    More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
  • The way I see it this recession most likely has an external cause. The United States is losing influence as a federal currency for the first time in decades. They don't have any more economies to utilize to control their inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than previously. They all lend credence to the hypothesis that a new multilateral world order may be in the works.

    This 30-minute video is worth more than my 4 years of studying economics combined
  • @KAdArShDonNVSN
    Can we all take a moment to appreciate the quality of the animation here!! Simply extraordinary
  • I have an Economics Degree from NYU, this video pretty much summed up my entire bachelors degree.
  • It's really wonderful to come across people who freely share valuable information online. You never know what kind of knowledge you might stumble upon that could have a lasting impact on your life.

    Recessions are part of the economic cycle, all you can do is make sure you're prepared and plan accordingly. I graduated into a recession (2009). My 1st job after college was aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today I'm a VP at a global company, own 3 rental properties, invest in stocks and biz, built my own business, and have my net worth increase by $500k in the last 4 years.
  • I love the fact that this YouTube video doesn't have ads... no distraction, full consistent focus, maximum understanding. Way to go!

    I think one needs to be a genius in order to be able to explain such an incredibly complex thing in such a beautifully simple way.

    This, in my opinion, just helps point out how important it is for us to have an edge when investing because going with a trend is not an effective strategy. I've been hesitant to invest in this present market, but I also believe it's the perfect moment to get started; what are your thoughts?
  • All these bank crisis and recession are all the signs of 2008 market crash 2.0, so my question is do I still save in the US dollar or is it okay to move all emergency and savings to precious metals?
  • @PauloNideck
    This is a video to be watched over and over again for optimal understanding.
  • @SharveshYT
    This is probably the most educational video I have ever watched about economics.
  • @NormanGhali
    If we are to survive in this economy, we need assistance right away. The ETF and stock markets are still quite volatile, just like the property market. My $370,000 portfolio is crumbling, what’s the best way to take advantage of the market?
  • @KingDavid-jj7tk
    I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation
  • @wrazo
    Who's watching in 2020? This is the best economics lesson I've ever gotten.
  • @bobbymainz1160
    More immediately than a collapse in the stock or real estate markets, inflation directly impacts people's standard of life. It is hardly surprising that the present market attitude is so negative. If we are to live in this economy, we are in dire need of assistance. ETF and stock markets are still unpredictably volatile, just like the housing market. My $370,000 portfolio has been reduced to rubble.
  • Less than 5 minues into this and I already feel so much more educated and I have finished a whole page of notes. Oddly enough this is actually fun. Why isn't school like this??
