"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." - Mark Twain. In order to better ourselves as investors (and in life), it is imperative that we learn from the past. In A History of Financial Markets, follow along as your hosts Brett Schafer and Ryan Henderson do just that. Starting with the United States at the turn of the 20th century, each season will chronicle a decade of financial history. Listen and learn about: The most important business/investing figures from each decade, landmark events including all the major panics, recessions, and depressions, and the interworkings of the financial world. The goal of A History of Financial Markets is to teach people about the past so they can understand why/how we got to where we are today.
