Are Economic Crises and Crashes Inevitable?

  • Résumé

  • Economic crises don’t just happen—they follow a predictable pattern of boom, bubble, and bust. In this episode, Mark Thornton exposes the true cause of economic crashes: government intervention in money and banking. From the Dutch Tulip Bubble to the Great Depression and beyond, Mark traces how central banks, inflationary policies, and reckless government spending set the stage for financial collapses. Mainstream economists blame "animal spirits," psychological instability, or capitalism itself, but what if the real culprits are the very institutions claiming to prevent crises? Tune in to uncover the truth behind booms, busts, and the destructive cycle of intervention.
