    During the 1600’s, the exotic tulip became a nationwide sensation; some single bulbs even sold for ten times the yearly salary of a skilled craftsman. Suddenly, though, the demand completely plummeted, leaving the tulip market in a depression. What happened? Prateek Singh explains the peak of a business cycle, commonly referred to as a mania.
    Lesson by Prateek Singh, animation by Simon Ampel.

      Basically, the economy cycle has a scam to it.
      When FDR tried to get the not-for-profit banking system started for the first, he probably did sound like a welfare queen
      The first day Social Security started. At the start of this economic cycle, the old retired people started withdrawing from the retirement plan, even though they never paid into the program one penny. This was a mathematical necessary coincidence. It's not meant to be free welfare. Just keeping the economy rolling steadily.
      Basically, the stockmarcket is the same as Social Security.
      Basically, the first investors saved nothing and received a five-star retirement. Basically, the first investors did receive a very high interest rate.
      The first people withdrawing from Social Security never really ever contributed. This necessary free retirement plan to those first retirees was necessary. Who never paid for it in the first time around. It was just a side effort on a new not-for-profit banking system getting up and running. This was not defict spending to get the program started.
      I hope there were no hard feelings for those first-time retirees receiving benefits from Social Security they themselves never paid for. AKA Passive income. This is why the not-for-profit banking system has a limit on it. For example, it must be 65 years old to withdraw. Take your turn, or take a number and wait your turn.
      I could imagine there were salty people about the Social Security program when it first started. To see the new retirees receiving benefits they never paid for. The beginning of this not-for-profit cycle.
      Where the younger you are, the more years of actually contributing they would do for the same retirement. These people would be at the end of the cycle. Basically, there are zero percent interest rates at the end of the cycle, while their grandparents received "profits." From the beginning of the cycle.
      Everyone didn't really pay their fair share. Deductions out everyone's earned, active income were longer than others. Depending on if they were at the beginning of the cycle or at the end.
      First, in on an investment or last in on an investment.
      Basically, the original order people made out pretty good, AKA the rich. Got in on Social Security but never spent years paying in on. But the very younger generation had a full price tag and zero interest rates. And their whole life paying Social Security payments.
      I'm sure the stockmarcket is treaded the same way as Social Security. Both not-for-profit banking.
      "Each generation pays for the generation before it." Is NOT the correct way to look at it.

      There is a huge difference between the stockmarcket going up in mass, vs. The stockmarcket is going up with interest rates. These are NOT the same excomponent. GDP does include unearned income.
      I hope you can see that I just stated an impossible math formula.
      Because the people who know math. We are watching the stockmarcket going up during the pandemic, while the government is deficit spending. We know its going up in mass. Not dividends being paid.
      They shouldn't gaslight us. We all saw the stockmarcket went up during a pandemic.
      Let me explain the math of "the rich."
      Let me explain why our economy has cycles. These cycles do not last long enough for me to make a 30-year mortgage payment.
      Basically, the stockmarcket is the same as Social Security. The same math.
      Yes. Take Social Security. "Each generation pays for the generation before it." Is NOT the correct way to look at it.
      Technically, by indirect force. Not direct.
      Mathematically, the incoming money at the bank must match the outgoing. True. But by just a necessary coincidence.
      The first day Social Security started. At the start of this economic cycle, the old retired people started withdrawing from the retirement plan, even though they never paid into the program one penny. This was a mathematical necessary coincidence. It's not meant to be free welfare. Just keeping the economy rolling steadily.
      The start of these cycles, houses are dirt cheap too.

    You seem to have totally missed out on, or at least not mentioned well enough, one of the major things that fuels these bubbles: investment. People weren’t just buying tulips or whatever because they were desired; they wanted tulips *because* of their rapidly rising prices, since they could make massive profits upon selling them. That was what was fueling the feedback loop you mentioned: people bought more because they hoped to profit off the price rising, and the price rose because people were buying more. Maybe you did mention it, but you worded it extremely poorly if you did. Especially at 2:36; that explanation did not make a lick of sense.

      People took out loans they couldnt pay back and that caused a bubble which burst and caused the recession (and that caused more people not to be able to pay back their loans which worsened the recession) Thats how bubbles usually work.
      But the first cause is people being able to take out loans they couldnt afford in the first place. And government made sure that this was possible.

    It pretty simple to explain why the housing bubble happened. A lot of parents gave there children the advise to buy a house as soon as possible, because then the would have to pay rent. Which isn't a bad advise, but because young people generally make bad decisions, they bought houses they couldn't afford. We have to same problem now with higher education. Most parents tell there kids to go to college, which isn't a bad idea. But again young people make bad decisions, like going to colleges they can't afford or major in stuff like women study's, where the only jobs are becoming a professor and reteaching.

      TexasRedneck Sure that was also the case. It was just a lot of people making bad decisions. I don't know all the reasons why people made this decisions, but i know its pretty much common advise that you should buy a house to safe on rent and the faster the better.

    • @rogerwilco2
      @rogerwilco2 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      NinjaEule The bubble burst when the young were unable to buy houses any more.
      I don't know the numbers from other countries, but in the Netherlands you can clearly see the price of a house first moving from the single earner to the double income model during the eighties and then the bubble starts when prices outstrip income growth using mortgage schemes based on "investment" in the stock market, the house itself and other such folly. House prices outstripped people's ability to pay them based on their own income becoming pure speculation. The problem was a lack of historical perspective and ability to analyse the market. Just like with the "internet bubble", people perceived the fast growing house prices from the previous decade as the new norm, while they were only the effect of more and more women entering the work force.
      I know a mortgage broker that left a big bank and started his own shop in the mid-nineties as he understood what was happening and didn't want to be a part of it. so it wasn't like nobody knew or understood what was going on.

      RogerWilco You are right, when you say that it wasn't like nobody knew what was going one. But sadly most people didn't listen to the people with good advise, because they thought they would miss out on something. Its the same with the higher education bubble, people still major in liberal arts because they don't see that its a bad investment. They just think that if they don't go to college or major in a STEM field, that they would miss out on the college experience.

    Centralized banking usually causes these bubbles. Under Alan Greenspan, there were two bubbles (Tech and Housing).

    • @erikburzinski8248
      @erikburzinski8248 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I am of the opinion that a centtalized bank makes it more likely to have a signifcant bubble but they are not the cause of the bubble.
      Allow me to explain what I mean normally a market bubble whould be quite small but if the central bank misinterpretes it as real market growth they may tell investors to invest in that which in turn makes the bubble bigger and then the bubble becomes big enough to afect the economy as a whole rather than the issolated part it whould have affected otherwise.

    How do you decide the 'intrinsic value' especially of a non-financial asset? If it took long time to grow tulips, surely their intrinsic value must've been high if cost of production is any indicator of intrinsic value.(opportunity cost of time of growing tulip is high)

    • @SangoProductions213
      @SangoProductions213 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Zoink foo More like over-speculative markets with people not looking at the intrinsic value of the item in question. Or rather, people just not continuing to pay more and more, as there's no such thing as intrinsic value, simply what we are willing to spend.
      And when one person stops buying, people stop thinking that the price will keep going up, and so their speculated value drops.

    • @Bobby.Kristensen
      @Bobby.Kristensen 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      ***** It's actually one of the best things with humanity. Greed for love, money, life... but the bad thing is that it is extremely difficult to determine VALUE. Both for your self and for others and the FUTURE VALUE is even more difficult. Being greedy is good, because that means you want to maximize profits, which is good, because without profits we wouldn't have anything left to spend after our hard work. Many greedy fools think that just because something is rising in price equals rising in value, which is false. Actual value is determined by the profits and growth of something. Without considering fundamentals of an assets it's easy buy something that is overvalued. It feels great on the hype, but when the hype is over and there is too few buyers and too many sellers, the price comes down to reality, often to undervalued - this is when you buy.

    I've heard this explanation a million times, I could easily recite it myself, but I still feel like I don't understand. I feel like this type of explanation is just the gist of what's going on. What causes that collective realization that the item is worth less? How does that physically manifest? What substantive occurrence is the stock market reacting to? Lesser sales figures? People selling off stocks? Is the latter a cause of the stock market reacting, or is it a symptom of the stock market reacting?

    • @atrius4665
