I loled when he pronounced the h in honored. The one silent h that you would otherwise expect a frenchman to have no problem (not) pronouncing.

[dd00hli]

Wonderful. Thank you.

[Odysseus Philognostikos Orobar]

His pronunciation of that H is an example of the linguistic phenomenon known as 'hypercorrection.' I mention this because, at the moment, I feel like letting everyone here know that I am a huge linguistics nerd.

If only it was just the loans or education. It is no longer just single sectors that are threatened. Previously they were "bailed out" or "revitalized" (whatever you call rescuing your crony friends) through banks. But banks were already on the line now, and next step is countries. Sovereign debts are piled sky-high in USA and Europe how are they supposed to make it? Entire machine is now under danger of collapse.

I was also waiting in vain for it for last 15 minutes of the video.

[Jorge A. Medina]

Perhaps rising rates of gun ownership played a role? If the risk associated with an action increases, all else remaining equal, incidences of that action will decrease. Google "gun ownership and crime rates."

The Lecture starts at 42:45 just in case you want to get to the heart of the matter. Your welcome.

What about juvenile political delinquency?

[Pericles461]

Someone should probably figure out a praxeological explanation for why crime decreased during the nineties. Aside from that, this is a good talk.

[Tas von Gleichen]

Delinquency is what we will see in student loans. The next great bubble is on it's way to burst.

[Piotrek Pieniążek]

1. Young age od criminals can be attributed to the incapacitation instead of detterence effect. 2. Sudden decline in crime in 90's can be a function of legalized abortion in the late 70's.

[dikk3tinus]

Very interesting. Thank you!
