You can directly support Crash Course at https://www.patreon.com/crashcourse Subscribe for as little as $0 to keep up with everything we're doing. Free is nice, but if you can afford to pay a little every month, it really helps us to continue producing this content. In which John Green teaches you about the Great Depression. So, everybody knows that the Great Depression started with the stock market crash in 1929, right? Not exactly. The Depression happened after the stock market crash, but wasn't caused by the crash. John will teach you about how the depression started, what Herbert Hoover tried to do to fix it, and why those efforts failed.

Keynesian socialist leftist apologist you are, Mr. Green.
We are one the verge of another crisis, and once again, the economically ignorant masses will blame the crisis on Trump, like they did onto Hoover in '29. Even though it was a mix of both Republican and Democratic president's fault in the past few decades that caused the crisis. Then, the magic angel Gabriel in the masses view (FDR back then), will appear and with a bunch of socialist policies and central bank's backing, will create a phony recovery that funded and created by more debt and stealing wealth from places where actual wealth still exists, and socialism/big government will be praised, while they will blame and mock capitalism. -

This is an incredibly broad topic, and you did an amazing job shrinking it down to the bare bones. One of your best videos yet. Thanks team!

Hi

glib John Greene with a dose of true economic idiocy... please go back to non-economic theories about non-economic events... to seriously cite Keynesian economics as the theoretical framework of successful international financial operations is breathtaking in its stupidity... please try to educate yourself on the work of Mises Institute and the School of Austrian Economics... the PRIVATELY OWNED "Federal Reserve" -- along with the network of central banks throughout the Western economies -- is the engine of globalist monopoly capitalism and, ultimately, the artificially created cycles of expansion and contraction that keep the rich enriched and getting richer and the rest of us progressively impoverished... the system has long been rigged, John , and we the people must wrest it back for our collective sakes... your shallow and misinformed analysis does all of us a great disservice...

If the Great Depression had lasted one century, it would have been Great for the planet.

What caused the Great Depression? Fractional reserve banking. That's it. No other analysis is needed. Those banks went out of business because they were mismanaged and made improper loans because they weren't tied to the gold standard. Do yourself a favor and read "The Creature from Jekyll Island".

The reason this dude failed as a president is because he held too many leftist views.

This haircut looks good on you!

Was doing great until mid way threw. I love you John but I wish you would approach your topics with far less bias... Its unfortunate because most people will never care enough to see the other political spectrum due to the how the education system is borderline political brainwashing at this point. Anyways what I am trying to say is that I appreciate your work on theses videos but it is far more enjoyable when you do not show your obvious and sometimes a tad unfounded political options and inject them into your lessons as if they are not opinions but simply facts since much of your audience does not already know the topic and would likely tend to absorb the msg as if its not political opinion but simply the way of things. -Best wishes,

So hoover wasn't experienced in government so we can grill him while half of America cheers for our inexperienced president-elect... interesting.
-
it would of never happened if Hoover didn't fiddled with the economy that much.
-
Haha, loled at the part when he said that economists try to prevent the great depression from happening ever again. Look it up, these economical crysis are deliberately made to increase the wealth of the NWO elites.
