'Much worse than the 1970s': Historian Niall Ferguson has a warning for investors

- Top historian Niall Ferguson warned Friday that the world is sleepwalking into an era of political and economic upheaval akin to the 1970s - only worse.
I wonder if people that experienced the 2008 crash had it easier because this market conditions are driving me to insanity, my portfolio has lost over $26500 this Nov. alone my profits are tanking and I'm don't see my retirement turning out well when I can't even grow my stagnant reserv.
@Abu.chowdhury I’m new to all this, heard it's a good time to buy and basically I've just got cash sitting duck in the bank and I’d really love to put it to good use seeing how inflation is at an all time-high, who is this coach that guides you, mind I look them up.
By portfolio I'm assuming you mean the "worth of your public stocks. If so, I would say focus more on the operational performance of the companies who represent those stocks than the paper value of the stock market.
Love economics because nobody really knows anything.
They know exactly what they are doing, The problem is some times people and revolutions get in the way only to start the process all over again.
First by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property.
Basically
Actually we're intentionally keeping you in the dark. But I wasn't supposed to tell you that.
Read my post above ... it takes a lot more work than the economists think.
Actually Niall Ferguson knows a lot more than most top economists. The reason? Economics is 1000 times more difficult than physics or chemistry.
I can envision double digit inflation. I’m 68 years old, I was a young family man trying to get my first mortgage back then (early ‘80’s). 9% adjustable mortgage, that jumped up twice into double digits. It took us years and years to recover from that. The upside was that we learned to live frugally. That is really important. Really. Learn to cook at home, drastically reduce dependence on restaurant food. Drugs, gambling…… really? Plenty of other ways to have fun. Find a reasonably priced fitness place, convenient to where you live, and exercise on a regular basis. Oh…. Here’s the key. Either don’t get married, or, find the right mate and DON’T get divorced. Invest in sensible ETF’s and diversify. Many of the personal finance sites I read stress buying and holding rental properties. Might be good, but I have seen and heard so many nightmare stories. That’s enough….good luck.
Haha divorce - that one falls under go woke and go broke
I am already learning to live frugally😅 no takeouts, picking cheap brands for home, etc I hope it doesn’t get too bad though. And though i am a girl, i am not planning on having kids. Don’t want to end up not knowing how to feed a kid. I guess the white demographic part of the planet is going to shrink even more.

Bad energy policy, bad foreign policy, bad regulatory policy , and insane fiscal policy.
50 and retiring early. I'm really concerned abt the future in all aspects of where we all going, in this breath finances ; how to stay afloat.

If I may add a slightly pessimistic note; it seems to me that quite often throughout history, politicians have distracted populations from internal unrest and mistrust of government, by getting into “good little wars” and everyone is either “with us or with them”. A distraction from problems that are very often created by their own politicians actions. And during war, privations and currency correction, can be addressed with impunity
You stole my name
This is 100% accurate. The reason behind all this China talk is the distraction. Unfortunately ordinary people don't seem to see through the fog to realize that it's our own politicians policies that got us where we are right now.
what you are saying is the sad truth ... Putin over estimate his ability to take Ukraine and Biden want this war for his political believes (righteousness) ... no one wanted the peace ... except for those living in Ukraine (not the politicians).
Oh, it’s that on quantum steroids at this point. Buckle up
Have you thought that maybe it’s the internal unrest and distrust that causes the wars rather than vice versa?

How about we measure inflation now the same way we did in the 70’s? If we did, we would already be at 14-18%…
No we have expenses like Netflix, home wifi, meal kit subscriptions, etc. So the way to measure HAS to change - it can not stay the same and still be relevant.
@@failedfishermanBC huh? They still had food, gas, and homes, etc. in the 70’s. If we take housing alone, we no longer factor in home prices in the cpi !? Instead we use owners equivalent rent, which is a highly underreported number due to the way they survey rent and it makes up a full 33% of the inflation number. If we used actual home sales and accurate rent increases, we would be at double digits alone. This doesn’t even factor in the other ways the current measures understate current inflation vs. 70’s measures.
This appears to be a talking point that people of a particular persuasion are encouraged to post.
If they went back to calculating inflation the way they did in the 70s we would be at double digit inflation now
Easy
Yes, someone said it would be about 12%.
Yep.
@@aliasoma If you go to Shadowstats, they use the government's pre-1998 CPI. They have it at about 14%. That matches my experience more than the govt's current bullshit numberm
Today's 10% inflation in the UK would be closer to 18% by 1970s calculations.
Lies, damned lies and statistics etc.
Wonderful discussion but we must NEVER interrupt such a guest like this one. Let him stay on his subject and continue to talk and teach us. Thank you. A great program and otherwise a good interviewer. RS. Canada
This is all by design. Welcome to the Great Reset.
It would have been nice to see him interrupted and asked to address points like the fact the interest rates are now no where near what they were prior to the crisis in '73, we are coming off a decade of near zero inflation and are still below the inflation trendline from 2000-2008 even after the recent inflation, oil prices are below what they were prior to the invasion, and that the US is now an oil exporter and the largest world producer.
@@shivasrightfoot2374 Absolutely right! Americans learned from Paul Volker not to be like Arthur Burns. Inflation was deliberately stoked by the worst Fed Chair ever, Jerome Powell, who doesn't even have an economics degree. If Putler uses nukes everything is going to change anyway.
In 2009 Warren Buffet was saying that we will have inflation worse than 1970's.He also was saying about US bankruptcy

We are already in the big crash, Inflation is a catastrophe. To bring the stock market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

The higher level of debt is DEFLATIONARY. If inflation grows, the value of that debt declines. The decline was inconsequential in the 1970s, but it is huge today.
Inflation makes debt *easier* to service. Higher level of government debt in particular creates the *impetus* for inflation. Governments want the inflation because they can always tax a percentage of nominal GDP to service the debt - the bigger the nominal GDP (regardless if there's any real growth) the better.
@@r64g, that was true in the 1970s, and while it is still true, there's a difference now. There is much more debt now than there was. When inflation rises, the value of that debt declines, reducing the money supply. That, by definition, is deflationary.
@@johncarder819 By this flawed logic, the government can simply add debt to 1000% GDP and spend our way into economic nirvana without ever having to worry about inflation. Why hasn't anyone done it already?

Great interview. More of Niall Ferguson please
Hero ?
A brilliant analysis by Niall Ferguson. The factors underlying the current economic crisis are qualitatively quite different from former configurations, and it makes no sense to think that applying remedies that have resolved the situation in the past will be applicable to the current situation.
In particular, in the present circumstance am not convinced that the FED's current policy of raising interest rates will be effective in reducing inflation, but will instead contribute to spiraling it upward.
If the only tool you know of is a hammer, and the only possible thing you know to do with a hammer is to pound nails down, then everything becomes a nail.
Perhaps economists should become aware that all hammers are not sledge hammers and that many hammers come with a claw end that can be used for extracting nails, and they should start looking for how to use this other end of the hammer.
I think he is very wrong. Niall Ferguson does not understand the geopolitics of Asia, he is not aware that if Taiwan falls to China, Japan and Korea are now split off from the rest of Asia, they will have no access to Australia, New Zealand and the rest of SE Asia. China wants to force nations to it's side and create a new world order where they dominate nations in their sphere, if Taiwan falls China wins so the USA cannot and will not surrender Taiwan it's Taiwan or nothing. This is not about the USA changing policies form the 1970s it is about a situation where if Taiwan falls to China, Asia then falls to China. It's as simple as that.
Taiwan can not "fall" to China. Taiwan is, has been, and will remain a part of China.
Unlike the US hegemonic agenda, China has no expansionist interest in dominating Japan, New Zealand, or the rest of SE Asia.
Are they at Villa d'Este in Lake Como? Nice way to make us envious...
I was right. An elitist conference at Cernobbio. Although I like Ferguson's historical perspective
Inflation is actually above 16% in America. They just don’t look at Inflation the way they used to like in 1970’s.
J(r)oes, colored glasses?
Not just what he mentions, but the energy crisis (because most Eu nations can't meet the load demand by their own production). The electricity prices are skyrocketing, ans not just because of speculations, but real reasons (the changed weather and dimmer heat accounts for pretty empty water reservoirs).
This (if nothing else) will push the Eu in recession.
Chinese construction bubble just popped and will, due to the size of the country, spread to other countries.
Thanks buddy
What a beautiful location ....
His perspective on this matter is relevant to be sure.
Yeah totally ignoring all of the deflationary factors. Population decrease, globalization and artificial intelligence.
Niall Ferguson does not make accurate prophecies. He just brings up good points. This doesn't mean we may hit a cluster fuck. Just not the one he predicted.
When the Ukraine war started he said it would only last 10 weeks :)
I agree with you! Inflation is retreating.
Agreed 1000% , it's basically going to be the direct opposite of what he's saying which arguably could be just as bad till we sustain on our own two feet. The thing he's right about is there definitely will not be a soft landing.
Yeap
Historians have learned that they need to insinuate lots of disasters to hold a job. The alternative career path is "would you like fries with that?"
The consistent poorest state in USA is Mississippi. Economists,as reported in The Times,are now predicting the UK will be poorer,in terms of income and wealth in the broad sense. Furthermore 10% of the population hold nearly 50%of UK wealth,and wealth inequality increasing is about the only safe bet sadly…what a mess we have created
He said it right on ...You cannot have fix inflation without a recession... same as you cannot fix a leaky pipe without turn off the water..patching it will only works for the short term.
What if it's supply side, and those factors are easing
Exactly, as he said Powell might be the reincarnation of Paul Volcker just made my day. ROFL
At the point we ALL are at, it's just prepare, if possible, for impact!
I favor a soft landing rather than tanking the economy into the ground
Common sense, a rare commodity. Unheard of in the absence of fathers!
The 1970's was a s...t time. Two gruesome recessions (1971-73 & 1977-78), 25,000 conscientious objectors forced to work for no pay as "volunteers" because hospitals refused to hire them, the gasoline shortage crisis of 1977-1978 and the freezing of wage buying-power entering its 10th year (1968-1978). And U.S. employers were gearing up to automate and outsource jobs leading to a 50-year long "Long, Slow Depression."

I think I'm correct in saying that the world isn't actually producing much more than it was in the 1970s, but the only thing that's changed is the growing debt that's been attached to it.
Really, in many ways, the last 50 years have been a great swindle and I'm sure that history will come to see it that way in good time.
Yup. Allow the world population to increase, scam the wealth off the people and now eliminate the people…😡
One person's debt is someone elses asset. 75% of US debt is private sector savings (and no shortage of buyers). The current inflation is the supply shock. We did stop much of the world economy for covid - which is unprecedented. I have plumber friends who can't get 2inch abs elbows. Myself having run a print business for decades I'm seeing unprecedented shortages of paper. The ports are still backed up. Its like the shift to household goods from military after ww2, there was major inflation then too.

@@titusp9488 Brilliantly silly remark. Where to start? Firstly, anyone a liberal disagree with is not by definition ‘ not to be taken seriously’. Ferguson is a highly credentialed historian (Oxford and Harvard) and has branched out into economic history. Secondly, as liberals are only capable of dealing with simple Manichaean dichotomies, they have no understanding of nuance: the British Empire had bad and good aspects - as many former colonies recognise. ‘Revisionist’ as used by you merely means that Ferguson doesn’t subscribe to the whole liberal narrative about empire. Next - he wasn’t ‘kicked out of the UK’. Your final sentence is risible sophomoric nonsense, translatable into ‘he writes things I fervently disagree with, so he is a nonentity’.

The current economic state is closer to the 1940's than the 1970's.
I feel more like 1930s (China in particular is bursting after lots of crazy growth) and we seem to be headed to war with Russia/China as the equivalent of Germany/Japan... vs the democratic states of Western Europe/UK/Japan/USA/Aus/Taiwan etc
Currently, I feel as if I am living in 1929.

Quite possibly Lake Como
Pretty.
In a commercial environment when a borrower has more debt, and there is higher risk associated to the borrower, the lender raises rates to acknowledge the increased risk associated with the debt. In the last 15 years the govs have embarked on massive overspending and creating deficits and debts that are unserviceable, and throughout this 15 process of accumulating this unserviceable debt, the fed has reduced rates instead of raising rates. This has essentially fuelled and encouraged more unserviceable debt. The motive of creating unserviceable debt could be the introduction of cbdcs to offer a resolution to the ensuing mess.
I agree with everything you write, except that the main driver of creating unserviceable debt is the political class and their never-ending quest for more power and wealth. They are at the core of the fiscal and monetary systems, so they benefit the most from large infusions of cash. It's not surprising then they always make pitches to the general public, "if we don't spend an exorbitant amount to solve x problem now, we will be worse off in the distant future." They are so full of themselves, that many actually believe their own propaganda and have lost sight of their own greed. You can see the giddiness in their demeanor in the media when faced with a new "crisis" because it reinforces their sense of self-importance. The current inflation crisis can be traced back to early 2021 when the new government passed the "American Rescue" stimulus of trillions in new spending after the fundamentals of the economy had already recovered (I, and many others, had predicted it would cause inflation back then, but we were ignored by the political class). They have continued to push for trillions in new spending since because that is all they are programmed to do in the detached reality in which they have ensconced themselves.
Hi. Timothy. Yes there an be no doubt that the drivers of this debt fuelled situation is the desired wealth transfer to the globalists. The public think the money spending is necessary as the causes all seem virtuous. But under proper scrutiny these excess expenditures were not based on science or economics. And the resultant debt fuelled situation has just facilitated the wealth transfer by the old pump and dump strategy. Interesting times.
@@phils5650 Yes, agreed. But to your point, some of the smarter and more forward-thinking among the oligarchy see that their access to the gravy train under its current structure cannot continue indefinitely, they have therefore latched on to co-opting the most promising technology to "reset" the next iteration of the system for their own power/enrichment. It is a fundamentally parasitic approach, and one that will be difficult to thwart by the common masses (especially if the elites continue to succeed in dividing and subverting societies along the way).
Can't do a Volker with global debt levels so high. Roubini stated its delusional to expect a recession that is not severe.

I have never heard of a "diesel shortage" in my life and yet now we are facing that here in the USA. Our country is imploding under this administration.
Really? How old are you exactly - 15?
There was a massive diesel shortage under GWB in 2008 - with average prices skyrocketing to then unheard of levels above $3/gal.
If you're going to make a big show of clutching the pearls with outrage over this supposed 'unprecedented' state of affairs???
At least ask somebody old enough to help you do it credibly.
I don't remember any diesel shortage under Bush or any other President. I don't remember any President saying he was going to shut down the hydrocarbon industry in America until this guy was selected.
@@davidwell686 The first point is not everybody else's problem. There are plenty of resources that would've refreshed your memory about the prices I quoted. My personal favorite is the site for the US Energy Information Administration (USEIA)-

The second point was not part of your initial complaint - which is all I addressed.
Now that you've made the second complaint, go ahead and likewise direct me to the relevant quote that confirms it.

When I saw the title referring to "an historian making a financial analysis"....
I immediately concluded that this guy is probably a Brit...
Britons with the most amplified RP accents often massively overestimate themselves, their skills, competences....and the power and importance of their country...
At one point we will have a harsh recession, and in fact a recession has already started ...
no big prediction...
Want financial advices? you better listen to the folks who made billions in finance, Tudor jones, Buffet, Munger and many others ... not the talking heads who write in financial newspapers.
The same guy wrote a book stating that Britain should not have entered WW1. He ignore that had Germany won WW1 and taken over Europe, Britain would have been the next domino to fall soon or later. That is exactly why the pre-ww1 British government decided to enter the war, oh surprise... Ferguson thinks that he is more clever than they were.
I don’t think you understand WW1. Perhaps you need to go look at it again. Germany did not start it and were not the main belligerent.

It is fairly simple, of every dollar printed 95 cents went straight into non value excessive market ballooning. The economy will stay out of balance until the excess dollars are backed by real value or taken out of the system.
I think when you take the Federal reserve requirement from 10% as it was for a long ever, down to 3% and now 0% as the credit Masters create credit and then sell it on Wall Street so that they can create some more with nothing behind it. A 10% deposit requirement on $10,000 creates $100,000 of credit potential. It's 3% deposit requirement creates 5 million dollars worth of credit potential. And if it's a zero percent deposit requirement you can create all the credit you can create if you can sell it, and buy the whole neighborhood with borrowed cash as I save $10,000 struggling to come up with a down payment. And that interest that never lets you pay off the debt because you're paying it with borrowed money and you have to borrow more money to pay what you borrowed because it's all borrowed. And if you get rid of the excess dollars there's no dollars to cover the debt, the interest. When the interest owed is more than the principal owed, complete bankruptcy will be at hand, unless more credit is created to cover the payments of just the interest which was incomplete and doesn't touch the principal which continues to grow. The way money is created, perhaps even the barons ought to fear.

Ferguson talking more sense on economics than he did on covid
Fed talks differently than have acted, hence the stickier inflation. Fed has been talking and talking and that’s it.
The Fed needs to normalize rates. They must unload trillions of treasuries and MBS off their balance sheet. The dollars received from the sell must be extinguished.
Lake Como?
The only disaster we can have is hyper inflation because every single event is "fixed," by printing.
The parallels of the 2020s to the 1970s is alarming. Ferguson and Sacks have some interesting ideas.
the more like the Weimar Republic and ultra inflation. We are going to buy food with cases of dollars.

A lot of inflation is supply side. Reduce supply, demand too high, price goes up....this is the energy crisis and the supply issues from China being in covid lockdowns. Raising interest rates would be catastrophic in this situation.
You can’t blame supply for inflation because supply cannot be changed by policy in the short term. Demand managers have a duty to lower demand to match supply. Interest rates must be raised.

TRADING HAS NOT BEEN GOING WELL WITH ME, I HAVE INVESTED A LOT OF TIME AND FAILED, I TRADED ON MY OWN BUT EACH TIME I KEEP LOOSING MONEY. I DON'T HAVE GOOD STRATEGIES TOWARDS THE MARKET. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE PUT ME THROUGH ON THE RIGHT PATH.
I came here to learn how to trade after listening to this video I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.
The best strategy to use in trading is to trade a professional who understands the market quite well, that way maximum profit is guaranteed. Because I have learned along the way of my investment that research and analysis are important, note that experience is more needed, than luck when it comes to the financial market.
Yeah you're right, most times it amazes me greatly the way I moved fro an average lifestyle to earning over $62k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities abound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.
@@dauglasfumes7440 Wow buddy, that's more than a mouthful of profits you're making. How do you achieve this feat consistently? You must be a genius in trading.
@@Kelvin.luther.007 Anyways not actually, what I know about trading almost on zilch lol. I make huge profits on my investment since I started trading with an Expert, her trading strategies are top notch coupled with the little commission she charges on her trade.
What is most important for us to learn about this presentation is where the hell were they? I want to go there, and sit at that table and relax sipping on a beer or wine.
Interesting that he said Chinese vaccines are not working 😂😂
It's interesting that Taiwan is currently important for its chip manufacturing so that neither the US nor China can tolerate the other party having full control of it. Although it appears that China is moving towards independence on that front.
Anyway, as far as I know of it, the US military doesn't think that Taiwan can be defended. So provoking the Chinese on that subject is just dumb.
There's no real good in treating China as an enemy anyway. Trying to hold onto power by keeping others down is a dangerous long term strategy... Always better to invest more in self improvement. Plus, assuming that the US did end up weaker than China some day, enmity would hardly have been a good thing to set up before that kind of future.
As it is, we really need to work together internationally, to get the global economy moving back onto the right track... Preferably think less in terms of "countries" and more in terms of "what benefits people and humanity".
Take the Ukraine war for example: Is there a commitment to the welfare of the Ukrainian people, or is it about "defeating Russia"? The way it's going, Ukraine could end up another Afghanistan... Because we don't truly think about people when determing our goals.
Sanctions and giving Ukraine weapons aren't really a way to fasttrack peace and stability in that region. The sanctions may not even really be hurting Russia all that much vs the harm they're doing elsewhere (strange as that is)
As a person from Taiwan, 24 million Taiwanese just want to be left alone and not invaded by China. China defines what is a PROVOCATION. and China keeps changing the criteria. If you want to believe in what China wants, you are simply stupid.
Unlike Afghanistan, I think the people in Ukraine are benefiting hugely from US help. I suspect most Ukrainians would choose the path of fighting back and pushing Russia out.
Peace in the region is not an option on the table, not in the short term. The atrocities committed by Russia so far make that clear.
The only “peace and stability” that Ukraine will see if Russia is not stopped is the peace of the grave, as the documented mass atrocities carried out by Russian forces and Russia’s own genocidal anti-Ukrainian rhetoric make clear. Giving control over the world’s energy, food, and fertilizer supplies to a regime that has shown itself to be a ravenous imperialist power with a clear list of planned future conquests would be utterly irresponsible. The price of resisting Russia today is far lower than it would be after another five or ten years of appeasement.
