I'm quite sure that All at Once is here. Spiritually, we were all put here at this unique time for a critical reason. When "it" smacks you in the face, please do the right thing. It's important...
I know at some point a bull market ends and a bear begins, it goes on and on....I have a 7 figure ballpark goal and I intend spreading across maybe 50k - 150k on plummeting stocks, my question is how can I know when a market bottom has been reached?
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 14.3%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an advisor.
I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with the popularly ‘’Amber Kay Wright” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
She appears to be a true authority in her profession with over two decades of experience. I looked her up on the internet and skimmed through her site, very professional. already sent her an inquiry hoping for a response soon.
What do you do with an asset you’re dumping? You transact it. This is like saying a stock is good because it has high volumes. Only time will tell if the people receiving the dollars got a bargain or a lemon.
As it should be ss the Fed hasn't finished. They would better not fight the Central Banks nor dumping the Treasury unless they're on something's evil which now we know they were. So good riddance Globalization we will take our country back. You're free to join BRICS jungle
Hanke never mentioned Saudi Arabia signed a 50 year agreement to supply oil to the $10,000,000,000 oil refinery Saudi Arabia is paying for in China! Is Saudi paying for and building a refinery in the USA? Did Saudi Arabia sign a 50 year agreement to supply oil to the USA ? No NO and NO so it appears they are moving East! None of these people ever bring up the fact that Saudi is paying for and agreeing to supply a massive refinery in China!
Then what the heck backs the dollar Mr. Hanke? And for the past 50 years? Foreign countries must buy petrodollars before they buy oil. Are we still using the North Atlantic Colonial dollars?
Now I understand why Latin Am.merica lives in constant HYPERINFLATION, I lived it once there now here? Many are not thankful for the fact that we lived in poverty or constant rat race for little currency, but now a little of the petro- Dollar medicine is here. In my former Country the Dollar is higher than ever seen & people is having to travel to border countries to transact specially in Real Estate.
wont happen, I live in a brics country, this is a hoax study the eurodollar market and you'll understand why the dollar will be the last currency to fall
Hanke is wrong about the Saudi/US petrodollar deal negotiated between Henry Kissinger and the Saudi King that specified that all Saudi crude sales would be denominated in US$ in return for US military protection of the Saudi Kingdom.
I’m LOST ! I would LOVE to see the good professor and Andy Schectman on this show ! This is contrary to ALL other guests who talk about how Nixon sent Kissinger to Saudi Arabia to cut a 50 year contract to sell oil ONLY in dollars for US military protection …

Bring this Professor on with Andy Schectman from Miles Franklin ! That would be the interview of the century ! Andy explains the BRETTON WOODS AGREEMENT and the 1971 decoupling of gold from the US dollar , and Kissinger to Saudi to have their King agree to sell all oil in US dollars for US military protection …
A.W. Phillips's paper, published in 1958, was "The Relation Between Unemployment and the Rate of Change of Money Wage Rates in the United Kingdom, 1861-1957." It didn't relate to consumer price inflation.
BRICS are preparing a CBDC called mBridge for cross border payments. Currently Dollar reserves worldwide stand at 58%, a 25 year low.Once alternative financial systems are activated, the dollar will be toast and the US will face hyperinflation.
You're the only person who challenge the professor with stats of US$ - only 58% of the dollar worldwide. 😂👍👍 The prof quoted at 80%. The US$ value has been declining bcos more dollars are issued digitally everyday (they don't print more dollars now) causing rapid rising inflation in the domestic mkt. Practically everything is imported fr China. The US manufacturing is decimated. This cause the US national debt to rise at $1 trillion every 100 days! (mostly military overspending). Currently, the national debt is $35 trillion and rising. The US needs the war economy to survive and ensure global hegemony. That's why military spending will NEVER cut back. Petro dollar is designed to ensure US$ is used as the global currency in oil transactions, thus making the US$ as the defacto world's reserve currency. With this exorbitant privilege to issue the dollar without limit, the US weaponized the dollar to sanction other countries at will, together with the SWIFT banking system. Not only that, restrict technology export such as Chip semiconductor, impose tariffs, and weaponize trade wars. The last straw, frozen $280 billion of Russian sovereign funds and stole their fund, so far $50 billion. All these cause the BRICS and other countries to dedollarize and trade in their local currency or Chinese yuan (to buy imports fr China). So, the Petro Dollar agreement is real, not fictional. Saudi Arabia is reacting to the realities of geopolitics, thus ending mandatory oil transactions in dollar. SA needs to protect their economic interest. China does not want the Yuan to be the reserve currency or to replace the US$ as a reserve currency.Why? Bcos they want to ensure the global trade can continue to buy China's imports at low prices. If the yuan currency rose, it makes exports to other countries expensive. This leads to higher global inflation bcos China is the world's manufacturing hub, exporting to every country. Currently rising inflation is confined to the US and the inflation is exported by US to other countries as more dollars are issued and the Fed raises interest rate to curb rising inflation. Why? Bcos too much money chasing too few imported goods. That's why foreign currency becomes weaker against US$. And, it appears US$ is stronger. So, to counter this, dedolarization is happening slowly and systematically to reduce massive systemic global economic impacts and hard landings. To verify higher inflation in US, all you need to do is to check the consumer prices of Asian countries (especially China) against US domestic prices.
Great info your guest has a wealth of knowledge. The state where I live in in Australia is going to introduce 50 cent bus fares a huge reduction from the current price. Basically so they can get reelected. Exactly what your guest was saying. Where will this money come from. They will have to increase taxes to make this happen.
Thank you David. I just began learning about the financial system 2yrs ago because of bitcoin.

Thank you so much
I disagree on UBI. I think start with $3,000 per year per person under age 65 (including children) paid by federal government deficit spending (money printing) just like how we pay for military/wars/medicare. Try it for 10 yrs and then decide if it was a good idea or not. Currently its not fair to younger people when age 65+ gets social security of $20,000+ per year when they only put a tiny fraction of that into the system compared to what they draw out in benefits over the 20+ yrs a 65 yr old has left on average. Also medicare should be for all ages, not just age 65+. The system is slanted to benefit the 65+ group.
What does steve hanke think about the new texas stock exchange? Is it good to decentralize the exchanges? Is texas the new lone star wallstreet? Is this a good idea with the power grid issues in texas? Is this like extending an olive branch to a latina segment of potential investors in a regional area long overlooked?
petro doller was very much in vogue, now we have a chance to use local money for crude oil and there is no chance of sanctions by USA. Don't worry Mister , you live to see then you will see the doller will surely sink slowly but surely.
With all due respect it’s not socialism in California, it’s a anarchy. I grew up in socialism , you have to work hard in order to get anything . So please, don’t mix up anarchy and socialism. 17:06
Thank you, Prof Hanke you did not finish your sentence about where your money goes when donate to charity? my opinion is that it goes into peoples pockets, and not properly allocated to where you think. He passed... b+ less stuttering and he could reach an A :)
UBI transfers greater power to a central government, while also creating a moral hazard by de incentivizing work and innovation. This argument is mental..
The minimum wage exist in third world countries since, companies would pays less for that job if they could, and people with 2 or 3 jobs could not pay its bills... wait a second
Why was countries around the globe using the US dollar to buy petroleum from Saudi Arabia if it wasn't necessary , there was no agreemeent. I didn't hear this explanation, I must have missed that part of the conversation.
@norma..., it is known as the Petro dollar bcos oil transactions (imports and exports) can only be made in US$. All countries need oil to produce power (electricity) for economic development bcos oil is required for manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and basic necessities (cooking, heating, cooling, run appliances, etc.). Bcos US$ is the defacto world's reserve currency to buy oil, it allows US$ exorbitant privilege to issue US$ without limit and back by nothing. (The US abolished the gold std in1971 and started Petro dollar in 1974). Since Saudi Arabia is the only major oil seller, all countries are forced to use the US$ to buy oil. So, it is necessary to use US$ to buy oil fr SA or OPEC countries. It becomes a monopoly. There is definitely a long term agreement for SA to commit oil purchases in US$ only.
Hemke destroys his own credibility when he doubts the resolves of Russia n the Brics to dedollarize. Admittedly, every reserve has its time limit n BRICS so happens to be the catalyse. Have u not heard of the unwritten law or convention?😂
Yup, the SA had to arrange currency swap to Yuan. And backing it up with gold when they got not enough gold sounds like brilliant ideas. The Chinese will never allow countries to buy China mining gold. Sounds like a very peaceful alliance
@@curiositycloset2359 That is now, not necessarily tomorrow and BRICs isn't necessarily a complete dedollarization agreement, but an alternative dollar system away from US controls. In theory, the reserves of dollars in BRICs can be its own financial system. This limits the financial weaponization from the US by making it an intimidating factor to sanction a separate financial system that has a lot of dollar reserves. Mr. Hanke believes in his own delusions based in disinformation that China is dedollarizing which he has no evidence of being the motive.
You don't need to be an expert to know when petroleum are now being allowed to be done is other currencies (before that only in USD and Gadaffi was killed for trying to change that and the whole world knows that), the demand for USD will slowly but surely diminish. Not only petroleum, countries are now having the options to trade with currency of its choice, unlike previously most choose to use USD because of SWIFT system monopolised by USA. USD won't collapse not immediate because there are still many loans made by world bank and IMF using USD but its strength will significantly weaken. It is good for all nations.
It's all bullsh*t. I want to believe that Gadaffi story too, but I think it's bullsh*t. The dollar has power because it buys things people/countries want, PERIOD. End of story. No conspircacy. No threats.
They are not speaking of money being transacted directly between countries, outside of swift. Ofc USD is absolutely domineering in swift transactions and it will be like that forever. Just that more and more countries will start using it less. China and Russia have come from transacting only in USD to not using it at all. China completely stopped paying for Saudi oil in USD. Those things are huge. This guy is talking of formalities that are very misleading. And he's consciously using data that's not all encompassing.
Didn't matter when 80% of China's external debts are in dollars. I never thought Xi is kind of nasty player, by integrating too deep too soon with Russia
There was never any petrodollar agreements? So, it's all been a myth then. What a news! The USD value and the sale of treasury should remained unchanged then.
The G7 industrial powerhouse for example the car market of the US plus EU is still larger than China. The Treasury market has been shrunk and now that China is out to align w the Gulf, the next pivot will be much clear cut without the friendnemies hijack.
The reason the Philips Curve became nonsense is because the money supply system changed in the 1970s. In 1972, Nixon took us off the gold standard. As unemployment increases, spending should contract which should lower inflation. This would have happened during the pandemic except the government unleashed a massive stimulus to pay people more than they otherwise would have received. Of course the government can spend unlimited amounts of money because there is no longer a pesky connection to gold. This guy always says it's the Money Supply and I guess that's the problem with Philips Curve now... It's the Money Supply.
As soon as rates go down in this cycle, money will flow from the dollar to other sources of equal or superior yield.....from sources of equal or superior economies. The dollar is the cart. The US economy is the horse. There is no economic support of the dollar. Only fiscal spending support. The horse is weakening. China, Switzerland, India, Brazil, is where money will flow. And the dollar will slowly fade. China produces goods and technology. The US produces debt.
True, but he forgets that when people have more income, they will spend it. Also, many young people have useless degrees and now are forced to take those minimum jobs. Then, those fast food corporations are making huge profits and their managements' interest is only to raise their stock price which in turn increases only their incomes and the gap widens ever more. Also, had the private equity companies and most corporations not bought out companies and outsourced the good jobs to low income countries, our economies would be in better shape.
Yep but its because this way governments choose winners and losers. For minimum wage the winners are the most efficient workers and the losers are inefficient workers. But everyone is worse off when full employment is not reached. Freakonomics had a podcast on minimum wage a few years ago.
My favorite part is how they leave out the fact that the min wage policy was originally intended to put racial minorities into poverty (out of work) and prevent immigration.
So , the pound stopped being the reserve currency because colonialism collapsed? But isn't it what happened to the French before. And the Romans. And basically all empires in history. But it is different for the US? People use USD not because there are forced to? Not because there are military bases in all of the G7 countries?. In Israël ( by proxy ) and Japan? Nothing to do with the US in Irak now having morphed into conflicts with the Houthis? Sure, Sensei Hanke. Good night and sweet dreams.
😂😂😂😂👍👍👍 US$ is back up by nothing. Gold std back up was abolished in 1971 by Pres Nixon bcos of military over spending in Vietnam War. Then in1974, setup Petro Dollar with Saudi Arabia bcos there was nothing to backup US$. It is just a piece of paper based on trust fr US govt and Petro Dollar imposed. Then over 800 military bases established worldwide to enforce US$ hegemony and the war economy was in place since day one from WWII over 70 yrs. That's why the national debt is rising rapidly at $1 trillion ($1,000 billion) every 100 days from $34.75 trillion. Every day is an overspending.
Most enjoyable listening to people who know what they're talking about! Trouble is, the politicians don't always take economists' advice. And yes, he passed!
It’s easy to take out the king with out the guards and the guards 💂 are all leaving 😂the crown 👑 is for the taking🎉 the king may survive the king mite remain as king but it won’t be the worlds 🤴 king
10:08 i love the brexit example as the professor is so delusional with his mental gymnastics. uk left the eu (not usa) and it's use of euros fells and use of dollars jumped from 35% to 55%. which exactly proves the point. Saudi leaving usa, will lead to a dump in usa dollars and jump in other currencies.
6:12 😂 it is the worst example. He made peace absolutely right that there’s always was a dominant currency and history shows that it’s occasionally being overthrown . That means the dollar is f@ckt😂😂
This is the thing, Capitalism is a system where free market in the form of businesses decide by competition. That competition sets cultural standards of how much one business charges over the over which sets a fair price. Now Capitalism applies to consumers or people buying things. It doesn’t necessarily extend itself to employee wages being set the in similar way right? Because the problem is the employees don’t own a part of the business therefore they dont really have a say and are working for the need of working. That’s where things break down potential for the worse right? Capitalism also need guardrails as when their collusion, price fixing, then capitalism starts to fail or rather go off the rails. So point is in summary that I think there needs to be legislative regulation when it comes to employee pay but it should depend what class of business the employee works for such as an established corporate entity who is billions of dollars a year enterprise or a small village shop where the owners might not be able to handle a high minimum wage but there are other incentives to working for the village shop such as a mentorship and experience. Just doing some out-loud critical thinking.
Trump said he would charge tariffs to other countries that do the same to us and in return start a negotiation for free trade either everyone tariff each other or no tariffs I love how everyone twists words shouldn’t we treat other countries how they treat us? I don’t care I rather tariff because I support mainly America made when I can
Eventually, advanced economies will have to implement universal basic income (UBI). Think of it as taxing the robots doing the work instead of taxing workers. Is that so bad? People can spend their time making extra money, studying whatever they like, etc. Of course there will be lazy people just hanging about, but there is now already. Think Paris Hilton. If people want to waste their lives, it's on them.
El contrar, wages stayed pretty stagnant during the late 70s and 80s. The wages didn't start picking up in a big way until the 90s in my experience. There was a big mismatch between wages and the cost of living. Power too heavily weighted to business interest is also not good for everyone. There is a balance.
Problem with flat tax is that it only gets levied on 'income' and not 'assets' such as equities, options, business income held in trust, etc. Income earners pay tax. Rich people would not.
This guy is part of the establishment in USA, by being a professor at a reputable institution for education. If he indicated any negative FUTURE outlook he would lose his tenure, family privileges, future book sales, and his reputation
You are full of BS when you said the Saudi's mismanaged the money they acquired from oil sales. The Saudi government started developing the country after acquiring the money from oil sales.
LMAO! Does Mr. Hanke know the difference between an informal deal and a formal deal? You know, like NATO countries are supposed to spend a minimum amount on military spending but informally the US and NATO members accept that the US does most of the spending and the European countries knowingly ignore the minimum standard? Petro-dollar is an informal deal, not a formal deal; that the US buys cheap Saudi oil in exchange for military protection and intelligence sharing. They were not in any official alliance like the way Israel and the US are today. Does Mr. Hanke know what "quid pro quo" is? Does he think that the dollar reserve currency system is a formal or informal agreement? Do you understand, Mr. Hanke, or do you need to go back to school to learn global politics? This is not your field, dude. Go back to preaching the mathematically perfect economy or whatever mumbo jumbo that typical economist teach these days.

Gold as a reserve of countries federal banks have increased significantly.
UBI... Have we not learned anything since the stimulus checks?! This is akin to a fish devouring itself at the tail.
This is a great example of what’s called, gaslighting the public.
if there was no petrodollar agreement then what ended on the 9th lol😂😂😂
You are right. Honeymoon is over too..

Never been a petrodollar agreement, then why has he and all the mainstream media been reporting it for 50 years! Lol

I think start with $3,000 per year per person under age 65 (including children) paid by federal government deficit spending (money printing) just like how we pay for military/wars/medicare. Try it for 10 yrs and then decide if it was a good idea or not. Currently its not fair to younger people when age 65+ gets social security of $20,000+ per year when they only put a tiny fraction of that into the system compared to what they draw out in benefits over the 20+ yrs a 65 yr old has left on average. Also medicare should be for all ages, not just age 65+. The system is slanted to benefit the 65+ group.
What does steve hanke think about the new texas stock exchange? Is it good to decentralize the exchanges? Is texas the new lone star wallstreet?
Is this a good idea with the power grid issues in texas? Is this like extending an olive branch to a latina segment of potential investors in a regional area long overlooked?

I am here for the comments. My take is that there may be greater forces at play which one may not be aware of immediately.
Do FIAT currencies last for a few centuries?
No petrodollars like how Biden doesn’t have dementia 😂
petro doller was very much in vogue, now we have a chance to use local money for crude oil and there is no chance of sanctions by USA. Don't worry Mister , you live to see then you will see the doller will surely sink slowly but surely.
CO2 is NOT pollution. It is essential for life. UBI is to keep people from having families. It’s all about depopulation.
With all due respect it’s not socialism in California, it’s a anarchy. I grew up in socialism , you have to work hard in order to get anything . So please, don’t mix up anarchy and socialism. 17:06
The assumption is market is free. However, is the market truly free?
The dollar is only king against other failing fiat currencies, certainly not against REAL money… physical Gold.
Thank you, Prof Hanke you did not finish your sentence about where your money goes when donate to charity? my opinion is that it goes into peoples pockets, and not properly allocated to where you think. He passed... b+ less stuttering and he could reach an A :)
UBI transfers greater power to a central government, while also creating a moral hazard by de incentivizing work and innovation. This argument is mental..
Spent so long on the petro dollar that wasn’t I got bored. Not you normal standard Favid
The minimum wage exist in third world countries since, companies would pays less for that job if they could, and people with 2 or 3 jobs could not pay its bills... wait a second
Even if Mallei dollarizes, he still wouldn't be able to control the money supply.

Why was countries around the globe using the US dollar to buy petroleum from Saudi Arabia if it wasn't necessary , there was no agreemeent. I didn't hear this explanation, I must have missed that part of the conversation.
@norma..., it is known as the Petro dollar bcos oil transactions (imports and exports) can only be made in US$. All countries need oil to produce power (electricity) for economic development bcos oil is required for manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and basic necessities (cooking, heating, cooling, run appliances, etc.). Bcos US$ is the defacto world's reserve currency to buy oil, it allows US$ exorbitant privilege to issue US$ without limit and back by nothing. (The US abolished the gold std in1971 and started Petro dollar in 1974). Since Saudi Arabia is the only major oil seller, all countries are forced to use the US$ to buy oil. So, it is necessary to use US$ to buy oil fr SA or OPEC countries. It becomes a monopoly. There is definitely a long term agreement for SA to commit oil purchases in US$ only.
Love this guy ! ✌️👌

Hemke destroys his own credibility when he doubts the resolves of Russia n the Brics to dedollarize. Admittedly, every reserve has its time limit n BRICS so happens to be the catalyse. Have u not heard of the unwritten law or convention?😂
It requires far more than resolve,, they do not possess the resources,, not even close.. nor does CCP,, what a joke
Point is, the only currency, in enough numbers, to be able to be used in so many transactions, is the dollar. Its the liquidity
Yup, the SA had to arrange currency swap to Yuan. And backing it up with gold when they got not enough gold sounds like brilliant ideas. The Chinese will never allow countries to buy China mining gold. Sounds like a very peaceful alliance
@@curiositycloset2359 That is now, not necessarily tomorrow and BRICs isn't necessarily a complete dedollarization agreement, but an alternative dollar system away from US controls. In theory, the reserves of dollars in BRICs can be its own financial system. This limits the financial weaponization from the US by making it an intimidating factor to sanction a separate financial system that has a lot of dollar reserves. Mr. Hanke believes in his own delusions based in disinformation that China is dedollarizing which he has no evidence of being the motive.
You don't need to be an expert to know when petroleum are now being allowed to be done is other currencies (before that only in USD and Gadaffi was killed for trying to change that and the whole world knows that), the demand for USD will slowly but surely diminish. Not only petroleum, countries are now having the options to trade with currency of its choice, unlike previously most choose to use USD because of SWIFT system monopolised by USA. USD won't collapse not immediate because there are still many loans made by world bank and IMF using USD but its strength will significantly weaken. It is good for all nations.
It's all bullsh*t.
I want to believe that Gadaffi story too, but I think it's bullsh*t.
The dollar has power because it buys things people/countries want, PERIOD. End of story.
No conspircacy.
No threats.
They are not speaking of money being transacted directly between countries, outside of swift.
Ofc USD is absolutely domineering in swift transactions and it will be like that forever. Just that more and more countries will start using it less.
China and Russia have come from transacting only in USD to not using it at all. China completely stopped paying for Saudi oil in USD. Those things are huge.
This guy is talking of formalities that are very misleading. And he's consciously using data that's not all encompassing.
Didn't matter when 80% of China's external debts are in dollars. I never thought Xi is kind of nasty player, by integrating too deep too soon with Russia
Sadam tried selling oil in Euro, and Gaddafi tried selling it in Gold, and we know what happened to both of them.
But times changes,powers are rising and falling all the time
@@yelenailina6475 ; As far as America is concerned nothing has changed and it wants to stick to the old world order
Because of the SA agreement. You still don't understand the triangle relationship. You're hooked w amateurs hearsay
@@ssuwandi3240: Can you elanorate yourc comment.
RIP Sadam & Gaddafi.
There was never any petrodollar agreements?
So, it's all been a myth then.
What a news! The USD value and the sale of treasury should remained unchanged then.
😂😂
The G7 industrial powerhouse for example the car market of the US plus EU is still larger than China. The Treasury market has been shrunk and now that China is out to align w the Gulf, the next pivot will be much clear cut without the friendnemies hijack.
Yeah bro we're sweet 👍🤪

The reason the Philips Curve became nonsense is because the money supply system changed in the 1970s. In 1972, Nixon took us off the gold standard. As unemployment increases, spending should contract which should lower inflation. This would have happened during the pandemic except the government unleashed a massive stimulus to pay people more than they otherwise would have received. Of course the government can spend unlimited amounts of money because there is no longer a pesky connection to gold. This guy always says it's the Money Supply and I guess that's the problem with Philips Curve now... It's the Money Supply.
the end of the petrol dollar is the beginning of the next gold standard
As soon as rates go down in this cycle, money will flow from the dollar to other sources of equal or superior yield.....from sources of equal or superior economies. The dollar is the cart. The US economy is the horse.
There is no economic support of the dollar. Only fiscal spending support. The horse is weakening.
China, Switzerland, India, Brazil, is where money will flow. And the dollar will slowly fade.
China produces goods and technology. The US produces debt.
True, but he forgets that when people have more income, they will spend it. Also, many young people have useless degrees and now are forced to take those minimum jobs. Then, those fast food corporations are making huge profits and their managements' interest is only to raise their stock price which in turn increases only their incomes and the gap widens ever more. Also, had the private equity companies and most corporations not bought out companies and outsourced the good jobs to low income countries, our economies would be in better shape.
Steve smiling more than normal today
Smiling without 'Smiley Face' . . . real substance
I can't believe after all these years of disproving minimum wage laws we're still having this conversation.
Yep but its because this way governments choose winners and losers. For minimum wage the winners are the most efficient workers and the losers are inefficient workers. But everyone is worse off when full employment is not reached. Freakonomics had a podcast on minimum wage a few years ago.
😅
They don't care that minimum wage is bad. They know that some people are willing to work for the minimum wage.
My favorite part is how they leave out the fact that the min wage policy was originally intended to put racial minorities into poverty (out of work) and prevent immigration.

So , the pound stopped being the reserve currency because colonialism collapsed?
But isn't it what happened to the French before. And the Romans. And basically all empires in history.
But it is different for the US?
People use USD not because there are forced to?
Not because there are military bases in all of the G7 countries?. In Israël ( by proxy ) and Japan? Nothing to do with the US in Irak now having morphed into conflicts with the Houthis?
Sure, Sensei Hanke. Good night and sweet dreams.
😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
US$ is back up by nothing. Gold std back up was abolished in 1971 by Pres Nixon bcos of military over spending in Vietnam War. Then in1974, setup Petro Dollar with Saudi Arabia bcos there was nothing to backup US$. It is just a piece of paper based on trust fr US govt and Petro Dollar imposed. Then over 800 military bases established worldwide to enforce US$ hegemony and the war economy was in place since day one from WWII over 70 yrs. That's why the national debt is rising rapidly at $1 trillion ($1,000 billion) every 100 days from $34.75 trillion. Every day is an overspending.
Is very sad to all of us,using US dollars😢
So glad you had him back!! Thank you...

10:08 i love the brexit example as the professor is so delusional with his mental gymnastics.
uk left the eu (not usa) and it's use of euros fells and use of dollars jumped from 35% to 55%.
which exactly proves the point.
Saudi leaving usa, will lead to a dump in usa dollars and jump in other currencies.

This is the thing, Capitalism is a system where free market in the form of businesses decide by competition. That competition sets cultural standards of how much one business charges over the over which sets a fair price. Now Capitalism applies to consumers or people buying things. It doesn’t necessarily extend itself to employee wages being set the in similar way right? Because the problem is the employees don’t own a part of the business therefore they dont really have a say and are working for the need of working. That’s where things break down potential for the worse right? Capitalism also need guardrails as when their collusion, price fixing, then capitalism starts to fail or rather go off the rails. So point is in summary that I think there needs to be legislative regulation when it comes to employee pay but it should depend what class of business the employee works for such as an established corporate entity who is billions of dollars a year enterprise or a small village shop where the owners might not be able to handle a high minimum wage but there are other incentives to working for the village shop such as a mentorship and experience. Just doing some out-loud critical thinking.

Trump said he would charge tariffs to other countries that do the same to us and in return start a negotiation for free trade either everyone tariff each other or no tariffs I love how everyone twists words shouldn’t we treat other countries how they treat us?

Eventually, advanced economies will have to implement universal basic income (UBI). Think of it as taxing the robots doing the work instead of taxing workers. Is that so bad? People can spend their time making extra money, studying whatever they like, etc. Of course there will be lazy people just hanging about, but there is now already. Think Paris Hilton. If people want to waste their lives, it's on them.
They have UBI in Cuba but there's nothing to buy with the money and what is available cost more than the average person can afford
El contrar, wages stayed pretty stagnant during the late 70s and 80s. The wages didn't start picking up in a big way until the 90s in my experience. There was a big mismatch between wages and the cost of living. Power too heavily weighted to business interest is also not good for everyone. There is a balance.
Problem with flat tax is that it only gets levied on 'income' and not 'assets' such as equities, options, business income held in trust, etc. Income earners pay tax. Rich people would not.

You are full of BS when you said the Saudi's mismanaged the money they acquired from oil sales. The Saudi government started developing the country after acquiring the money from oil sales.
Fully believe into AMS58V and the comeback for IOTA, they are promosing and the technology is just next level
LMAO! Does Mr. Hanke know the difference between an informal deal and a formal deal? You know, like NATO countries are supposed to spend a minimum amount on military spending but informally the US and NATO members accept that the US does most of the spending and the European countries knowingly ignore the minimum standard? Petro-dollar is an informal deal, not a formal deal; that the US buys cheap Saudi oil in exchange for military protection and intelligence sharing. They were not in any official alliance like the way Israel and the US are today. Does Mr. Hanke know what "quid pro quo" is? Does he think that the dollar reserve currency system is a formal or informal agreement? Do you understand, Mr. Hanke, or do you need to go back to school to learn global politics? This is not your field, dude. Go back to preaching the mathematically perfect economy or whatever mumbo jumbo that typical economist teach these days.
