In this talk, Nicholas Barberis, the Stephen & Camille Schramm Professor of Finance at the Yale School of Management, will discuss the role that irrational thinking and decision-making may have played in the development of the current economic downturn. Drawing on ideas from both social and cognitive psychology, he will shed light on this relatively neglected aspect of the crisis. This lecture was delivered at the Association of Yale Alumni Reunion Weekend on June 5, 2009.

The economic crisis is the result of flawed banking rules. In 5 minutes, learn the basics of how banks operate and why the rules must change. The rules of banking allow banks to lend out 90% or more of the money of depositors under a system known as “fractional reserve banking”. This leads to the majority of all deposits in checking and savings accounts to be backed only by the promises of borrowers to pay back the loans on schedule and with interest. If the borrows are unwilling or unable to keep up their payments, the banks enter a state of crisis, and the deposits of all the savers are at risk. In 5 minutes, review the basics of how banks “create” money from “nothing” by lending out money based on promises of future repayment. If the borrowers fail to repay, and if the collatoral backing the promises is insufficient, then crisis results. This is a key component of the current economic crisis, which led to bailouts, financial crisis, tightened lending standards, job losses, and a recession that some believe will continue indefinitely. (Note: This is a 5-minute revision of a 10-minute video covering the same concepts. The 10-minute video goes through each step in more detail, bringing in more basics, and created with a school-aged audience in mind.)

Bill O’reilly loses it while talking to Barney Frank about the banking crisis. Frank, Pelosi and other Dems kept lying and pointing finger at Republicans for the economic collapse, when THE OPPOSITE WAS ACTUALLY TRUE. Republicans began warning about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac a decade ago. Bush administration brought it up as early as 2001, Republican Treasury Secretary asked for more regulation and oversight in 2003, John McCain sponsored a bill warning about banking crisis in 2005… and every time the DEMOCRATS said there was no threat and shot down the bill. Here is actual video footage of Barney Frank and other Dems during those years… showing they are lying now about who is to blame. Please see my other videos for more ACTUAL FOOTAGE of these proceedings. This mess goes all the way back to Democrats in the 1970′s. Jimmy Carter and the Dems passed the “Community Reinvestment Act” which caused the subprime mortgage problem in the housing market… then in 1995 President Clinton and the Dems added massive provisions to it, FORCING housing market to give $1 TRILLION in sub-prime loans… and from 2001-present, DEMS fought Republican attempts to regulate the GSE’s and prevent the economic collapse. WAKE UP… PLEASE… the Democrat policies have caused the banking crisis and may cause the collapse of our nation. JOHN McCAIN TRIED TO PREVENT IT. Please google these ACTS and see that this is the truth. Please vote McCain and don’t be deceived by the leftist propaganda …
