    Top Economist Steve Keen exposes how ā€œhelp-to-buyā€ style policies in Australia (and beyond) inflated house prices, enriched landlords, and pushed home ownership out of reach for younger generations. Using BIS data and Ravel demos, Steve shows why the real driver isn’t ā€œshortageā€ — it’s mortgage debt growth and the political choice to treat housing as an asset class, not a basic need.

    In this hard-hitting breakdown, you’ll discover:
    āœ… Why first-home buyer grants and LMI waivers pump prices instead of helping buyers
    āœ… How mortgage debt growth (and its acceleration) drives house prices in multiple countries
    āœ… Why the US subprime story is only mid-pack globally — and why Australia, Canada, NZ, UK went further
    āœ… The landlord windfall effect: policies that look helpful individually but are disastrous collectively
    āœ… Ownership reality check: outright owners down, mortgages and renters up since the late 1980s
    āœ… How ā€œcredit-based demandā€ props up GDP while trapping households in decades of debt
    āœ… Why politicians keep doing it — and what a price-down policy agenda would require

    KEY INSIGHTS:
    • Treating housing as an asset class has produced real house price rises of several multiples since the 1970s in most advanced economies.
    • Rising mortgage debt causes rising house prices; the tightest links show up when you track changes in the change of mortgage debt.
    • Australia repeatedly ā€œsavedā€ prices with grants and boosts, shifting credit cycles without fixing affordability.
    • The result: fewer outright owners, more mortgaged households, more renters — and stagnation as income services debt instead of spending and investment.

    This isn’t ā€œsupply and demandā€ on a whiteboard. It’s the math of bank-created credit meeting political incentives — and the bill landing on younger households.

    Renowned economist Steve Keen warns that beneath the surface of stock market optimism and AI-driven excitement, a deeper crisis may be forming one rooted in sovereign debt, fragile bond markets, and inflation risk tied to the U.S. dollar.
    As the world order shifts, the dominance of the dollar is increasingly questioned. De-dollarization trends are gaining momentum. Foreign buyers are stepping back from U.S. Treasury bonds. Credit cycles are tightening. Inflation pressures remain persistent.
    While many investors focus on artificial intelligence and tech valuations, this analysis asks a harder question: Can innovation offset decades of debt-fueled economic expansion?
    In this in-depth financial education breakdown, we explore:
    āœ… The changing world order and threats to dollar dominance
    āœ… Economy collapse scenarios tied to sovereign debt instability
    āœ… Inflation risk and its long-term impact on households and retirees
    āœ… Bond market stress and the limits of debt-driven growth
    āœ… Why AI and machine productivity cannot fix structural financial imbalances
    āœ… The implications for finance, business, and the stock market
    The concerns raised echo themes discussed by Ray Dalio, particularly around economic cycles and global monetary transitions highlighted in Principles for Success.
    As fiscal policy debates intensify and public trust in institutions weakens, scrutiny over inflation, debt expansion, and long-term economic sustainability continues to rise. How the US & Israel attack Iran a 6000 Year History.
    If you want a serious analysis of the changing global economy, dollar collapse risks, inflation threats, and what this means for the future of finance, this video provides critical insight.
    The world order may be shifting faster than most investors realize.

    The U.S. dollar is facing its worst performance in over five decades, with surging oil prices raising the specter of stagflation and a potential economic collapse. As China's economy increasingly challenges the us economy in global trade dominance, the world faces a very deep global recession. Mainstream economists, by ignoring the impact of credit, fail to grasp the full implications of this shift and the rising inflation.

    The presentation also contrasts debt reduction trends after the great depression with the period following the 2007-2009 GFC, providing valuable financial history and insights into economic growth and economic crisis.

    In this video, world-renowned economist Steve Keen, who famously predicted the 2008 financial crisis, explains his financial instability hypothesis. He discusses how self-fulfilling expectations and "Ponzi" financiers contribute to economic booms and busts, drawing parallels and contrasts with the debt reduction trends seen after the Great Depression. This analysis offers crucial insights into economic concepts and financial history, providing a unique perspective on economic growth.

    The presentation also contrasts debt reduction trends after the great depression with the period following the 2007-2009 GFC, providing valuable financial history and insights into economic growth and economic crisis.
