The Forgotten Financial Crisis of 1907 (And Who Saved America)

Описание: Before the Federal Reserve existed, the entire American economy collapsed in 1907. Banks were failing, people were rioting in the streets, and the stock market was on the verge of total destruction. There was no government safety net, no central bank, no backup plan.
So who saved America? One man: J.P. Morgan.
In this video, we uncover the incredible story of the Panic of 1907—a financial disaster so catastrophic that it changed American banking forever. Discover how Morgan held secret midnight meetings in his private library, literally locked bankers inside until they agreed to save failing institutions, and single-handedly prevented economic collapse.
This crisis was so traumatic that it led directly to the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. But here's the shocking part: the patterns that caused the 1907 panic—excessive speculation, overleveraged banks, and blind confidence—are eerily similar to warning signs in today's financial system.
Learn how a failed copper speculation scheme triggered nationwide panic, why the Knickerbocker Trust collapse spread like wildfire, and what lessons from 1907 can teach us about the fragility of modern finance.
This isn't just history—it's a warning about what can happen when financial systems become too complex and interconnected.
