The Causes and Politics of Financial Bubbles
About this episode
The episode discusses the causes and political impacts of financial bubbles throughout history, featuring guest Aman Verjee.
What is a financial bubble, and what are its causes? What are the political, as well as economic, impacts of these events? Jeff welcomes investment capital expert Aman Verjee to discuss these events, and the role they’ve played throughout history. You’ll learn not only a great deal more about what really caused the stock market crash of 1929, but how it compares to a tulip sales bubble (yes, tulips) in the Netherlands in the 1600s.
