How the Fed Could Fix Inflation Tomorrow (If It Wanted To) - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈After six months of blaring alarm bells the fed finally said this week that inflation might be a concern in the short to medium term.Admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it I suppose… but the economy has become used to easy money and the remaining steps to kick this addiction are going to be a lot more painful… probably.We are all used to seeing the memes about money printing and the headlines about stock shortages causing price spikes, but is it possible to actually fix this?Well regular viewers of the channel will know I hate needlessly dragging out an answer, so the simple answer is yes! The fed could fix this problem tomorrow if they really wanted to, but that type of extreme cure might very well be worse than the disease, which is the crux of the predicament we find ourselves in.A lot of people are frustrated that price inflation is happening before our eyes and the people with the power to fix this problem don’t even want to admit it exists.It just doesn’t seem to make sense but there is a really good reason they are acting like this. To find out why that is, it’s time to learn How Money Works to really understand how the fed is stuck between a rock and a hard place right now.The reality is that they will eventually need to sacrifice one of the following things, the stock market, the housing market, the government, or the dollar itself.#HyperInflation #Fed #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRLink to my vid on fed profitability - https://youtu.be/DyQ5H8DbdlgLink to my vid on retirement - https://youtu.be/Q5sF0MbfVn8Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

The number of people actually making stuff for a living is down by over a third, in the same time the workforce as a whole has GROWN by 50%. Not too long ago, this was actually seen as positive progress. Blue collar manufacturing jobs are dangerous, harder on your body, and all around seen as inferior to working in a nice air conditioned office contributing to the all encompassing “service sector”. But that’s all started to change… People have realised that manufacturing jobs can earn more than white collar work, and it’s become a desirable career all over again. Elections are being won or lost on the promise of “creating” manufacturing jobs and billions of dollars are being handed out to companies to make it happen. But the trend is not our friend, and fighting it might end up doing more harm than good. These are still incredibly difficult jobs with a very uncertain future. So why are we all suddenly yearning for the lines?Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

The Great Depression ExplainedDuring the 1920s, America was thriving. National wealth had doubled from the year 1920 to 1929, over 12 million households purchased radios, and electric refrigerators became widely available. The Ford Model T revolutionized travel, places such as motels, grocery stores, and movie theaters were now easily accessible, and large scale automobile companies created thousands of new jobs. Americans began moving into cities, people didn’t have to sew their own clothes, and citizens all across America began buying the same brands of food, listening to the same music, and doing the same dance (the Charleston). This became known as the “Roaring 20’s”Disposable incomes rose, families had more money, and everyone including line workers, janitors, the ultra rich, and even banks using consumer’s deposits started pouring money into the stock market. At a time with no Robinhood or Charles Schwab, investors had to visit brokerages in person to buy stocks.

Good CEOs Should NOT be Visionaries.Thank you Helix for sponsoring! Visit https://helixsleep.com/howmoneyworks to get up to $200 off your Helix mattress, plus two free pillows #helixsleepSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 -------The FTX Bankruptcy has shed light on a lot of bad business and investing practices both within the company and outside of it.One of the biggest issues that now seems funny in hindsight was the undue attention placed on the businesses founder and CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried or SBF as he is better known amongst recently bankrupted crypto bros.In the lead up to its eventual collapse, SBF arguably got more attention than the multi billion-dollar organisation he ran. Unsophisticated financial commentators all the way up to the worlds largest venture capital firms were captivated by the fact that he wore the same sneakers as their grandparents and drove a Toyota corolla.As the FTX story unfolds allegations are now coming to light that this geeky persona was little more than a carefully curated image and that Bankman-Fried would go so far as to intentionally act erratic with outside investors because it furthered his image as some kind of misunderstood visionary genius.But what was for some reason a big selling point for SBF and his doomed companies should really be a cautionary tale for all of us. Visionaries do not make good CEO’s and to take it a step further, good CEOs should not be visionaries.It’s easy to throw stones at the rubble of a bankrupt company like FTX, but celebrity CEO’s have become a genuine problem that might be costing us all a lot of money even if we don’t directly invest in their companies.So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why knowing who the CEO of a company is could be a really bad sign.#ceo #business #howmoneyworksCredits: Thanks to EdEd6767 for the photo at 7:19 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Exterior_of_YouTube_Space_Kings_Cross.jpgEdited By: Andrew GonzalesMusic Courtesy of: Epidemic SoundSelect Footage Courtesy of: Getty ImagesFor sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.groupFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

The Truth About "The Great Resignation" - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈You have no doubt seen news headlines and other videos about “The Great Resignation” accompanied by equally alarmists statistics like 40% of people are about to quit their job and April alone saw over 4 million people hand in their resignation.Now this news could be incredibly frightening or liberating to you depending on whether you are a stressed out business owner or soulless corporate automaton respectively, but before you read too much into it (or worse yet base major career decisions off of it) you should know the full story.So is this a serious event in the landscape of employer employee relationships? Well those of you who watch the channel regularly will know I hate dragging out an answer… so no, not really, not to vast majority of you watching anyway.Sorry to be the party pooper, but there are a few big issues that most outlets are omitting in their coverage of this story, either unknowingly or intentionally to make this all sound more spectacular than it really is.#TheGreatResignation #HowMoneyWorksFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

The prices are lower for community colleges and higher for private and for-profit colleges but the out of state four-year college is a pretty typical experience for most people taking this path.$150,000 is a lot of money for a young adult to be playing around with especially when students are taking on debt to fund the expense, but most don’t look at a college degree as a frivolous purchase, it’s an investment that will produce strong returns over a working career.The data still backs this up, the cost of a college degree has increased significantly but just by the numbers it is still a good investment with the typical college graduate earning $650,000 more than the typical high school graduate over the course of their according to Pew Research Center.But just because something is a good investment doesn’t mean that there aren’t other better investments available.#howmoneyworks #career #collegeEdited By: Andrew GonzalesMusic Courtesy of: Epidemic SoundSelect Footage Courtesy of: Getty ImagesFor sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.groupAll materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

This year has also claimed the two biggest bankruptcies in American history that didn’t occur during the GFC and if that’s got you feeling nervous, don’t worry, according to the numbers 2024 is going to be much worse.According to data from Standard & Poor’s, corporate bankruptcies in the major companies they track were up over 200% in the first half of 2023. High profile companies like wework, Vice Media and Bed Bath and Beyond all went under due to a combination of poor management, changing consumer preferences, high interest rates and bad market conditions.But what does this even mean?Even though these companies went bankrupt Vice is still making videos, you can still rent a office from WeWork, and Bed Bath and Beyond is still selling overpriced laundry hampers. Bankruptcies just aren’t what they used to be anymore and now instead of being the corporate equivalent of game over, it’s just another business strategy, which is just one of four reasons why it’s become so popular. Now you all know I hate videos from supposed experts with wide open mouths peddling some doomer, but the other three reasons why bankruptcies are on the rise are honestly worrying and they also show why business leaders just don’t take it seriously anymore. The first reason that bankruptcies are booming is because of a new investing strategy that rewards taking on as much risk as possible. Private equity is a broad classification of investing that just means putting money into companies that are not publicly listed on any securities exchange.Venture capitalists who invest in early startups are a type of private equity, all of the deals you watch get made on shark tank are private equity deals… if you give your family member a few thousand dollars to get their Etsy store going in exchange for a cut of their future profits you are technically a private equity investor, so make sure to slap that on your LinkedIn profile. But even though that is going to hurt lenders and employees, for the private equity companies that created this situation it’s going to be an amazing profit opportunity because you will never believe it, they can use bankruptcies to make even more money.So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out what’s really behind the Bankruptcy Boom.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Why Do Family Fortunes Disappear? - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈John D Rockefeller was the richest American to ever live, as well as being the founding member of the three-comma club as the worlds first billionaire.At the height of his fortune a few years before his death he was worth an estimated 1 billion dollars which may not sound like much compared to today's tech bro’s, but this was back in a time where the USA’s annual GDP was only 39.1 billion dollars.This meant that his fortune was 3% of America’s GDP. Adjusted for inflation to 2020 dollars this would give ol John D here a fortune of 450 billion dollars. Or more than Elon, Bill, and Jeff combined.But where is this fortune today?Of course John himself died almost a century ago but if there was any fortune that was going to indefinitely set up future generations surely it would be this one right?The same goes for most of these historic moguls, the fortunes of everybody from carnage, to the medici have more or less faded into total obscurity, outside of maybe a few names plastered on random buildings… (buildings that they don’t even own mind you)…Now you might think you already know the answer, oh these fortunes get split up amongst children and then children’s children and then children’s children’s children until it was spread so thin amongst latter generations that it became almost totally irrelevant.But that’s not entirely true… What’s more is that the real reason for the fall of these financial empires can tell us a lot about how money works as it has been passed down through generations and history.#Wealth #Finance #HowMoneyWorksFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

How To Make Your Own Currency & The Companies That Already Have - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈With all the talk of reckless money printing, hyperinflation and debasement of currencies around the world today, it sounds reasonable to have some kind of backup plan ready to replace regular currencies should the need arise.Now of course there are crypto “currencies” and they are great as alternative investment vehicles, but their high transaction fees and slow processing times make them extremely unsuitable to replace something like the American dollar, in whatever form it may take.This is all really frustrating because a nations currency is supposed to serve the people of the nation and it does genuinely seem like in recent years this role has mutated into bending the economy to the whim of policy makers… who may not always have the best ideas.If only YOU had access to the control panel, you could stop all of this reckless money printing (that according to some top economists and financiers, is driving us towards hyperinflation Armageddon).This begs the question, how could you create your own currency? And how could an obscure old video game give us the answer to this question.So it’s time to literally learn how money works as we look into the steps an individual or a group could take to create a currency with the same functionality and recognition as a those created by governments around the world.So to get started we need to properly understand what a currency must do, to be a viable replacement for lets say the US dollar.#Currency #Hyperinflation #HowMoneyWorksMusic by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

How EVE Online's Massive Virtual Wars Are Financed - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈eve online, (a massive multiplayer online spaceship game) is probably best know for two things.Making headlines about it’s massive in game conflicts involving tens of thousands of players and it’s incredibly realistic in game financial system which can make loosing a virtual spaceship just as consequential as loosing a phone or a car in the real world.Countless magazines, and even much more successful YouTube channels have talked about these two factors individually, but where I think they get really interesting is when they merge together.For a game about spaceships set 21,000 years in the future, EVE is surprisingly realistic, and that realism extends to these massive wars in the sense that they are expensive. The in game currency called ISK has an approximate exchange rate of about $6 per billion in game isk. Although it must be mentioned that trading this in game currency directly back or forth for real life money is actually against the rules of the game for now at least and will get you banned.Even still, this shows that in game assets have a very tangible real world value on the grey market, so when you see headlines about trillions of ISK been lost in these epic battles it gives you an idea of just how expensive it can be to wage entire wars in EVE Online.But this all begs a bigger question…Who or what funds these wars?With a price tag of hundreds of thousands of real world dollars and nothing but virtual space pride in return, it doesn’t sound like a very good deal… Right?Well, it’s time to learn how space money works, if you enjoy this video please consider liking and subscribing for new video’s like this one made every week.Ok so there are three really interesting and unique ways these major wars have been funded over the past 2 decades that this game has existed. But let’s start with the most basic one.#EVEOnline #EconomyOfEVE #HowMoneyWorksMusic by Epidemic Sound & Eve Online Original SoundtrackSign Up Link (if you want to try out the game) - https://www.eveonline.com/signup?invc=ef33cafb-0aa2-4051-9f03-55dc800247c2(This link gives both you and I rewards in the game)Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Why EVE Onlines Market System Might Be Too Efficient For its Own Good - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈The third and final installment in my series on the Financial System of EVE Online.So far in this series we have already explored how the massive wars you hear about in gaming magazines are funded using everything from in game casinos to war bonds.We have also explored how the game has it’s very own tax havens and how they were causing the same kind of issues that tax havens do in the real world.EVE Online’s economy is so large and complex that it truly does rival some small nations, what’s more than that is that it’s system are so realistic that they can genuinely be used to model real world economic systems far more effectively than even the most expensive models used by governments, universities and financial institutions.Part of this is by design. But it may not all be for the best.So its time to learn how money works, and see how the market system in EVE online might have been too well designed for it’s own good.In an interview with the founder and CEO of EVE online, it was revealed that the Marketplace in eve, (where buyers and sellers will trade items) was actually copied off the Nasdaq.You see way back in 2002 when this game was first being developed the creators knew that enabling free and effective trade between players would be key for making the game truly immersive, as opposed to similar games at the time, that relied primarily on trading with non-player-controlled characters that would offer fixed per-determined prices.So they needed to develop a system to make this happen.#EVEOnline #Finance #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Part 1 - https://youtu.be/m6j_UsGJnkQPart 2 - https://youtu.be/2t25bsqlTM8Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRMusic by Epidemic Sound & Eve Online Original SoundtrackSign Up Link (if you want to try out the game) - https://www.eveonline.com/signup?invc=ef33cafb-0aa2-4051-9f03-55dc800247c2(This link gives both you and I rewards in the game)Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
