  • The fact that this is happening in both the UK and the US is evidence that the issue of "Why are we all going bust?" is far more broad than both your explanation and your solution. Don't get me wrong. I don't have a broad enough explanation or solution either. However I do have a hint. Why are we all going bust?... Derivatives...

  • That was very interesting and informative (:(:

    thankyouu

  • im confused

  • well that was a replay on t31os for whoever would be interested.

  • Lots of bank and monetary related videos and information around the web already....

    Our very way of life perpetuates debt as long as we use banks, which are near impossible to be without these days....

    Do you ever wonder why?

  • Look at you, arguing and insulting over the internet from behind a fake name. Aren't you the absolute best example of humanity? Being helpful, explaining things to people who might not know, and speaking properly is something people should appreciate.

    Unlike your curse-infested random spew of meaningless, impolite and misspelt word-vomit.

    Why don't you learn from the basic three-year-old principal of "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything" and go play back to school.

  • SHUT UP POO HEAD HAHA RAZ FTW

  • so its been like a month, why havent you shaved your hair off yet?

  • Surely the banks foresaw this, why did they not just put the 'loan of freeze' and then rent the property to the tennant at a lower rate so people have less, but more disposable income therefore not too great of a recession until the economy goes into a mid recovery stage: the banks still got a portion of their money so it is not too great of a loss and people would not have to 'tighten belts' which causes a recession. Or alternatively, self-sufficiency! lol

  • wow that makes sense..

  • woooooow 4001 Viewer British & Proud!

  • thanks brainboxx lol

  • I'd recommend looking into the monetary system more, you have some good information but it is lacking and i don't feel you have a proper understanding of the banking/monetary system.

    I'm no expert but you've missed some important factors, such as how banks create money out of thin air when they give you a loan.

    And how they can lend 9 times what they have in actual capital. eg. for each £1 they have, they can lend £10, and so on...

  • well, maybe an idea to explain what your saying here in a video response. It sounds interesting and useful to watch.

  • Note:

    Recession rhymes with depression

    How fitting....

  • Question!!!!! Who here on YouTube whom happens to be a Non-American is pissed at the United States for causing the global recession?

  • thx for the vid.

    u r so cute :P

  • that was really informative and well put. thanks brainboxx

  • jazza i can't even tell you how much i love u for explaining this whole thing!!! i had to learn it for homework and didn't understand anything at wikipedia...

    another BIG thank you for being serious and good in explaining things! <3

  • ur a good egg jazza

  • Elleniris is a fucking idiot!I part my hair down the middle all the time and i get all the f###ing chicks!

  • It's really sad that all this trouble was caused by people who were greedy.

  • very informative Jazza...didn't get the supply & demand house pricey thing before. So when's the perfect time to buy a house? Just after the demand has trailed off?

  • And you are right.

  • Thank you for taking the time to learn about and explain this topic, Jazza. All too often I find that people my age just don't know what is going on in the world or how they can relate to it. It's awfully nice to find someone who does.

  • nice job, clear and comprehensive explanation. i respect what your doing jazza

  • speak for yourself dipshit

  • <3858393739

  • I saw this on the news the other day, when Gordon Brown was announcing the £37billion thing. I happened to be in the bank at the time (which i found amusing), but i wasn't utterly sure what was going on. That helped a lot =P

  • It did help. Thanks. ^^

  • Gofsh awfuly awful situation there. The rub is mate your daddy could be out of a job thanks to Mr.Fat Banker, so he can't bail you out of your student loan.

  • and I care what you think because...?

    no need to be rude

  • Very clearly explained, mate.

  • Your intelligence is beautiful. Thank you for talking about serious subjects. <3 seriously...

  • wow. this was amazing. and educational. love you jazza. ^_^

  • The true problem lies in the fact that banks and other financial institutions re-sold the mortgages as securities (mortgage backed commercial paper) over and over amongst themselves, generating billions of "profits" for the crooks in the financial sector. They actually lobbied for, and achieved, deregulation of these shady activities. It's like salesmen that don't really care if you can pay for the car down the road, they just want to make their commission. In the end, it all came crashing down.

  • I love your brain, Jazza... I mean BrainBoxx. ;D

    I think it's brilliant that you do things like this. Can't wait to see more from you guys.

  • America will never support the state owning a share of banks, or any other national service, not until they get over their irrational fear of socialism, and any policy which can be associated with it.

  • So very true. It's sad, really. :(

  • Holy shit mate. FINALLY someone actually puts everything together in a coherent manner.

    Thank you for this. I FINALLY get what's going on properly now, rather than just thinking "The banks are loosing money which is killing the stock market which is killing the economy... Why?"

    Again. Thanks for the simple explanation.

  • i find it interesting that a person from the UK probably knows more about the American economy crash than a lot of my friends. i suppose it might be because our economies are closely tied, but it seems that the British know more about the american government and current events than vice versa.

  • I don't think there is a connection between being British or American and knowing the state of America's economy or Britain's economy. It is about taking an active interest in economic matters, and more importantly a general interest in where you live and the world around you. I am sure there are plenty of Americans who know all about Americas current economic situation (at least I hope) and equally there are plenty of Britain's who no nothing on the matter.

  • very helpful. this puts together the pits and pieces of the stories that ive heard. keep it up 5+

  • I think we should let the big banks die out. It's their fault they went under, I say give the little guys a shot.

    Man, I'm having A LOT of fun with this new audio preview thing.

    Does anyone know any way I could download and just use it whenever?

  • GREED is what caused this crash. Irresponsible financial management should result in Jail time not golden handshakes. I believe the UK has the right approach

  • we will see

    thanks for your input

    :)

  • Thank you so much!!

    It did help, a very good bit.

  • I

    <3

    Jazza

    period.

  • i now understand whats going on in the world!

    this has been the best explanation yet

  • So true, keep em coming!

  • what about canada? canada has strong ties to the u.s. economy.

  • Im sorry but im not sure.

    I would assume they are trying to sort out a similar rescue plan to europe and the us. And the UK has had the same problem as we are also very closely tied to what happens in america. more so than other european countries.

  • yeah, it's true. thanks for the response :)

  • Wow, this makes the US look really stupid. I think I want to move to England.

  • not stupid, they have just got s different set of principles and goals to achieve

  • You and me both man. :)

  • this has made everything a lot clearer! Thanks Jazza x

  • I'm afraid all of this has already happened in my country (irland). We are in a resession, further general price increases has occured and unemployment has risen. This year alone has been the highest count for social welfare applicants since the 1980's in ireland and it doesn't seem to be getting any better! As on from January 2009, there will be a 10% cut in the Irish Nations salories, not including a lot of politions, with the exception of the irish presedent!...

  • ...and if thats not bad enough, the government has also announced the removal of the medical card, for old age pensioners.

  • christ, that sucks.

    I didn't now ireland was being hit so hard. We are seeing ridiculously high unemployment rates as well that we havn't seen for decades. This whole situation basically sucks

  • Unfortunatly thats wat it has come to. We're living in hard times, I just hope it doesn't last too long.

  • Well done :) That was a great summary.

    It doesn't help the global financial crsis that traders have a system of selling on before they have bought the product. Because then when they can't afford it they get in trouble and start losing money.

    Interested to hear your thoughts on that?

  • That $70 Bil. "injection" was two-fold dumb, because the federal reserve is already printing LOTS of money every day, to print out 70 bil dollars on top of the other money that they print out daily, really helps to inflate the dollar.

    I tried to look up exactly how much money is printed each day, but you can't find it any more because about a decade ago they stopped counting how much they printed because the figures were SO HIGH that they got scared, and stopped counting how much they printed!!

  • cause.bankers making bad bets and greed.world problem which ever goverment in power there would no differnce.

  • thanks!! that was really relpful, i really didnt understand before!!

  • Explained well and easy to understand, a lot clearer for me now, well done Jazza

  • It reli helps ppl to understand all this. wen i first read abt it it befuddled me. Its amazing how stupid the world's leaders really are... and the banks, the idea is that when house prices start falling, STOP BUYING HOUSES! Sometimes I think that when we had a monarchy it was much better: there would be no buying out because the Queen has that much common sense. Ugh! I would move to China ... !

  • this is really insightfull

    i think that, although the government are paying for the banks mistakes, it'll help us in the long run

    i dont think a americans got the right idea though

    injecting money into there banks may not be the smartest of moves...

    jazza, you really are a brain box

  • you explained things really well here jazza!

    it's without question the best video i've seen on explaining the current financial crisis.

    kudos to you, my friend :)

  • ouch, makes my head hurt

  • Thanks for explaining, Jazza!

  • No offence to Hank but i understood this a lot better then his explanation. Nice one Jazza and i really like the idea of this channel its like a UK news channel type thing but from average joes perspective.

  • this helped a hell of a lot! There's so many people who have tried to explain this to me but I still didn't understood everything. But know, after seing your video, it's all very clear. Great job Jazza :D

    5 stars!

  • yay! i kinda understood before but now i feel like an expert! yay im off to explain it to my parents!

  • That was a really well put togethere video Jazza keep up the good work. Oh and by the way EVERYONE! should what the film Money as Debt. its very informative.

  • Thank you!! I live in America...and Ithink that the 700 billion dollar bail out that i'm going to have to pay back is an easy out...and it hasn't helped anything. So now I can't get a loan to get a car. I have to walk to work and have to inconvinience others just because I can't get a car, because American politicians and banks are dicks.

  • This is great! I ruddy love YouTube sometimes. x

  • Very well presented, Jazza. You made the complex understandable. Looks like a good teacher in the making.

  • aww

    thanks jeff

    means alot

  • Your analysis is incomplete. There is also the effect of dollar devaluation creating a fictive real estate appreciation. . .

  • I couldn't go into too much detail, mainly because I wanted to keep this easy to understand and reasonably short.

  • I like your comment on how naturally the large banks who were doing all the bad dealing wuld go out of business & the smaller banks who were giving out smart loans will grow and take over the banking. Unfortunately my government (the US government) either 1. doesn't understand that natural process that happens and think they need to stimulate the economy by investing in the huge corporations (the 700 billion) or 2. They are scratching large corporations backs to in turn get support in campaigns.

  • to be fair it isn't just the us government, the vast majority of governments around the world have some kind of a 'rescue' plan.

  • Wow, Jazza you have explained it to me a way nobody else could, now I understand the situation so clearly. Thanks!

    I see this government control as a positive move NOW, but when the situation increases, won't it be some kind of monopoly (although there are other banks left) but the government/state having so much control won't it be manipulating an important part of the economy? or am I just talking stones?

  • *increases = gets better

    sorry for the horrible english I speak/write

  • good points, I think you're right.

  • LOve u jazza x

  • Good video.

    Watch the film 'Zeitgeist : Addendum' - It is very revealing.

    Shiows what a shitty , unfair biased system the monetary system is.

  • Very well explained, Jazza ^_^

    Managed to keep me interested, and that's no mean feat on subjects of economy and such.

  • oooh this is very informative and understandable! i like it :) glad i watched

  • & you still have your hair...

  • wow I really love how you speak in terms that young peopl understand therefor making your mssgs more entertaining to watch,more young peopl should be interested in the things going on around them.A cute guy who"s intelligent and has something to say=amazing!!

  • haha thanks

    and I only explain it so I can understand it myself

    :)

  • lol I can talk myself in circles and change my mind a million times,lol You should do a vid giving tips on going to school overseas for someone like myself it would help.I"m not sure if you"ve even gone to school in the us but I want to study in Europe(Spain) education is so valubale and having the most personally challeging experince is life changing

  • thank you jazza

    i finally understand :P

  • It has helped a lot thankyou!!!!! one thing i would like to now is what happened to northenrock????

    would really like an answer please but is ok if you don't now :)

    Abl

  • Jazza

    IM PREGNANT!!

    Aaah! This explained it so much better than my economics teacher...

    =D

  • now you know very well that isn't possible

    you don't have a womb

  • Yes, this did help a lot. I understand even better than I did after Hank made a video about it on the vlogbrothers channel.

    I think its amazing that the internet is offering this kind of information where the traditional media is absolutely failing to do so. Even though I understand both you and Hank aren't exactly sources of information that have proven to be an authority on anything and shouldn't be blindly trusted, every little info helps and I can find more sources should I want to.

  • O, and I take it you understand I don't regard you personally as not to be trusted :)

  • understood, and thanks

    ;)

  • Also, I was thinking, you explain that the market of houses goes in this cycle of higher and lower values due to demand/supply etc. But wouldn't you also say that this cycle is disturbed when much more people than usual are forced to sell their homes because the bank demands they pay back the loan, thus creating an unnatural supply?

    Isn't that the reason that house values are so much lower than anyone expected maybe?

  • That is a very good point that I didn't think of. I think that could probably be true.

    :)

  • Nice explanation Jazza :D

  • Jazza, you're amazing. What would I do without you? My econ teacher spent about an hour trying to explain the financial situation to our class, and I left the lecture feeling more confused than when I came...you managed to make the whole thing much more understandable in 5 min.

  • Glad to help

    ;)

  • cheers for this Jazza!

  • yay a video

    there hasn't been one on this channel for a while

    Good video

  • we are hopefully gonna start posting more regularly again. So look out for more

    :)
