Capitalism has cycles due to fractional reserve banking, which is permitting banks to loan out more money than they have on deposit, effectively creating money out of thin air, which is inflation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
all this is just hot air because the banks have the ability to increase or decrease the money supply as they see fit. thus, they can create booms, busts, deflation or inflation any time they like. the banks use this ability to benefit themselves not the economy. if this doesn't change, economic theory is irrelevant.
at 21 mins in I just disagree. I am a passive income real estate investor and the deductions are what makes investing in real estate worth it. I like the way the system is set up... if you are financially educated you can easily succeed. Those that put no effort into investing and business get none of the unfair advantage that is available, its that simple. Perhaps not morally correct but that is another story for another day.
@Trox118 it is great for those investors but sucks for everyone else. You can be rich thru the loopholes no question about it but the whole economy will crash. The society will come to a point u drive ferarri but it is better a bullet-proof ferarri and u better hire bodyguard to follow your children when he goes to school.
And the another story for another day is no longer coming. It is here.
@richardminhle Perhaps you may come to realize that the only difference between the rich and the poor in this country is one of them buys assets that produce income and the other buys depreciating liabilities on credit like LCD tv's and xbox or cars. The tax code is written for business and investing... it is not my fault or any other businessman's that the american people choose to piss their paychecks away instead of compounding interest and purchasing income producing assets.
@flanker4psychos the only thing cyclic about the markplace are all the different mal-investments the federal reserve creates when it sets interest rates too low
@flanker4psychos They are speculating with it on all kinds of stuff. It's risk free. If their speculation is successful they keep the money. If they fail, they will get a bailout.
Dude, you mean well but you only have part of the picture. If you want to really understand what's wrong with the economy, read "Death by Technology". This guy is brilliant.
Steve sounds compelling, but this collapse is different this time.
He does talk a lot of sense, much of this should have been obvious to government before 2008, always less due dlligence when playing with other people's money.
I wouldn't like the job of editing this down to a useable clip for a film.
I'm still amazed how many people want to keep their head in the sand and ignore reality and logic. Im not sure people are mentally prepared for what is coming, even physically prepared ie food water gold silver energy protection etc
Shouldn't the graphic in the beginning showing the decline of the dollar be the other way? Instead of starting out with a full dollar and being overtaken by a bunch of gold as the dollar declines, it should be a full gold picture that gradually gets overwritten by the dollar.
One of the major flaws in 'Meltdown' (but explained at length in 'Rollback') was that it did not discuss Glass Steagall. Please include it in this documentary.
@truevoice08 No glass allowed them to buy from themselves and call it a profit while still being backed by the FDIC which means government backed embezzelment. Also government backs housing securities which means any double dealing there was also shouldered by tax payers
@ricochetVendetta But ain't that fraud. I don't think that's related to Glass Steagall though. I don't recall Tom Woods mentioning that in his CPAC lecture.
The final screen @1:10:24, someone forgot the "e" and wrote “Th Panic of 2008”.....simple mistake that should have been caught. Great interview though.
Respect for this guy.
