1945: The Federal Reserve, Biggest Investor, Hyperinflation, The Fed Guy, Joseph Wang Part 1

Empowered Investor LIVE is just a few weeks away! Get your tickets NOW and join other investors and third party vendors who are invested in your success! Hope to see you all in Scottsdale, Arizona on January 27 to 29! Watch more content from Jason on his YouTube Channel today! And today, Jason touches briefly on the housing inventory market. In this day and age, the government essentially have made building entry-level homes illegal, given the rules and regulations coupled with supply chain and labor issues! Central banking is magic. With a few words, the Fed can lift the stock market out of desperation and catapult it towards euphoric highs. With a few keystrokes, the Fed can conjure up trillions of dollars and fund virtually unlimited Federal spending. And with a few poor decisions, the Fed can plunge the entire world into a recession. The Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful institutions in the world, and also one of the most difficult to understand. Joseph Wang spent five years studying the monetary system as a trader on the Desk. From that vantage point, Joseph saw firsthand how the Fed operates and how the financial system really works. His conversation with Jason aims to educate and demystify. He explains how money is created, how the global dollar system is structured, and how it all fits into the broader financial system. But to have a broader feel of his experience as a FED trader, make sure to get his book, Central Banking 101 today.

1944 FBF: The Abolition of Wage Slavery with Noam Chomsky Linguist, Author & Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 357 published last January 9, 2014. Get your tickets NOW to the EMPOWERED INVESTOR LIVE conference happening towards the end of January! Jason has lined up a lot of great speakers that will guide you on the road to true financial freedom. And get to meet our local market specialists, property managers, lenders, 1031 tax-deferred exchange experts and other investors as well! Join Jason Hartman as he visits with Noam Chomsky, one of the best known philosophical voices of our time. The left-leaning Chomsky aligns himself ideologically with the anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian-socialism movements. Often referred to as the "Father of Modern Linguistics," Mr. Chomsky is the author of more than 100 books and has spent most of his career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he is currently Professor Emeritus. In a 2005 poll he was voted the "World's Top Public Intellectual." If you're wondering exactly what those high-falutin' words mean about Mr. Chomsky's beliefs, here are the short versions: Anarcho-syndicalism: The end goal of anarcho-syndicalism is to abolish the wage system, regarding it as a form of slavery. With a focus on the labour movement, this ideological philosophy advocates direct action rather than intervention of third parties like politicians, bureaucrats, and arbitrators. Adherents to this belief regard the state as a profoundly anti-worker institution, but also don't believe there can ever be any kind of workers' state because power always corrupts. If this sounds like an anarchist's way of thinking, it is. Libertarian-socialism: Chomsky's basic belief in anarchism is further found in the libertarian-socialism ideal that it is necessary to abolish the authoritarian institutions that control the means of production, thus subordinating the majority to the will of the owning class or political or economic elite. The ultimate goal here is a decentralized form of direct democracy of the kind found in citizens' assemblies, trade unions, or workers' councils. Whether you agree or disagree with the man's point of view is beside the point. A conversation with Noam Chomsky is enlightening and disturbing at the same time. What cannot be denied is the man's global influence over the past six decades. Ladies and gentleman, you're in for a treat. Pull up a chair, grab a beverage, and lend your ear to one of the true philosophical giants of our time.

1941 FBF: 'The End of Wall Street' with Roger Lowenstein of the Wall Street Journal's 'Heard on the Street' Column

Today's Flashback Friday is form episode 237 published last 27 January 2012. Get more awesome content when you follow Jason's YouTube channel! Join Jason Hartman as he interviews author and financial journalist Roger Lowenstein regarding the history of Wall Street's demise. Roger talks about the increases in choice, risk, hedging, more volatility, and how free markets are open to speculation, greed, fear and manipulation. There are more markets today susceptible to booms and busts. In the old days, local bankers determined loan eligibility. Today, bankers internationally, who don't know anything about their clientele, determine eligibility, often to the detriment of the borrowers. Roger and Jason debate whether Wall Street needs more regulation or deregulation, and discuss the consequences of government interference. They also talk about many of the Wall Street mistakes and the corporations that were rescued by the bailouts and the unprecedented number of failed mortgages. They end their discussion with observations of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

1940: Thou Shall Prosper, Ten Commandments For Making Money by Rabbi Daniel Lapin

In Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money, Rabbi Daniel Lapin offers a practical approach to creating wealth based on established principles of ancient Jewish wisdom. A renowned business consultant and Biblical scholar, Rabbi Daniel Lapin uncovers a mother lode of motivational inspiration and practical guidance that will increase your potential for creating wealth, no matter what your faith or background may be. No wonder Dave Ramsey cites this as one of his top 10 business books of all time. The book details ten permanent principles that never change, the ten commandments of making money if you will, and explores the economic and philosophic vision of business that has been part of Jewish culture for centuries. By blending contemporary business stories and his own business experiences with the wisdom of the Torah, Talmud, and examples from the Zohar, (the Jewish book of Kabalah or mysticism), Rabbi Daniel Lapin explains the essence of each commandment and shows you how to use this knowledge to prosper financially. But before that, listen in as Jason talks about changing mental attitudes towards money as we go through inflation. And take a peak into the future as he gives a glimpse about labor shortages and automation! Plus, check your email because we will be sending invites to a Zoom meeting with Rich Dad Tax Expert Tom Wheelwright on January 3, 3023! Remember, the single largest expense in our lives, is tax.

1938 FBF: Free Markets vs Big Government with Steve Forbes Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media and Author of 'Freedom Manifesto'

Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 302 published last February 25, 2013. Jason Hartman is joined on this episode by Steve Forbes, the editor in chief of Forbes Media, to propose and attempt to answer the question: Why does government get bigger and bigger when we know it doesn't work well? Mr. Forbes states that history proves free markets work for the people, while big and over-reaching government is about meeting its own needs. In his book, Freedom Manifesto: Why Free Markets Are Moral and Big Government Isn't, coauthored with Elizabeth Ames, the authors delve into historic events and statistics, showing that in every instance, big government promotes favoritism, stifles economic growth, dumbs down education, and creates an atmosphere of "rigidity and scarcity." At the same time, it opens the door to corruption. Mr. Forbes discusses the benefits of economic freedom, which promotes creativity and growth. Jason and Mr. Forbes also talk about current economic issues, including the bubbles that the Fed continues to create in the bond market and housing. "When government undermines money, bad things happen," laments Mr. Forbes. "When government says it's here to help, watch out!"
