Because the United States has had the world’s biggest economy going back all the way arguably to the 1890s, that means this video kind of also went over every recession and depression in WORLD history since then. “But Mr. Beat, what about the Panic of 1792??” You know what, FORGET the Panic of 1792! (gasp!) And forget Panic at the Disco! They were an overrated band anyway. But seriously, obviously historians say there were more recessions than I mentioned.

And I’ll end this video with these thoughts. Recessions are pretty much inevitable. I don’t think we’ll ever be able to fully prevent them. In fact, we may even be in one right now and not even realize it yet. At least, certain YouTube channels have been telling us that for a while now.

And recessions suck. Like, they REALLY suck. For all of us.

Recessions mean you and I maybe not being able to afford to eat. Recessions mean more people desperate on the streets. Recessions mean more political instability, which often means more chaos…more violence….more wars. And depressions? Heck, depressions are so bad that it has historically led us to turn to FACISM as a solution. Yep, if we’re desperate enough, we’ll often put up with a ruthless dictator as long as we have access to clean drinking water.

And by golly I hope this is obvious by now. Learning about what caused past recessions is absolutely CRITICAL for not PREVENTING future recessions because remember, recessions are pretty much inevitable but learning about what caused past recessions is critical for helping us DEAL WITH and RESPOND TO future recessions. For the love of humanity, let’s stop making the same mistakes.
