At the end of the video you sort of promised a next video on how the Fed managed to keep inflation low (until 2016 of course). I would love to have that explained to us by you. That new video could also point out where in time the recipees didn’t work anymore. Thank you, Colin.
Thank you for this video. I am trying to educate myself about all things Macro and was always wondering what people were talking about when they would say "The Fed is increasing its balance sheet". This helps explain that statement.
I found this very informative by providing a simple, yet meaningful, baseline understanding of the Federal Reserve. I am looking forward to future presentations from you. Thanks for sharing this.
You really ought to clarify that we are supposed to be anxiously awaiting what we will learn in class. I was led to believe there would be a followup video, and the disappointment I'm feeling is somewhat overwhelming.
Bank failures happen when banks overlend with inadequate reserves, in other words they're greedy and and have usually cheated by borrowing short and lending long, and probably many other scams.
The only problem I have is with the way you portrayed the federal reserve as a government entity during segments of the video. The fact that it is a private entity makes all the difference in the world. Being that new money gets created as a debt to taxpayers and for profit to private groups rather than being created debt free for a neutral means of exchange for goods and services. We need to nationalize the federal reserve and keep all the profits from the loans as tax revenue and national prosperity. Money creation should be a benefit to everyone as equally as possible. No more subsidy to the wealthy in the form of compounding interest on loans made from imagination.
It's literally the central bank. "There is a common misconception that the Federal Reserve System is privately owned. In fact, it combines public and private characteristics: The central governing board of the FRS is an agency of the federal government and reports to Congress. The Federal Reserve Banks that it oversees are set up like private corporations." Investopedia entry
all this stuff is cool as long as you dont store your wealth in govt money. let other people pay taxes and inflation, i prefer to make money from inflation.
THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT RUN THE FEDERAL RESERVE. JP Morgan the company is still a private bank running the federal Reserve. You not mentioning this FACT shows you're pulling the wool over your students eyes. Fiat currency always returns to its intrinsic value, zero.-Voltaire
Best explanation of the FED balance sheet and its mechanics - for laymen - I’ve found. Thank you Colin.
