This year has also claimed the two biggest bankruptcies in American history that didn’t occur during the GFC and if that’s got you feeling nervous, don’t worry, according to the numbers 2024 is going to be much worse.According to data from Standard & Poor’s, corporate bankruptcies in the major companies they track were up over 200% in the first half of 2023. High profile companies like wework, Vice Media and Bed Bath and Beyond all went under due to a combination of poor management, changing consumer preferences, high interest rates and bad market conditions.But what does this even mean?Even though these companies went bankrupt Vice is still making videos, you can still rent a office from WeWork, and Bed Bath and Beyond is still selling overpriced laundry hampers. Bankruptcies just aren’t what they used to be anymore and now instead of being the corporate equivalent of game over, it’s just another business strategy, which is just one of four reasons why it’s become so popular. Now you all know I hate videos from supposed experts with wide open mouths peddling some doomer, but the other three reasons why bankruptcies are on the rise are honestly worrying and they also show why business leaders just don’t take it seriously anymore. The first reason that bankruptcies are booming is because of a new investing strategy that rewards taking on as much risk as possible. Private equity is a broad classification of investing that just means putting money into companies that are not publicly listed on any securities exchange.Venture capitalists who invest in early startups are a type of private equity, all of the deals you watch get made on shark tank are private equity deals… if you give your family member a few thousand dollars to get their Etsy store going in exchange for a cut of their future profits you are technically a private equity investor, so make sure to slap that on your LinkedIn profile. But even though that is going to hurt lenders and employees, for the private equity companies that created this situation it’s going to be an amazing profit opportunity because you will never believe it, they can use bankruptcies to make even more money.So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out what’s really behind the Bankruptcy Boom.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Why Do Family Fortunes Disappear? - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈John D Rockefeller was the richest American to ever live, as well as being the founding member of the three-comma club as the worlds first billionaire.At the height of his fortune a few years before his death he was worth an estimated 1 billion dollars which may not sound like much compared to today's tech bro’s, but this was back in a time where the USA’s annual GDP was only 39.1 billion dollars.This meant that his fortune was 3% of America’s GDP. Adjusted for inflation to 2020 dollars this would give ol John D here a fortune of 450 billion dollars. Or more than Elon, Bill, and Jeff combined.But where is this fortune today?Of course John himself died almost a century ago but if there was any fortune that was going to indefinitely set up future generations surely it would be this one right?The same goes for most of these historic moguls, the fortunes of everybody from carnage, to the medici have more or less faded into total obscurity, outside of maybe a few names plastered on random buildings… (buildings that they don’t even own mind you)…Now you might think you already know the answer, oh these fortunes get split up amongst children and then children’s children and then children’s children’s children until it was spread so thin amongst latter generations that it became almost totally irrelevant.But that’s not entirely true… What’s more is that the real reason for the fall of these financial empires can tell us a lot about how money works as it has been passed down through generations and history.#Wealth #Finance #HowMoneyWorksFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

How To Make Your Own Currency & The Companies That Already Have - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈With all the talk of reckless money printing, hyperinflation and debasement of currencies around the world today, it sounds reasonable to have some kind of backup plan ready to replace regular currencies should the need arise.Now of course there are crypto “currencies” and they are great as alternative investment vehicles, but their high transaction fees and slow processing times make them extremely unsuitable to replace something like the American dollar, in whatever form it may take.This is all really frustrating because a nations currency is supposed to serve the people of the nation and it does genuinely seem like in recent years this role has mutated into bending the economy to the whim of policy makers… who may not always have the best ideas.If only YOU had access to the control panel, you could stop all of this reckless money printing (that according to some top economists and financiers, is driving us towards hyperinflation Armageddon).This begs the question, how could you create your own currency? And how could an obscure old video game give us the answer to this question.So it’s time to literally learn how money works as we look into the steps an individual or a group could take to create a currency with the same functionality and recognition as a those created by governments around the world.So to get started we need to properly understand what a currency must do, to be a viable replacement for lets say the US dollar.#Currency #Hyperinflation #HowMoneyWorksMusic by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
