  • In which John Green teaches you about the Great Depression. So, everybody knows that the Great Depression started with the stock market crash in 1929, right? Not exactly. The Depression happened after the stock market crash, but wasn't caused by the crash. John will teach you about how the depression started, what Herbert Hoover tried to do to fix it, and why those efforts failed.

    Thank you for the new information sir. I am a 65+ year old born at the end of the baby boomer era. My father was a decorated WW2 vet, but a lifelong victim of the Great Depression. He watched his successful Father and Mother lose everything … including their confidence in "the American Dream". My dad went to his grave forever fearful, dreadfully fearful, that another great depression would happen in his lifetime … and sadly, it reflected in how he related with Mom and how they raised us four in the 60s and 70s. He lived in constant fear.

    My grandma and grandpa both were born in 1929 before the stock market crash and lived through the Depression. One day, I was eating an oatmeal cookie and I did not like it after one bite. I tossed the cookie in the trash can and my grandma walked over and reached into the trash can, picked it up, examined it, then ate it. I told her that we had plenty and she didn't have to eat from the trash. Her reply was surprising to me, "You don't waste food. You never grew up during the Depression." It was shocking to hear that as a kid. Especially a history nerd. I never truly understood what it was like for people during the Great Depression until that day when she told me about that. Years later, my father told me that his father, my grandpa, would have one pack of gum of year because he used to save chewed up gum for weeks because it was all he could get during the Depression. And my dad also told me that when he was a kid, his parents would tell him about how they only had one pair of shoes a year. And this lasted from the Depression until the end of WWII. My grandparents were very simple people. Very grateful for having what they had. I believe a lot of that stemmed from being children during the Depression.

      So many problems with this video. like say...
      maybe instead of central banks and inflation, we should've been more
      concerned about ALL banks who loan out money that does not belong to
      them and/or is not backed up with anything? we could prevent a credit
      bubble from forming and bursting in the 1st place!

      Unfortunately false. Hoover pretty much supervised the recovery of Europe after WW1. He knew economics. The problem is the Democratic party that refused to enact any of his proposals until they got their own president, who then carried out Herbert Hoover's programs and took all the credit. Recovery would have come much sooner if they had cooperated.

He rejected all proposals for big government plans, relied on voluntary private charities and local govt to take place of federal government, said that handouts would undermine American character, and he also cut taxes.

    My grandparents were poor and very affected by the depression. But, my grandmother, bless her soul, was known by the transients (hoboes) in town and that they could get a warm and filling noonday meal. They would line up at her back door, and she would bring out a big kettle of soup or other simple foods, and made sure that these poor souls got at least one hot meal during the day. My grandfather wasn't thrilled about it, but he knew that she never fed them until HE had his hot meal of the day first. So many folks rallied around at that time in our history, helping others even though they themselves were hurting, too.

      This has been predicted by Karl Marx though. A capitalist system built to favor a small class of people that accumulate wealth without a cap tends to lead to an economy that eats itself. The corona virus may have made things worse and accelerated the economic downturn but we were already over due for one according to the few economist that aren't delusional.
      1. We need a wealth cap.
      2. Businesses should be structured more democratically (worker coops) to install checks and balance, transparency, accountability and increased economic mobility in the workplace.
      3. A more comprehensive progressive taxation system.
      4. The economy should not be run mostly on debt. There should be a limit to how much debt is taken.
      5. Essential work should be tax free such as doctors and farmers to safeguard those positions while also encouraging more interest in those essential jobs. (Just an idea)
      6. Central banking is necessary and there should be better regulation on federal printing/spending.

    Somehow the history of the 1927 stock market crash never mentions FDR‘s part in causing the crash. FDR was New York’s governor, and at the time, the states regulated the stock exchanges. FDR failed to properly regulate the New York Stock Exchange, the largest stock exchange by far, and that led to the wild speculation that led to the crash.

    Hold on here, the deflationary cycle could have happened because of all the consumption during the 1920s up to 1929. The fed already pumped lots of money in the economy by setting low interest rates. This made for an increase of the money supply across the country by more than 50% if I read it right.
    This can explain the deflationary period and asset bubble in the stock market. More loans default due to overleverage because of the liberal loans. I miss good old Austrian economics in here :)

    The problem with this analysis is that employment is always a lagging indicator of economic growth or decline.

Using employment to indicate the beginning of a depression is like using flooding to mark the beginning of a storm.

    Before the Great Depression, panics, recessions and depressions lasted no more than a few years. The government never involved itself in these short setbacks. Suddenly in the 1930s, the Federal Reserve raised the discount (interest) rates and the United States government raised tariffs and taxes and increased regulations on businesses. The Great Depression lasted 10 years. And the New Deal which raised taxes even more and increased regulations caused the economy to be even worse. The trough of the Great Depression occurred in 1937, four years after the start of the New Deal. Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau stated, " We have spent millions of dollars, and it has done nothing."
