This is what happens when you live on credit. My grandparents were born in the 20's, and told me how it was in those days before the crash, and then after. Both of them were determined never to buy stuff on credit if at all possible. If they didn't have the cash to buy something, they just did without it.
My grandparents too
The problem today is that the 'cash' has been progressively and seriously devalued: you put money away and you find later on that it buys nothing.
It's being said more and more that the 1929 Crash was deliberately set up by the Fed banks (which were and are private, not Government, banks) to wreck the country's economy for their advantage.
@@None-zc5vg Fed bank TODAY is not a Federal Entity, it's a private bank.
Hardly matters because the credit debt we have today, aside from housing loans are no collateral loans. If you default on your credit card it hardly matters. The credit they are referring to in this video are in regards to margin credit. That was the trigger that set the fall. (Margin Call)
Capitalism in entirely based on credit. Let’s go back to Feudalism then lol.

Rose Fincher Can you explain that in detail? How the “bankers” caused 1929?
It's crazy to watch this and how similar times were related to the current situation 100 years later.
It's spooky that we are this stupid

@@jademelrose8765 So many of the safeguards put in place during the Depression to ensure the stability of the market have since been “deregulated” and we’re back to the 1800’s ten year cycles of boom/bust. Thank you, Saint Ronnie…../s
@@kandyaxelrod8797 Stupidity implies ignorance and innocent intentions. This was sheer greed and unfeeling malice disguised behind an air of generosity. America is a land of extremes; either things are going ungodly well or it's 1929 or 1973 or 1979 or 2008 all over again. They just like to find ways to fuck over the rest of the world in the process. The American cancer has only grown more powerful in 94 years until it's become a game of "follow the bellend" to the bottom rung of existence. Calling America anything other than a soul sucking leech or a cancer at this point is like calling Putin a friendly and nice hearted guy. Overly generous at best and either delusional or propaganda at worst. They're gonna drag us down with them but we have to follow the retards or the entire rest of the world will shun us.
My mother’s family were dirt poor, even in the 20s. So when the Depression hit, there wasn’t a great change in their lives. My father’s family, another story! They lost three of four houses, sold four of five vehicles, had to let go their cook and two maids and do it themselves. Mom's family moved out of Brooklyn to Long Island. Grandma took in washing, house cleaned, cleaned a doctor's office, cleaned the post office. The children did the laundry, picked up, washed, dried, delivered it, all with hand cranked wringer washers. By summer, they lived in an army tent, in winter, in the summer beach shanty of the people Grandma cleaned for. They had no running water or electric until 1938, by which time two of three children had left school for work. Then they moved to a summer cottage with electric.
Yaser Elwishahi It depends upon your attitude, whether you’re worried. The kids weren’t worried; it was simply the way they were used to, Mom, especially since it’s far better to be poor in the country where you can have a garden for produce, keep a few hens for eggs or eating if they quit laying. The playground was the woods leading down to a beautiful beach on Long Island Sound. The tent was camping and the beach house was theirs for the cold months. It had a coal/wood stove for heating and cooking. There was always some kind of soup, stew, and a kettle of hot water for tea. Tea might be from the grocery, but it was more often herbal, picked or grown nearby. Even in my fathers family, nobody bemoaned his fate. Grumbling or any type of “emoting” was something one simply did not do. It was counterproductive, and made you a “slacker,” --a lazy, good-for-nothing bum.” The welfare of the group always came before personal fulfillment. If you didn’t like something, you sucked it up and moved on. It was not until after WWII that one heard talk centered on “I, me, mine, myself.” Prior to WWII, if there was any emphasis on the individual, it was to meet one’s obligations towards others. Of course there were feelings, but these were a mere by-product, not the focus of one’s existence. Funny how The Greatest Generation gave rise to the Boomers, the most self-centered generation in history. Somehow, the willingness and value of to sacrifice self

Wow. So interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. This needs to be taught in every school worldwide
My father was born in 1919 on a small self sustaining farm and because they always paid cash for everything they survived the depression ok. They had veggies, hogs, cows for milk and cheese as well as meat they had fruit trees and honey combs so, they did well. My mother was born in 1926 and my grandfather worked for the city of Detroit. His job was secure but as the depression went on mom and her sister spent school breaks and summers with her aunt and uncle on their farm coming back to the city for the school year with their father.
Man I need to shape up and quit taking my life for granted so lucky to be alive right now.

My Great Great-grandfather lost his fortune. I'm told he was thrown out of his factory along with his management and employees. It's crazy tonight you sleep a rich man tommorow you wake up poor.
My great grandmother was a child when the great depression hit and would walk around at night when drunk men would leave the bars and they would drop their tickets by accident while intoxicated and she would pick them up and bring them home to her father so he could get shoes.its nice hearing and listening to her stories about her experiences during her time going through it. She's well and alive as of now.

You should read, or listen to Freedom From Fear. It's a great book about the depression era, and goes right up through the second world war.
Terrific and a must watch. I saw so many parallels from more modern events.

Never buy margin stocks. It's basically gambling and 75% of people lose.
Rob Basque sorry for your lost of investment scam
Rob Basque more deliberation next time before making a choice especially if involves money
You get it. It wasn’t the fact that people were buying stocks. It was people buying stocks on margin. Once the market crashes, the brokers make margin calls and the investor can’t fulfill it, the investor loses their shares and their original deposit. If a person invest with expendable income, even if the market tanks, they still have their shares and can just wait it out until the market picks back up again.
So you’re saying there’s a chance
Whats margin stocks
Hank's deep thought of the day: A great depression is easier for poor people; they were used to being poor before the depression started, so there's less to get used to. Please discuss.
Discuss? Are you kidding? The hair trigger need to be offended these days would sound too much like the wailing of Howard Zinn on what torture his life in the USA - which of course he never wanted to just leave for greener pastures - was, which it seems he never got over. I guess he either thought the rest of the World was utopia, or that the USA persecutes every nation and there's just no escaping the intense oppression of all those evil people who love freedom more than government handouts.
Great way for my daughter to see what she is reading about in school. Thanks!
what do u do?
School's are run by the government they aren't going to tell the whole truth and story and bank's are the worst place to put your money in they steal it with all the fees
Thank you for sharing this video. I sat next to a charming lady on a plane last night who grew up during the great depression. Seeing this video really brings to life the amazing experiences she shared with me.
This is nothing new...Harry Truman said in 1946 ...the only thing new in the world is the history you haven't read yet..
Guys, this is my personal opinion. The great depression, 2008 crisis and the covid crisis teach us the need to save money, learn how to manage money , not spending more than we earn, not living in credit and always being prepared for difficult or worst situations. let God give the middle class and the poor, the strength to survive during these difficult times.
Just buy bitcoin and hang on. Maybe some gold if you aren't a believer in btc like me but bitcoin is the future
You’re right. Those who have cash saved will survive.
According to Joseph Stiglitz (Economics) "The crash was inevitable. It was just a matter of time, it was inevitable." Those words, in my opinion, ring true today; even more true today.
kodachromefilm Depressions are inevitable We have staved them off for 50 years but they will get us finely and getting out will be a problem. Our constitution says gold and silver is money, got any?
Sidney Boudro How are depressions inevertable ?
I say they are quite deliberate ( and therefore utterly avoidable) and where did the billions lost in the depression go ?????????????????????
Sergei Jakube Depressions are unavoidable when there is to much money printed. The next step is to print less which causes a depression. There is the other option is to keep on printing until the money is worth nothing this causes sky rocket inflation. Our politicians have never been able to walk the fine line between the two.
Given a host of wrongheaded actions, including a Fed that did not know what it was doing, the Depression was inevitable.
+Sergei Jakube Good question
While watching this I couldn’t help but imagine a documentary 50 years from now, also talking about the “twenties”. It will be very very similar to this one. Except the footage will be in full HD and will feature even crazier clowns running governments, almost all else will be the same.
Probably not many of those LBGT and all those other stolen letters from the Alphabet parading around .

It is good to stay with the farm...once it's gone there is no replacing it.

Yup
Here in Canada, Vancouver real estate over the last decade has experienced a major speculative boom with 45% of Vancouver homes now breaking 1 million and still climbing fast. Looks like a big fat bubble to me.
+rEdf196 Obese like I say...
+Remskii In the last year alone, the average detached home in Vancouver rose 20% in value. Its like a feeding frenzy with houses selling within weeks or days of going on the market with competing bidding wars, Its insane.
+rEdf196
Born and raised in Vancouver since 1964, I hate the god damn rents going up every effen year. My one bedroom on the west side near VGH where I was birthed is $200 to $300 more than on the east side, only about 10 blocks away for the same damn apartment, what's up with that!? I am so sick of the rents here not just the prices to buy a home. People are paying half or more of the pay on rent these days, this has to stop some how.
+Al Uma Naughty There are an awful lot of high flying global investors with deep pockets from China, US, Europe, ect They snap up properties then flip a year or 2 later make a couple hundred thousand in profit. I have heard lots of stories of unoccupied homes going through multiple offshore owners. old homes getting demolished to build monster mansions. and pricey rent apartments too. My ant and uncle bought property in New West Minster in 1962 for $25000 today its worth $1.3 mil double what it was just 5 years ago They hate all the growing yearly taxes they have to pay. I am sure many apartment owners are feeling the pinch too. reflecting in the growing rent fees.
rEdf196
I know, it sucks, eh? it makes me sick, profit before people will be the down fall of nations, it has been so in the past but people tend to only remember from the time of their births or a decade or so before.
Buy now pay later sounds familiar credit card today people buys consumer goods they can't afford.
in 2008 crash, loan defaults of all kinds put together comprised less than 3% of the total losses, the rest was the derivatives bubble blown by the 1% ... and then we made them whole by printing up $12 Trillion and putting it in the hands of the bank shareholders = the 1%
That's why its going to crash it's Inevitable and on top of that there's more debt money around then real money Bills in circulation so how to back up iou Bills with too little real paper bills to service that huge debt?
@@mookins45 indeed
both in 2008 and back in the Great Depression, it was bubble-speculation, not loan defaults, that caused the economic collapse

Wow crazy to think my great grandma is still alive and was alive during this. She was born 1927.
My grandpa was 5 at the time. He said he remembers sharing a metal shack with 2 other families. They had no running water or electricity, and dirt floors. He said they had to go around back and manually pump water from a spicket connected to a pipe somewhere behind that little shack. But he also said he knows they were lucky, because some people didn't even have that.

Wow. Hoover's response to the crash sounds vaguely familiar. "Everything's fine, nothing to worry about".
In the end, his response may have been smarter than Roosevelt’s. There’s significant data today to indicate that FDR’s New Deal actually prolonged the Great Depression for years longer than it otherwise would have lasted. In the end, it was WWII and the resulting expansion the manufacturing base that saved the economy. In addition, it was Roosevelt who set us on the path to becoming a debtor nation and destroyed federalism, two issues that remain problems for us today, especially in connection with the Wuhan Virus.

My nan and pop have great stories from the depression here in Australia. Makes you realise how lucky we are in the current state of the world economy.
All four of my grandparents, both parents and their siblings grew up in the Depression. I never knew my dad's dad or mom's mom. But I do know my dad's mom showed how she was affected as she got older. She never threw anything away if someone could use or fix it and used to go dumpster diving. So sad to see how people only looked at the profit, but not the loss.
My dad had 4 fridges and freezers and we were only 4 people on the house. He just never wanted to be short of food. It was difficult for me to understand, as he grew up on a big farm and they had pleny of everything. But the depression made an huge impression on people.
@@barbarawright5774 It sure did. It was a time of institutionally driven anorexia. Once you’ve literally starved for a protracted period of time, you never view food the same way again.

@@mikerice5298 And in recent history, we can trace that right back to St. Ronnie of voodoo “trickle down” economics and the rampant “deregulation” of all the safe guards that were put into place to ensure the Crash/Depression wouldn’t happen again. Destroying the power of collective bargaining starting with the Air Traffic Controllers resulted in the gutting of the blue collar working class. I’m really pleased to observe the recent rise of worker discontent and now, the word “union” is starting to loose the negative connotation the government tarred and feathered them with. Many people DIED for the right to collectively bargain in the early 1900’s. How quickly we forget……
Oh my god. I was here from our 10th grade history chapter. It’s intriguing how almost every comment narrates their real life ancestral stories.
My mother, born in 1927, said she remembered fishing a half-eaten apple out of the garbage can behind her apartment building in Jersey City, NJ during the Depression. They were so poor, they took food when they could.
History is repeating itself,
We will experience a depression like never before.
Inflation, high gas, high food,
That's is a very scary signs.
Cryptocurrency market had a crazy boom for two years followed by this current beer market. This is obviously history repeating itself as the elites control every material in this world. Luckily for the poor they and I myself have nothing to lose since the only way we have to go is up. It’s times like these were opportunists take advantage to make money. Matthew 5:3
Hat makers must of had an incredible hedge during all of this...
Very true!
Nothing complicated about the great depression, it was a national poker game. They wanted to enrich themselves by gambling on the market; anted up, bet and lost. Many saw the writing on the wall, rushed to withdraw their money from the banks and many of the banks also folded. Our family was poor in 1929 because my father could not find work and my mother would pick dandelions to make soup for us tots. Father finally got a job as ship's engineer taking coal across Lake Eire until a storm sank the ship and he drowned. My mother then took us three brothers ages 6 months, 1 yr and 3 yrs back to England where she came from. That's life...no complaints.

April 18, 2020---Dad & Mom grew up during the Depression and I listened to their stories. Which is why when food was flying off the shelf, I wasn't worried. And no doubt, the same people who went to hoarding tp, etc. won't of learned their lesson.
Come think about it,that generation was pretty resilient，after all the despair，sense of helpless and humiliation，they could still rise above from it.Watching the historian talking about feel the shame of his reaction of his father‘s job，almost brought me to tears.Nowadays kids with much minor problems needed therapy，and it may still scare them for life.
I was given shares in my company for my 401K plan. I wasn't told I could trade those shares or do anything really with my 401K. I was told that was all handled by the investment companies handling the accounts. My shares increased 10 times what they were when we were up for purchase. I didn't know to sell then, when the stock was at it's highest. The next day the stock plummeted because the deal was over. In other words, I didn't know what the hell I was doing in the stock market. I lost about 100K because of this.
Could we talk about that ?
too much money out and not enough back and people panicked due to an earlier problem and experience and memory of that rush so confidence dropped rapidly

The USA is the country with the biggest debt by far... why do you think it's still not bancrupt? Because they take what they want. They steal and rob everyone with no significant consequences. The USA is the cancer of this planet.
Just like life. When someone is losing their life, someone else is giving life in the same hospital.
It sounds awfully similar today, "Economy is sound.", "Those people(unemployed) are lazy.." etc.
Sometimes, history repeats itself. But only when it comes to excuses.

History repeats when you don't learn from it.

If the majority of people had a habit of learning mistakes and successes from the past, there will be no such thing as Tea Party.

I would add on top that, "Gun craze", "anti-Immigrants", "anti-government", "free market worship".
Whether you like to admit it or not, they were in common place in 1920s-30s.
allgoo19 Why do you need to have a job and why ( for most people) must it be full time ???????????????
And where did the billions lost in the depression go ????????????????????
I look forward to your answer, Elvis
👍👍👍💕 thank you‼️
Very understandable and explained simply and visually on many levels. Thank you, for your time and effort and bringing this to us.
All of the things said about the stock market in the 20's on this documentary can be said about TODAY's stock market!
Believe it or not, we are living through the same period again.
I 100% agree
100x worse now. Open borders,no manufacturing and way way more deadly enemies

"It (the stock market) sort of cut loose from its moorings by which I mean, instead of being based on real values of the underlying companies, it was a speculators market in which people bought and sold stock thinking that if they bought it now, they could sell it later for more money."
Anyone else seeing some clear similarities to this 2020 situation!?!?
No, completely different..... intended sarcasm
The seed of greed grows a garden of dead flowers.
Credit gave the people a false feeling of wealth. If the credit stopped, your wealth was cut to 1/4.
Most people today don’t own the cars they drive, the house they live in, the clothes on their back and in some cases, the food on their table.
Agreed,,a recipe for disaster,,just a matter of time....⏳
Sounds like we are due a bad fall.
Sounds like a democrat run city. Keyword city...us rural.didnt starve during the depression and wont during the on to come....its called pick up a fishing pole....or a rifle and put food on the table. My great grandfather lived during the depression in a town of 3000 and no one starved they converted to the trade system.
@@marioncobretti8210 yes farmers suffered terribly, drought and dust bowl. They would leave their farms and walk hundreds of miles when the wells ran dry. Can’t live on a farm with no water.
so somebody owns them
mY PAPPY WAS BORN IN 1919....i REMEMBER HIM TALKING ABOUT THE DEPRESSION...HE HAD LEFT THE FARM....
I remember my father, who had worked for .25 a day crying like a baby when Roosevelt died. Him and fifty million other men . Contrary to current opinion, we are definitely all in this together and dependent on one anothers actions.
One another’s actions.
And here we go again (2021)!
You are rich when you don't need money. After decades of frugal living and not servicing debt we get a shock every few months when we analyze the accounts and see how much has accumulated. Because money doesn't hold value we keep investing in land, building, and businesses that do.
Our grandparents owned land, grew food, and had cellars full of food. There was never a last minute trip to a store to buy a few items. If they needed a doctor they traded food and other services. It may come to that again.
I like how people pretend that we fixed all the problems which caused the crash. Most are still present...only a matter of time.
That's coz you can't fix human nature, greed & STUPIDITY.
You can't fix the free market. People are free and use their best judgement to proceed with their financial decisions. Uneducated people make uneducated decisions. US really lacks in quality education and common sense for the majority of people. Other than that you can literally speculate a market crash at any moment. Literally any moment. That means nothing. A market crash is not a bad thing. You can make money from or during or after a crash, depending on your investment style and your financial approach. Also a crash ensures the market reflects the real prices of things. In essence anything that goes up can and should go down. The main issue with great depression is the combination of politicians being ignorant and looking after themselves (always the case), people making decisions that had little to no understanding (honestly their fault). The only thing that could improve this would be to introduce financial courses in school and to have certain barriers on who can invest and how much, which would prevent many parties from making money so i don't think it would ever happen. I'm not even sure it should.
Since then the gov has implemented various socialist programs, apparently including a financial backing system that can postpone a crash for much longer, but with a greater power grab once they have to do it. Back then was a simple plundering of the people's money, but they have something much bigger in store next time around - a total switch to a more controllable financial system, and a new world power center, including caps on population and limitations on their way of life.

Sounds exactly what’s going on right now. Even it the cryptocurrency market with people getting into crypto they don’t understand(small cap altcoins)
The very first thing I think of when watching a Great Depression documentary is french speaking historians
ah.....but the "diversity" factor is well worth having to pause & read subtitles instead of just let your ears take in that part of the presentation.
1st lesson in hunger games society. When this virus thing is over after all the govt borrowing history will repeat itself.
Churchill was not there by chance. He was Chancellor Of The Exchequer at that time for Britain (The US equivalent of the Treasury Secretary). He was taken there by the head of the Bank Of England because they were about to show him how they (along with the FED) were going to get back all the gold that they had to give to America from its World War 1 loans. By suddenly withholding any more loans for stock purchases and calling on all margin loans to be paid immediately, they forced the massive sell off and crash. Some of the banking cartel's associates were told in August '29 to get out of the stock market as quietly as possible. Churchill was just there as an observer and had no say in the matter.
jacktheripoff1888 Churchill actually lost a fortune of the stick market... He had invested heavily....But I guess he learnt his lesson!
"The things that will destroy America are peace at any price, prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life." ~Pres. Theodore Roosevelt
if it goes on like this you are waiting for the year 1929 of the great depression
December 19, 2021-Just wait a few more months and this will look like a Sunday Picnic
For those like me who want to just get into where things starting going bad, 15:20 is a good place to start
Lmao thanks
This is not only about 1929!
It's about 2015, as well!!

The stock market was compared to a casino and many of the top speculators used the naivete of the average consumer to swindle them and make money. Reminds me of a relevant quote: "If you're in a poker game and don't know who the mark is it's you."
Part 3 could start 2022.
Has started ...
