Lucas and Luna examine the economic booms and busts that shaped modern history, from the 1873 Long Depression to the 2008 financial crisis. Each episode is a focused conversation around a single historical period, drawing on original data, central bank archives, and contemporary newspaper accounts. Lucas offers the narrative arc—what caused the expansion, when the turning point came, why policy responses succeeded or failed—while Luna challenges assumptions, compares institutional frameworks across eras, and asks what lessons still apply today. Recent episodes include a granular look at the 1920–21 depression (often overlooked in favor of 1929), the role of railroad speculation in the Panic of 1893, and how post-WWII Bretton Woods policies differ from today's monetary regime. The listener is someone who reads economic history for its own sake—not for simple predictions, but to understand the recurring patterns of credit cycles, regulatory change, and political reactions to hardship.

Episode #185
The Black Tuesday Liquidity Trap
Sep 14, 20269 minS4
We look at the often-overlooked mechanics of October twenty-fourth, nineteen twenty-nine. While history fixates on the panic of Black Tuesday, the real crisis began forty-eight hours earlier when J.P. Morgan and his allies attempted to prop up stock prices with direct cash injections. This episode examines how that specific liquidity intervention failed not because of a lack of capital, but because of a failure of coordination among bankers. We explore the precise moment the trust broke, the role of the New York Clearing House, and why this early attempt at central bank-style intervention actually accelerated the crash. A case study in why liquidity without confidence is just expensive delay. #1929Crash #BlackThursday #JP Morgan #StockMarketHistory #LiquidityCrisis #EconomicHistory #GreatDepression #BankingPanics #NewYorkClearingHouse #FinancialBubbles #MarketPsychology #CentralBankingOrigins #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsExplained #WallStreetHistory #InvestmentLessons #MonetaryPolicy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
We dismantle the most enduring myth in economic history: the Tulip Mania of 1637. Contrary to popular belief, there was no nationwide speculative bubble that crashed the Dutch economy. By examining the actual auction records from Amsterdam, we find that trading was limited to small groups of amateurs and rarely involved formal futures contracts. This episode explores how a single chapter by John Maynard Keynes in The General Theory resurrected this tale as a cautionary allegory for modern investors. We look at why the story persists, what it reveals about our cognitive biases regarding market crashes, and how historians like Anne Goldgar have rewritten the narrative using primary sources. If you think you know the full story of the first financial crash, you likely only know the legend. #EconomicHistory #TulipMania #DutchGoldenAge #FinancialBubbles #MarketMyths #BehavioralFinance #AnneGoldgar #JohnMaynardKeynes #AmsterdamAuctions #Speculation #InvestmentPsychology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsEducation #HistoricalAnalysis #BubbleEconomy #ConsumerGoods #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In September of 2026, we look back at the autumn of 1907 to understand how a lack of a central bank nearly collapsed the American economy. This episode examines J.P. Morgan’s desperate consolidation of trust companies and the specific liquidity crisis that forced the creation of the Federal Reserve. We trace the path from the Knickerbocker Trust failure to the Aldrich-Vreeland Act, highlighting the concrete lessons about lender-of-last-resort functions that still define modern monetary policy today. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicsHistory #FederalReserve #JP Morgan #FinancialCrisis #CentralBanking #LenderOfLastResort #TrustCompanies #MoneySupply #HistoricalEconomics #BankingRegulation #MonetaryPolicy #EconomicResilience #FinancialSystems #1907Panic #AldrichVreelandAct #USHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How The Panic Of 1866 Built Modern Clearing Houses
Sep 11, 202610 minS4
Before the Federal Reserve, Wall Street had a different solution for liquidity crises. In 1866, New York brokers created the Clearing House Association to stop bank runs by pooling reserves and issuing certificates of deposit. This episode explores how that private-sector innovation became the backbone of American financial stability, preventing panics for decades and laying the groundwork for modern central banking mechanisms without government intervention. #EconomicsHistory #BankingSystem #ClearingHouseAssociation #FinancialStability #LiquidityCrises #WallStreetHistory #CentralBankingOrigins #MonetaryPolicy #BankReserves #CertificateOfDeposit #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicAnalysis #MarketStructure #FinancialInnovation #19thCenturyFinance #NewYorkBanks #PrivateSectorSolution Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
How The Panic Of 1893 Built Modern Corporate America
Sep 10, 202613 minS4
In this episode of The Economic History Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore the Panic of 1893, a severe depression triggered by the collapse of Philadelphia and Reading Railroad financing that reshaped American banking and corporate governance. We examine how J.P. Morgan stepped in to stabilize the nation's credit, leading to the creation of the Federal Reserve system decades later, and how the crisis forced businesses to adopt transparent accounting practices. Discover why this specific financial shock, often overshadowed by 1929 or 2008, established the modern framework for investor confidence and federal intervention. #PanicOf1893 #EconomicHistory #JPMorganChase #PhiladelphiaAndReadingRailroad #FinancialCrisis #CorporateGovernance #BankingRegulation #USHistory #InvestorConfidence #AccountingStandards #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #BusinessStrategy #FinancePodcast #EconomicsEducation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HistoricalAnalysis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
