Lay back, relax, and prepare to feel the weight of vanished fortunes — in the most soothing way possible. In this calm, immersive bedtime documentary, we journey into the grim reality of money during the Great Depression. Forget tales of roaring prosperity and endless credit. For millions, cash wasn’t just scarce — it was gone, evaporating overnight in bank runs, stock market collapses, and waves of foreclosures.
From locked bank doors and empty wallets to breadlines and desperate barter schemes, this long-form finance video explores why everyday Americans found themselves penniless — and how they fought to survive. You’ll learn how working families subsisted on soup kitchen rations, how speculators poisoned small-town dreams with Ponzi schemes, and how New Deal programs like the CCC, FDIC, and RFC reshaped the economic landscape.
Perfect for sleep, reflection, or background listening, this is a gritty and grounding glimpse into a brutal era — ideal for fans of Boring Finance for Sleep.
