towards themselves, I tend to place the bear's share of culpability with the bureaucrats. This is because, in the absence of this unholy alliance, the business would either be efficiently satisfying consumer demand or not be a business at all, whereas the bureaucrat would still be engaged in some sort of coercion and market disruption anyway, as per his job description.

  • @FJBuchholz4 The value of the dollar skyrocketed during the GD because the Fed contracted the money supply by 2/3rds. As far as FDR's job creation, there is evidence that all the gov't spending prolonged the depression because gov't spending pulls capital from the private sector which is much more productive than the gov't.

  • @FJBuchholz4 Awesome video. Thank you. Just can't believe that America is all about money money money work work work because of the effects of the great depression... That didn't dawn on me until watching your video. Sometimes I get upset with America's virtues... I suppose I understand now, where it all came from. Thanks again.. you don't know how much this video put the internal conflicts about life, money and living into rest for me.. =)

  • We had crashes in 1907 and 1921, the government didn't get involved and the recessionary periods were over in a year or less. People don't realize that recessions need to happen in a natural economy. The Federal Reserve printing money/creating credit caused the Great Depression by delaying a recession, they made it worse than it would have been. Unemployment after the 1930 crash was 8.7%. FDR seized private gold, devaluing the $ by 40%. under FDR unemployment hit 25%. put away the govt text book

  • Your evidence of this?

    In the long run, we suffer from some of FDR's policies, but the people of this time were well worse off than we are today. Learn some history.

    I agree about Obama tactics, which differ greatly from FDR's (again, learn history). FDR created work. A lot of it. Obama is giving handouts. To businesses, families, and lazy Americans. In FDR's America, there were no handouts, just hand ups (I feel like my 16 year old students got this better than you).

  • @FJBuchholz4 I don't believe the constitution meant for a president to create OR stifle work unless it was about enforcing laws written by congress... lavixl is correct btw. The Fed, created the depression. FDR wanted a whole second 'bill of rights' confusing the idea of rights up entirely. We had to make and amendment for term limits because of FDR. Haven't you learned this? And shadowgunner82 is also correct.. the Fed expanded money supply for the war and after the depression ended.

  • @Clyaton

    How did this video have anything to do with the limiting of terms? Of course I know that, but it has no relevancy to the Great Depression. Also, I'm pretty sure I stated that the credit system created the foundation for the depression. Is anybody even watching this, or are we just watching the title screen and then jumping into irrelevant topics such as "we needed an amendment to limit terms"? Great point if I was addressing limitations on political power in American history. O.o

  • @FJBuchholz4 Yea, but the credit system didn't create the foundation for the Great Depression, it's just what set it off. MY POINT WAS - at the end you implied FDR as being the savior, when in reality he helped to prolong it.

  • @FJBuchholz4

    I think that this video is great for a review before a test, but it doesn't go into enough depth to be considered for a lesson.

  • FDR and his policies only made it worse and longer just like Obama is doing now..
