Gotta love how after all these years we have essentially come full circle. Pick up a leader from the age of command economies and they would probably be pretty comfortable in a modern megacorp. They are essentially a new kind of state that has outsourced the burden of taking care of its own people and infrastructure to traditional states.
Yesss this is a very smart and visionary comment. Smaller kingdoms willingly submitted to these empires that stablished these generally higher standards throghout their whole territory. It was the most cost effective thing to do. These tech companies essentialy run like empires and we are in a spot where they cannot be challenged anymore.

I’m a programmer and I’m about 3 years out of university. I just got offered a 6 month contract for $128k. There’s a LOT of money in tech if you’re skilled.
At the micro level yes, at the macro level, no, not really. There is good money to be made by individuals, but not by any significant percentage of the population. Meaning it is a lot from the perspective of the few people hired for such work, but the total slice is pretty small and is chump change as far as the economy is concerned. There also just is not enough of the work to scale, so even if you flooded the market with lots of well trained people, the high paying jobs would get used up pretty quickly. I've worked places where people of nearly identical skill can make 6 digits or 30k/year, depending on if they got slotted into that single six digit job or not.
Yeah, the slice of the pie that gets injected in the market through salaries of these high paying jobs is still way smaller than in the past. The general effect of this new economy is still way worse than in the past
kenim I don’t disagree in terms of the overall picture. But for any normal person, especially for a 24 year old, six figures is a big number. The fact that the possibility is there for someone my position should say something about the industry.
@@neeneko tech is s market with high growth, is said that the market will need more than 1.5 in the next decade, but there will be only 500.000 people that would have the qualifications for it if the current growth of graduates continue, in my country is almost 400.000 and will be only 60.000 something that tech has is scalability that previous markets lacked because they were limited by the resources available
neeneko I agree. There are plenty of people at my skill level or better that could do the job. There are circumstances that have lead to me being in high demand and companies are making their best offer to snag me. Seems like it’s all about perception rather than actual skill level.
11:55 - You're not selling us videos for money.
We are giving you attention, and *then* you sell that attention to advertisers.
Exacty
It's kinda funny really. We get a free video because EE gets money from TH-cam that gets money from advertisers in the hopes that maybe just maybe that ad they put out will convince us to actually buy or do something. That's how valuable persuasion, the mere influence of our psyche is in the tech age.
facts.
@@upsidedownbagofflour697 To be precise. The point of ads isn't to convince you to buy anything...their point is to bury the brand (themselves) in your subconsciousness so the next time you go shopping your brain will alert you "hey, i KNOW this stuff, I've seen this before". This memory-triggering built-in feature in the human brain is what all ad companies are after.
Big thumbs up for expressing this properly. Usually I see it written as "selling your data to advertisers" even in relation to companies like Google that don't sell your data - and the writer usually knows it but just want a headline/quote that will appeal to the crowd.

I'm also an economist and I admire ur work. With that being said, the part of this video related to valuing a company is highly innacurate. It's not about intrinsic value, but revenue, ebitda, efficiency and good old perspective. Kodak is an example of how a company's name doesnt mean anything, because a name is based on what u did. Company value is about what u do today, what u plan to do in the future and how well prepared u are to make it become a reality
This. Stocks are basically money from the future, and are valued as such.
Book value does matter to some extent, and companies with a low P/B ratio and lots of assets tend to outperform when inflation is high since their assets are an inflation hedge, but it doesn't matter too much right now with negative interest rates and low inflation.
Not to mention they apparently think tech companies don't have any ongoing costs lol. Guess they don't know what a server is, or that many tech companies never turn a profit.

Thank you so much Anonymous Australian Economist! I did have a few Economy classes in school but they are over now. Your channel is a great way to continue to learn. Keep up the good work (and do more videos weekly if you can)!
also please give us a video on the economy of Yugoslavia
@SpinazFou he made one on the soviet union, which was also dissolved.
Yes, the differences between it and the various stages of the Soviet Union would be interesting.
Yeah, I have personal experience with the bizarreness of company valuations.
My mother tried (unsuccessfully) to do IT contract work independently...
To do this she registered a company and made a basic website explaining what she does.
So, this company had a name, and a website...
And that's it.
She had no assets. Worked from home. Was the sole employee, was living off borrowed money, and basically only had a computer, which wasn't even technically a business asset.
So, by chance we find a website that does market valuations for any registered company...
And they listed this 'nothing' company at a value of 1 million Euro...
Yeah. Not remotely joking.
If you count assets and liabilities against company value you could argue the book value of the company was less than zero...
So the valuation was millions of times higher than the assets of the company...
The reason that her company has any worth despite zero assets is... your mother. She is the most valuable asset that will be creating the value. Besides, a company evaluation from some website is likely to be skewed, even if you entered all the relevant data. Company valuation is mostly determined by future profit potential.
Technically speaking the Dutch East India company was the first trillion dollar company (takeing inflation in account).But anyways very informative video

Hello! new sub here,
Happy to see you are doing a video on the VoC(Dutch east India Company), one thing I have not seen anyone do in a video about VoC is compare it to the EICo. (East India Company) it can be confusing for some because the Brits didn't put the countries name on theirs, still I feel its existence is often overlooked in this conversation.
The EICo was founded first, lasted fifty years longer, took over another county, bested VoC in navel combat, didn't receive initial investment from their home country, didn't go bankrupt (disbanded for 100 years of bad behavior in India) and were still worth nearly 5 trillion(usd). It doesn't sound as impressive as VoC's 8-9 trillion(usd) but the EICo eventually beat them in market maneuverability. Hope you consider adding it if its not in there already, looking forward to the video regardless.
Keep up the good work!
bye
I especially loved two thirds in when you explained TH-cam channel "selling" views.
Part of a company's value in market cap also comes from its future cash flows, discounted at some interest rate. It isn't all just brain real estate, but that is an interesting concept.
Great video! Suggestion: what about examining a historical economy like ancient Rome or China?
As a Dutchman i must say that 16:57 min made very excited. Can't wait till the video comes out!
Just discovered this channel and cannot get enough! Perhaps I should have studied Economics after all...
Awesome content as usual. Thanks.
I think it would be cool if you did a video about the exact opposite of this.. what's left if all of those shares lost their value over night. What would be left that had worth? Gold? Commodities? Would people still work? Maybe exploring the "dark" economy. I know in some countries that is even larger than the public economy.
I thought Apple was valued at 1 trillion before amazon
John kesh it was.
except that Amazon actually has a fair priced service. it's like Bernie Sanders is Amazon while Apple, with it's overpriced "innovations," is Mike Bloomberg buying his way to the top
Joseph Leonard not sure what you mean by “overpriced innovation”, but I respectively disagree. Apple has consistently made increasingly absurd amounts of profit year over year for at least the past two decades. Apple’s family of products and services makes it arguably the most valuable brand in existence. Sure, iPhones still account for half their revenue, but they’ve also made considerable leaps in their services business, which made them $12.5 billion last quarter and accounted for nearly 20% of their overall revenue and continues to grow. And that’s not even counting their other hardware products like the iPad and MacBook as well as their wearables and accessories. If Apple stopped selling iPhones tomorrow, they’d still be in the top 10 most valuable companies by a comfortable margin. Besides maybe Microsoft, I’ve yet to see any other company that remains this profitable for this long in the way that Apple has. Like em or hate em, Apple’s reputation and valuation are completely justified.

For those of you who answer Dutch East India Company, can you tell me what date and what the stock was trading at when it went over 1 trillion?
Fala Ai it didn’t, but inflation wise it went over 7 trillion during the tulip crisis
@@willinton06 ----- I'm not doubting it being worth more than a trillion, it just wasn't publicly traded and one must make some weird assumptions about currency differences over 4 century period which we really don't have accurate data for. There are also several current private entities worth more than a trillion when Apple went over the mark. But since they are private we really don't know their value. In Apple's case we know the exact minute it went over 1 trillion.
Fala Ai they were public, in fact for a moment they were the only public company, like they were the only company in the stock market.

There may be examples (for instance, at the beginning of this sentence) where the long form doesn't apply, but in that case "there" is a homonym for the short form of "that is where". Same word, multiple meanings

Hi - I'm an investment banker and I focus on valuation for a living. The way you talk about valuing a company is not how we on Wall Street think about it. We think of the value of a company as the sum of the expected value of future cash flows discounted back to the present. So basically - how much am I going to get paid for owning this company and how long am I going to have to wait until I get those payments. You absolutely CANNOT value a company as book value + brand value.

The brand, and name are all in bookvalue as "goodwill" and intellectual property is in bookvalue as it's own line-item. The difference between book value and market cap comes from future cash flows discounted, that people are willing to pay for. A company is worth what a person is willing to pay for it.

*Comment down below what Economic Theory/ Model u believe in and why u do so:*
I'm just intrigued in general and want to know about different perspectives.
Capitalism and free trade but I also believe that profits from that must be used for social programs (other than typical government programs and duties).
Social market economy. Vital infrastructure, healthcare and education in the hands of the people, likely through the work of an elected government, and the product and service side of the economy should be handled privatly with a fair bit of regulation. This way, we should have the good of capitalism, without leaving too many people in the dust.
@@tobiasjenchen4647 that's the best one i hv heard so far.
16:10 This is why we are going to need a Universal Basic Income very soon. Most jobs will employ high-skilled individuals, whereas the repetitive and monotonous jobs are going to automated away - this is inevitably going to lead to mass unemployment as these simple jobs are dominating the job market today.
A UBI will let people contribute to society in a meaningful way. It could be anything, ranging from new startups, art, caring, volunteering, to research, etc etc.
A UBI is also a good solution for the time being. People that don't have a job gets a basic income, whereas people who do work, engineers, doctors etc, gets UBI + their well-deserved salary.
It's a win-win system.
True, plus all the extra money flowing into the Economy
Yay, Dutch East India company. Was hoping you guys would do that.
A lot of tech companies are having to allocate additional funds to areas like I.T, security teams, legal representation, R & D, various insurances, etc.... add that to what it generally cost to run a business (e.g. salaries, taxes, etc)
The next wave of big businesses will be the one’s that incorporate healthcare & technology simultaneously.
These companies will continue to get exponentially bigger, forever - unless there is a limit to Moore's law.
If there is a limit, there is a giant tech bubble lol.

Google's primary revenue stream, I should say, is by advertising, and by offering their products for free they are able to show more ads. But it's true that Amazon and Microsoft also have large investments in the enterprise area, Amazon with AWS web hosting and Microsoft with Office and their new hosting platforms too.
I would have expected the first explanation to be in terms of discounted future expected cash flow… because that’s what all these various values boil down to.

I have a question. In the event of a mass sell off of company shares, obviously according to supply and demand, the price of those shares would drop significantly lowering the companies market capitalization and vice versa this can also inflate the value of the company. So how is market cap used as legit way to value a company?
