About this listen
What causes a bank to fail? The most basic explanation is simply that it runs out of money. But there are a lot of ways for banks to lose money, and understanding what causes these institutional failures can help you get a clearer picture of economic perils in our current moment.
In the six lectures of Understanding Bank Crises and Contagion, author and lecturer Kathleen Day illuminates the inner workings of banking to reveal why financial institutions fail and how banking crises can have a powerful ripple effect not just on individuals, but on communities, industries, and even the global economy. From the Great Depression to the failure of Silicon Valley Bank, you will get a historical overview of bank crises in the United States and see how the government has created regulations and institutions in an attempt to mitigate the dangers of these crises, often with very mixed results.
While each bank failure is unique, they also share many characteristics. With so many similarities to learn from, why do we continue to experience these financial crises again and again? As you explore the realities of banking in the 20th and 21st centuries, you will see why these avoidable catastrophes keep happening and what they reveal about the realities of financial risk and accountability—revealing who really shoulders the responsibility for maintaining these “too-big-to-fail” institutions.

Humpback whales are among the most intelligent animals on Earth. Some scientists believe they might even surpass humans in self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills. In this episode, we swim with a whale as he teams up with other humpbacks to use bubbles to catch fish, rescues a sea lion, and puts his own spin on melodies sung by whales across the Pacific Ocean. This is the world in its natural state, defined by seasons, routines, and cycles. By the time this whale is ready to close one eye and go to sleep, you will be too.

What is that mysterious thing we call charisma? Where does this magnetic quality come from? Why are we so drawn to it? Are people born charismatic - or do they become that way over time? Can charisma be just as much a force for evil as it is for good? Answers to questions like these are just as important now, in the 21st century, as they were during the earliest years of the American republic.

Fiat maxi
She sounds like a brainwashed bank-advertisement - no room for differing perspectives or the horrible nature of money printing or how bailing out banks gives bad precedent and is only needed because the banks decided to sell more seats than they actually have, or how money isn't just a collective delusion, but like any other instrument, their properties define the usage, or how inflation is related to the cheaply created new supply of money (and she thinks Bitcoin is created by criminals to hide the transactions - yeah, that's why it has a public ledger...)
