Скачать или смотреть The Laws Written to Protect Banks — Not People

Every time a financial crisis hits, new laws are passed with promises to “protect the public.” But history shows the truth: those laws are almost always written to protect the banks — not you. From the Bank Charter Act in nineteenth-century Britain to the U.S. Glass-Steagall Act, from deposit insurance to the 2008 bailouts and the European Stability Mechanism, financial legislation has been marketed as stability for citizens but in practice has shielded the financial system itself.

In this episode of The Financial Historian, we expose how laws like the Emergency Banking Act, TARP, Basel Accords, and the ESM were framed as protecting savings and jobs — while shifting the real cost onto taxpayers through debt, inflation, and austerity. This is the hidden side of economic history: when the system is in danger, the law bends to defend banks first, and people second.

If you want real financial education rooted in history, not political slogans, this is your wake-up call. Because understanding how money and power really flow is the only path to financial freedom and protecting real wealth in a system built to favor banks.
