Comment on What is the catalyst that actually causes (financial) bubbles to burst?

Fundamentally it all comes down to unemployment. There is a certain point in a thermodynamic way that even the most brainwashed slaves stop becoming productive. If you don’t have a safe and private place to sleep, it’s enormously taxing on your motivation, if you can’t afford nutrients, you will be physically tired and your body will scream at you to avoid any type of damage to itself.
For bubbles, they exist mostly to make rich people richer, but come at the cost of workers getting more inflation and weaker purchasing power for their wages. Every so often bubbles have to pop, so the rich can buy up all the property they sold back, at a discount and start the process over. One of the many scams of international capitalism.
So the bubble really pops when people are unable to work for the dropping wages. It’s really just a physics question in a way.

Thxs I try to teach real economics when I can because people can’t learn this in universities or anything.

i can only think of ‘folkhögskolor’, a nordic phenomena where formerly peasants and now workers since a hundred years raise eachother to learn what gymnasiums and universities don’t and at no cost.
i appreciate you being online bringing knowledge around. got any recommended reading for economy, or a blog where you post more?

Thank you, that is very kind of you. I love that word. That is a very cynical take from me and I should probably be a bit more fair, but it’s not that far off from the truth.
The people who run these scams don’t necessarily realize they are doing it. They do to some extent, but even billionaires believe in capitalism in that kind of way.
I thought about writing little essays or making YouTube videos to kind of share what I consider to be lost knowledge and lost sciences. I should probably do that some day. Like actually write it out in more theoretical ways in a more compiled form.

Ooh, that’s fascinating, how could we implement those elsewhere, eg in the rest of Europe?
