Everything You Need To Know About the Chinese Evergrande Crisis (So Far) - How Money Works

Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈

For those of you who are not already aware this has the potential to be far more than a run of the mill corporate bankruptcy. Evergrande employs over 200,000 people directly while also providing work for as many as 4 million subcontractors who work to erect thousands of buildings for the company every year.

Beyond just job losses, the company is also holding deposits for 1.5 million properties that may not be delivered to regular Chinese citizens who were just looking for a home or an investment property.

Now loosing a home is terrible in ANY country, but perhaps nowhere more so than in China. The value of these properties compared to the incomes of people buying them is astronomical, and it often takes multiple family generations to save up for a deposit.

Because of this, real estate has become basically the only thing that most people invest in, and over a million people losing that investment will have massive knock on economic impacts beyond just putting people out on the streets (as is that wasn’t bad enough already)

Despite these social issues and the apparent threat to the national and global economy the Chinese government has said that they are not prepared to bail out the company.

Why? Well politics… but there are a few things that you need to understand about this crisis as we watch it play out in real time.

The first is how this collapse actually started in what looked like an otherwise very healthy company?

The second is how bad could this get if the government does not step in?

And the third is, Will this all be contained? Or could this leak out and cause an economic collapse in countries outside of China?

EVE Online's Self Imposed Economic Collapse - How Money WorksA few years ago the galaxy within EVE Online was facing a problem. Abundance.

An abundance of materials, an abundance of fuel, an abundance of high paying income sources, and an abundance of safe space to harvest these materials, fuels and space dollars.

Now while that might sound like a really good problem to have, (and it would be in the real world) It does cause some problems in a video game.

The biggest problem simply being that is boring.

Try playing GTA 5 with god mode hacks turned on, after punching some fighter jets out of the sky you are going to get bored pretty fast, and people WERE getting bored.

The largest groups in EVE online were up until recently playing a game of “build as much as you possibly can so it becomes almost impossible for any smaller group to ever catch up”.

Ethical Investing is BAD Investing... Here's Why - How Money Works

Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈

Ethical investing has become incredibly popular in recent years.

The promise of being able to put your money towards businesses that don’t harm the environment, exploit vulnerable workers, or engage in bad business practices is obviously very attractive.

The idea of this practice is that by denying these bad companies access to investment, they won’t have the opportunity to grow and continue their harmful practices.

Some big names in the investment space have also backed up an ethical investing strategy by saying that not only will it do good for the world, but it will also do good for your wallet, because it can offer higher returns than a traditional investment strategy.

The problem is that… it almost certainly can't.

Ethical investing may feel good but under the surface it effectively re-brands one of the biggest mistakes that people are make when getting into investing, not being diversified…

What’s more is that ethical investing might not actually have the positive effect on the world that you might initially expect from listening to the thought leaders in this space.

So it’s time to Learn How Money Works and find out why ethical investing is bad investing.

The Dark Secret Behind Those Omaze Giveaways - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈If you have watched YouTube… at all… in the last year or so you have no doubt know what Omaze is…For the few of you who don’t, they are an organisation that promotes lotteries for all manner of different items and experiences, ranging anywhere from a chance to win a Lamborghini all the way to an exclusive Star Wars set tour before it hit theatres.This all sounds very cool especially when it is revealed that all of the proceeds from these lotteries go on to support charities. To date the company has raised over 130 MILLION DOLLARS for charities that do everything from providing scholarships to orphaned children, to installing solar power in remote African communities.Surely it would be pretty hard to hate on an organisation like this right?Well…You see despite this chirpy exterior of flashy cars and warm fuzzies, Omaze is hiding a pretty dark secret. So it’s time to learn how your money works in these raffled because also reveals a lot about how an alarming amount of charitable organizations conduct themselves in the modern day.So before we go any further the first thing you need to know about is that it is a For Profit Institution, which means that its primary goal is not to feed the homeless or save the spotted owl, it’s to make money…It makes this money by representing organizations that are themselves non profits, but they are not one themselves.Now there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this, if feeding America held a charity gala in a Hilton Hotel nobody would have any issues with Hilton hotels later going on to turn a profit that’s fine.Where Omaze starts to push it’s luck though is that it really doesn’t make any effort to stress this relationship.Just think, when your favorite YouTuber was talking about a car giveaway, they probably spoke a lot about Omaze, and the great work it was doing, but just think, do you remember any of the charities that these charities were actually meant to fund?If you do, you certainly have a better memory than me.This is no accident.The company spends millions of dollars on marketing every year and trust me if they wanted you to hear about the actual non-profits, you would have heard about the actual non-profits.The company would instead like for you to conflate with saving the children, more so than running lotteries to make fat stacks, and trust me they do make fat stacks.#Omaze #NonProfit #HowMoneyWorksOmaze lottery fund raising raffle giveaway some lamborghinis and ferraris to winners of this entry free prize money and then money towards good causes and local charities.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.

To kick off the new Year, Mark Zuckerberg (a man who is definitely not having a mid life crisis) announced that Dana White, the President and CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship had been elected to Meta’s board of directors.

The decision was met with some… “mixed”... Reactions from company employees and stakeholders.

But what most people don’t realise is that this decision is really not that unusual…

The board of the Embattled Boeing Corporation recently appointed Mortimer J Buckley, the Former CEO of the Vanguard Group, who ALSO serves on the board of Pfizer, alongside James Quincey, the CEO of the Coca Cola company who also serves on its board, alongside Bela Bajara, the Chief Content Officer of Netflix, who serves under a board which includes Anne Sweeney, the former chairman of of FX Networks who worked under Tony Vinciquerra the Chairman of the Fox Networks GROUP, who currently serves on the board of Qualcomm, a company formerly managed by Steven Mollenkopf… who currently sits on the board of directors of Boeing…

It’s a great big club… and you ain’t in it…

For a long time companies like McDonalds, Dominos, KFC, Taco Bell and Wendy’s were considered “recession proof” because even in the most dire of circumstances people still need to eat, and the companies typically offered the best exchange rate of dollars to calories in the market. But that’s changed. In a business move that can only be described as… confusing… These brands have responded to cost conscious, busy and desperate consumers by becoming more expensive, slower and less reliable… Unsurprisingly sales across the industry have plummeted at a time when they SHOULD be outperforming. It would almost be comical if they weren’t collectively some of the largest employers in the country. However the McRessession has been caused by more than some management missteps, it’s a clear sign of some much bigger problems in the wider economy.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.

Late last month, the paragon of wise economic decisions… Greece… introduced a SIX day forty-eight-hour work week.

The country did this at the same time as its European neighbours have been successfully experimenting with shorter four-day work weeks, but the Greek government has insisted that this new change is the key to tuning its economy around by simply working harder than everyone else.

It’s a bold strategy, and for the sake of working conditions everywhere we better hope it doesn’t work… unfortunately, it just might…

It’s very easy for Greek workers to find jobs that pay better in other countries because as a member of the European Union they are free to reside and work across borders with very few restrictions.

In order to correct for this loss of manpower the government has decided to introduce a six-day work week to make up for all the workers who have left the country and to support all the elderly people who can no longer support themselves.

By raw arithmetic their logic makes sense… kind of…

Output is the hourly productivity of a worker multiplied by how many hours they work. If Greece has fewer workers, it can increase its output by just getting those who are left to work even longer and harder.

Instead of magically creating high paying jobs like promised, what this new law is really about is squeezing the most out of workers on the other end of the pay scale.

Retail, transport, construction and hospitality are jobs where companies just need someone behind a counter or on the tools for as many hours of operation as possible to serve customers periodically.

A large share of what’s left of the Greek workforce are in these types of roles, and businesses are ALREADY demanding a lot of extra hours from their employees.

It won’t make workers work harder, it won’t create high paying jobs, it won’t improve productivity, it will drive away what few young workers the country has left, it will lower hourly wages and create terrible working conditions for the whole country.

It’s all aroun

The Growing Problem With Personal Finance YouTuber "Influencers"Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈I have some bad news for you…You are probably not going to be rich.Not a particularly positive message to start a video on but its something that people need to hear from time to time.Unfortunately, this is not something that most people want to hear, so there is no shortage of people out there that will tell you exactly the opposite, normally as a way to pitch you some kind of product.Now of course most of you watching know that the YouTube ads saying that you can earn 6 figures in a month by selling on Amazon, Forex trading, or flipping real estate are full of shit.But they still all follow a pretty similar routine,hey, you can get richas long as you are willing to do XYZwhile listening to the advice I give you!Again when it turns out that this advice is something that you have to pay for, most people get wise to the fact that it’s all just a massive scam.Of course some don’t, which is tragic and there really genuinely should be more done about this, but that’s a story for another time… or a Coffeezilla video.Instead the focus of this video will be on a group of internet guru’s with much more influence, a much larger following, and much more credibility, the personal finance personalities.So it’s time to learn how money works and find out why you probably shouldn’t be learning to work your money like these popular YouTubers might suggest.#PersonalFinance #Investing #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Music by Epidemic SoundLinks to all channels mentioned in this videoMeet Kevin - https://www.youtube.com/c/MeetKevin Coffeezilla - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFQMnBA3CS502aghlcr0_aw Graham Stephan - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV6KDgJskWaEckne5aPA0aQ Andrei Jihk - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGy7SkBjcIAgTiwkXEtPnYg The Plain Bagel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFCEuCsyWP0YkP3CZ3Mr01QFollow 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.
