Economics Detective Radio promo

This is a preview of a conversation between Jimmy Morrison and Economics Detective Radio about directing two films: The Bubble and The Bigger Bubble.

MORRISON: Ever since Alan Greenspan became the Federal Reserve Chairman in the mid-80s, he’s just been bailing out Wall Street every chance he can get: the S&L crisis, the Tequila crisis in Mexico in the early 90’s, and the dot com bubble. You know, whenever there’s a problem he just prints and prints and prints, and so over the course of twenty years, Wall Street realized this. They took the risk out of the situation because they could make money when things were good and then when things were bad, bailouts would be there.

HOST: Greenspan…had a reputation as a free-market guy. Some people got the wrong idea that Greenspan’s policies were somehow free market.

MORRISON: It’s funny, Greenspan wrote an article in favour of the gold standard in the 60s, and a lot of people point to that and talk about it, but when you look at somebody’s life, what matters is what their actual policies were and the things that they did. And the fact was that this is a guy that created bubble after bubble, and at the end he was creating a billion dollars a day just to keep everything going.

Co-written by NY Times bestselling author Tom Woods, THE HOUSING BUBBLE is a critical, non-partisan examination of the policies and events that shaped the United States economy into one bursting bubble after another.

Traveling the world for answers after starting a house painting business just in time for the crash, filmmaker Jimmy Morrison drove over 35,000 miles to track down the experts who saw it coming, seeking to understand the root causes, so that we can avoid being blindsided by the bigger bubbles and the inevitable crises that follow.

Informative, eye-opening, fresh, funny, and occasionally shocking, THE HOUSING BUBBLE skillfully de-mystifies the boom/bust link between the stock market, the FED, and the housing market for the economist and layperson alike.

Bonus Features include The Story Behind The Bubble films, which began shooting in May of 2011.  An early teaser premiered at Freedom Fest in front of over 1,300 people in 2012, followed by a panel featuring Tom Woods, Peter Schiff, Doug Casey, and Gene Epstein.  The film was finally shown there in 2018, winning an Audience Award at the Anthem Film Festival.  They added 50 seats after 250 were filled and there were still over a dozen people who stayed to watch from the hallway through the door.  The film was released digitally on June 26, 2019 with a sold out NYC Premiere at the legendary Angelika Film Center.  This panel was moderated by Fox Business’s Liz Claman and featured Jim Grant, Peter Schiff, Gene Epstein, David Tice, Tom Woods, and Jimmy Morrison.
