Alan Greenspan - The Man Who Broke America | A Biography

He refused to regulate derivatives years before the crash, warned over and over and let it all happen

Greenspan was a gold standard advocate but mysteriously forgot this stance when he was in office only to remember it again after leaving office.

Hearing these guys back stories really grounds you. A lot of them were in the same spot as any of us as young men and found a way to climb the ranks.

This is the first one I watch about Greenspan. I was begging for more. I think that with the content that you add and your well-balanced narrative style I would have loved if the documentary had been a 4 one-hour episodes series. Hopefully, this was just the trailer. Thanks!

The Fed should never be wrapped up in politics, their job is to control and maintain financial stability, regardless of the political implications.

8:37 I didn't know Woody Allen and Alan Greenspan were the same person, now finally many things make sense

yo man trust me, you are gonna be one of the most succesful creators ever.

Great video, I recently read his book capitalism in America. It's a predictably cherry-picked history of the United States. He only mentions the labor movement to talk about the frequency of strikes and does not touch on the violence enacted by the state on to workers at the direction of the companies, he ignores how workers established a 40-hour work week. He often contradicts himself by stating, for example, that Rockefeller was keeping prices low while conceding that he used money to prevent competition that would have driven down prices. He pretty much skips his entire tenure at the Fed, and Praises mortgage-backed securities while ignoring the role they played in the financial collapse. However, he did at least make some good points that were refreshing to see him admit to. He called Republican claims that lowering taxes would pay off the deficit as "putting lipstick on a pig". He admitted that privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was a terrible decision that massively increased government corruption. He also admitted that the economic boom that took place after World War II had more to do with Europe and Asia not having any industry to support itself rather than any particular policy the United States was following, and points out that we immediately faced a recession once those economies rebuilt themselves after the war.

His rise corresponded with the rapid rise of government debt with also pushed up the asset bubble.

Another great video! You have to keep these coming, I know for a fact you could be putting out more content! We appreciate it! Keep it coming!

I just wanted to tell you keep going on making the videos, You did a great job. I always listen to your videos with inspiration

It's one to thing to lose a husband and a father during a Depression. But just imagine the next Depression, when millions of men have already learned 'The Deal' from social media, no longer wish to even date, and have been preparing for years to stay out here alone. This is not just the legacy of the internet and information, but of a long history of government financial 'architects' such as Greenspan, setting us up for deprivation and despair. Greenback was a genius ... till he wasn't.

I love the production of this channel, the music, redaction and video tapes. Luckily I discovered it. Please never stop creating this kind of masterpiece

It's insane to see how far this channel has come.

Alan Greenspan, the Woody Allen of the financial world.😂

The Greenspan's of America contribute towards the economic chaos we all end up suffering from and guys like Alan get to retire and live in comfort for the rest of their lives.

Need one on Bernanke as well. QE king who drove us to the tipping point of becoming the 90s Japanese economy.

I'm happy I found your channel. Incredible production values and you lay everything out in a manner that is easy to follow.

200k subs woah remember when I found this channel great work it was obvious it was going to happen with this quality of content

Woody Allen is basically Alan Greenspan. 😆

Woody Allen as Allen Greenspan …. Epic

Greenspan, 82, acknowledged under questioning that he had made a “mistake” in believing that banks, operating in their own self-interest, would do what was necessary to protect their shareholders and institutions. Greenspan called that “a flaw in the model ... that defines how the world works. Greenspan destroyed fair wages and filled the gap with credit creating a pyramid scheme that led to a massive transfer of the nation's wealth from the middle class to the very wealthy few. He explained how the nation was misled about the need for higher payroll taxes that were used to finance deficit budgets. Greenspan deceived the American people into believing that deregulation and elimination of the progressive taxes were going to be a benefit. But instead, they moved our economy into exactly the same condition that existed just before the massive financial failure that resulted in the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Your videos are insanely well made, can’t stop watching them. Just incredible. Well done 👍

This guy is amazing (I mean the guy who makes these docs) THANK YOU ! You are gifted and talented AAA+++

Love this channel. Always great in depth content.

Your videos are super underated and amazing! Please keep making these they are really educational.

Paul Volker was right. A balanced budget and frugal spending is the best way to mitigate extreme economic boom and bust cycles. Put simply, at the individual or family level, live within one's means. I'm surprised Alan Greenspan said there are many things economists dont know. I guess he was so intelligent he overlooked the danger of leverage and spending much more than what the US earns.

Wow what a documentary! It is so important to see the history of easy Al who started the financial mess we are currently in.

In 2007, I had been following Ron Paul's campaign and was reading websites outside the mainstream. I learned the stock market was headed to a collapse not seen in decades. I moved all my 401k holdings to conservative funds. I lost nothing, mine increased. Everyone I knew lost on paper 15 to 25% on paper. Bush junior's treasury secretary on his knees, literally, begging members of congress to pass TARP which failed, but went through the second time. The lesson wasn't lost on me. I ignored the wall street journal, NY times, wash post, etc. I had already junked television in the 1990s but I then realized all corporate media is corrupt.

Alan Greenspan loved himself too much. Maybe he needed his father to show him honest character and integrity. How many fathers lose there jobs and still get up.

as my interest in Finance I got hugely addicted to these videos man I watch them every morning with cup of coffee and take nodes ..I think you are using un real engine for some footages .. the animated footages and your narrating style with music makes no less than Hollywood product

I Like how this biography is done. .make More of these!! Hope you can make also about raytheon.. those weapon industry tycoons!!

You put a lot effort into your videos. Thank you for the education and viewing pleasure

Man, I’ve watched a lot of your work, really good stuff. I like your style.

EXCELLENT opening!!! 😮 As per the usual, GREAT editing overall!!!

THE FED HAS ONLY HAD JEWISH HEADS SINCE ITS CREATION. Let that sink in

Hats off to all associating members who has contributed to reach this level of Outpuf Much better than a Netflix Series. 😍

Just found your channel! Watched 3 videos in a row! Great work! Thank you👍

Your approach and execution to these videos is without peers. Simply great, amazing work. I would like to second the comment that you should give thought to doing a video on Warren Buffett. Even though I have most of the books published about him in my home, I think your talented, unique approach and style would give a much needed boost to a subject most of us are familiar with. Thanks again for providing us with content and depth that is sorely lacking in 99% of all but the best videos.

Bro. I was so happy seeing you put a new video 📹 up. Love the content bro. It's almost like Crack for me.

Do Arthur Burns next, I feel like many people will find that relevant to the events of today. Fantastic content!

Truly enjoy all of ur content, buddy, keep up the great work!

These videos are so well made. Big thumbs up!

People loved Greenspan as long as the market kept going up and up--although it was obvious that valuations were very high and credit was flowing into the market (people borrowing money to buy stocks/mutual funds as well as using traditional "margin") this has been shown to have been a predictor of troubles ahead many times I believe

I think This will be next soon one of my favorite channel.. nice content!!

Bro this was really interesting, you are a n artist🙆🙆👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🙆 This better than Netflix, it's informative and entertaining!!

Just got the popcorn ready when I say FINAiUS dropped a new docu!

Greatness in progress 💯💯💯

Keep up the good work!

I just found your channel. Wow. You are phenomenal

Great job, man. You are great at this

Cheers from Panamá 🇵🇦

Those videos are so good. I wish he would upload a little bit more frequently

love your content bro would like to see Joel Greenblatt and Micheal Burry next .

People don't realize Alan was an Ayn Rand style Sound Money/Gold Standard enthusiast. The closest thing we had to this recently was Dr. Ron Paul.

I really enjoyed this one :) your on a role 👍 this was really good 💎

Love your ability to tell great stories. I wonder why you just don't say it like it is? Overturning the Glass Steagall Act was a great example of corruption at the highest level. Also, I still don't understand why any government would need to be loaned money with interest? That interest will never be payed back unless the government borrows more. Isn't that called a contract debt slavery system? Could you make a video about the history of the Federal Reserve and where their money comes from?

Great Video. When you refer to the demand shock and inflation, all I could think of was this past year. Would love to hear your thoughts on if raising interest rates now is the right idea considering it's mostly a demand shock

You left out his admiration and connection to Ayn Rand?..that would speak volumes of what his beliefs were

Desperately waiting for the next video, being a student of finance i love ur videos

You should set up and promote a Patreon. I feel like a lot of people would support this work. Myself included

Love this channel. You're good bro.

great job as always, I would love to see a Warren Buffet video Thanks

You are a magnificent storyteller

Another Superb video! Keep up the great work

if economic plunderers have a rank... Alan Greenspan would be a 7 star general, besting all criminals

we need more of these vidoes - thank you

Great video. But I think the most extraordinary event is yet to come. The ground work has been laid. We need to ask, who really controls things? Anyways very insightful video. Some of us were concerned about things that happened and the manipulation that was carried out throughout the industry.

Another Spectacular video,thank you

I really love your videos! Awesome awesome channel!

Your documentaries are top notch.

you're talking about alan greenspan but constantly showing woody allen, was kinda weird, but good video anyway

These are great videos! Keep it up.

God bless you man

Greenspan played the low interest rate game. But we’ve been doing this for decades. Greenspan didn’t start it off

Great work. This was excellent.

Good videos as always ❤️❤️, from morocco 🇲🇦

Keep working, you are going to achieve 1 milion sub and more

Excellent work!! Great channel great content

Can`t wait to see it....

This is amazing work you did again ❤🚀❗

This amazing 🔥💯🏅🙏⚡❤❤❤⚡💯🏅🔥🔥

another masterpiece .. lovely

One of the best channel cover more of our Apes!!💎💎💎💎🖐🖐🖐🖐💯🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍 The movement is real!!

Most likely he knew the harm he was gradually doing but the adulation and riches he was getting from wall street were “too big” to turn down

Love the videos man ! Can you make a video on Henry Kravis ?

Would love to see Jack Bogle episode one day 👑🙌🏽

Do on some old school guys like JP Morgan, Vanderbilt types. Or lesser known ones like Jay Gould.

God bless you Rocky xu

Thanks!

A deeper dive on the FED is required

LOL ... back when i studied in the US in year 2000 everybody basically says alan greenspan is the US ' economic sage and the reason why america is the greatest nation on earth.

Brooksley Born called Greenspan out about reckless Wallstreet behavior prior to the 2008 financial collapse, his reaction as well as others was contempt and dismissive. Brooksley, thanks for doing your job questioning the egomaniac.

Enjoying these profiles. The Volcker one was easier to follow

Wonderful video. Thank you.

I would totally agree with non-regulated privately owned companies as far as in such economy there would be no such thing as borrowing from entities which are supplying money out of thin air. The banks would have to lend at most, only the money that hey own, with no existing (public) central bank.

I enjoyed this, but was that a picture of Woody allen? 🤔

I Have Not come across a more informed youtube Channel 1 Million subscribers Guaranteed!!!!

It is true he controlled it, I wonder what he would have done after the crash if he was still in control of the federal reserve. Great job many details I never knew about before.
