How the U.S. Government Caused Its Own Financial Crisis

What if the biggest financial crises in U.S. history weren’t accidents, market failures, or corporate greed…
but the direct result of government decisions?

Milton Friedman spent decades warning about a core truth: economic systems don’t collapse randomly — they collapse when incentives are distorted and information is suppressed.

According to Friedman, many financial crises were not caused by free markets, but by policy errors, monetary mismanagement, and government intervention that amplified risk instead of reducing it.

The U.S. financial system didn’t fail overnight.
It cracked slowly — through central banking decisions, credit expansion, moral hazard, and the belief that markets could be “managed” without consequences.

Inflation, asset bubbles, bank failures, and debt cycles were not surprises.
They were predictable outcomes of policies that ignored how money, incentives, and human behavior really work.

In this video, we break down how the U.S. government helped create its own financial crisis using Milton Friedman’s economic logic: monetary expansion, Federal Reserve mistakes, distorted signals, and why attempts to “stabilize” the system often made it more fragile.

In this video you’ll discover:
✔️ The key policy mistake that destabilized the U.S. financial system
✔️ How government intervention distorted risk and incentives
✔️ Why monetary expansion creates hidden fragility before crises appear
✔️ The role of the Federal Reserve in amplifying boom-and-bust cycles
✔️ How Friedman explained inflation, bubbles, and systemic failure
✔️ Why crises are symptoms — not the root problem

💬 Comment:
Do you think financial crises are caused more by markets or by policy decisions?
Should governments have less control over money, or more?
