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. Lucas and Luna never simplify: they discuss real GDP figures, interest rate decisions, and the specific legislative acts that altered market dynamics. This is not a 'lessons from history' show that cherry-picks anecdotes; it is a rigorous, data-rich, and candid conversation about why some recoveries lasted and others did not. What does the 1837 panic tell us about modern debt crises that most economists miss? #EconomicHistory #PastRecessions #BoomsAndBusts #GreatDepression #PanicOf1893 #LongDepression #BrettonWoods #CreditCycles #MonetaryPolicy #CentralBanking #1921Depression #1837Panic #BusinessCycles #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #HistoricalAnalysis #PolicyLessons Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • The 1913 Federal Reserve That Was Almost Never Born

    The 1913 Federal Reserve That Was Almost Never Born
    2026/06/08
    In 1913, after decades of financial panics, the US Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act. But the central bank we know today almost didn't exist. Episode 39 of The Economic History Podcast digs into the unlikely alliance that created the Fed: the secret meeting at Jekyll Island, the resistance from populist farmers, and the last-minute political compromises that shaped a system still governing US monetary policy. Lucas and Luna explore how the 1907 panic, the National Monetary Commission, and the battle between Wall Street and Main Street produced a central bank that was deliberately weak, regionally divided, and almost immediately tested by World War I. If you think the Fed is old and settled, this story will surprise you. #FederalReserve #1913 #JekyllIsland #CentralBanking #MonetaryPolicy #EconomicHistory #1907Panic #WoodrowWilson #CarterGlass #AldrichPlan #NationalMonetaryCommission #PaulWarburg #Populism #BankingReform #USHistory #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The 1902 Coal Strike That Forced Federal Intervention

    The 1902 Coal Strike That Forced Federal Intervention
    2026/06/08
    In October 1902, 140,000 coal miners walked off the job in Pennsylvania, shutting down half the nation's anthracite supply as winter approached. President Theodore Roosevelt stepped in — not with troops to break the strike, but with an unprecedented commission that gave miners a wage hike while recognizing no union. This episode unpacks how that strike rewrote the rules of federal labor intervention, setting a template for every presidential mediation from Taft to Biden. Lucas and Luna drill into the numbers: the 10% wage increase miners won, the nine-hour day, and the political calculus that made Roosevelt a trust-buster in the eyes of the public while keeping coal flowing. They also explore what the strike's resolution meant for the United Mine Workers — a union that doubled its membership within a year but paid a long-term price for accepting arbitration over recognition. #1902CoalStrike #AnthraciteCoal #TheodoreRoosevelt #UnitedMineWorkers #LaborHistory #FederalIntervention #Arbitration #PennsylvaniaHistory #GildedAge #ProgressiveEra #JohnMitchell #GeorgeBaer #CoalMiners #Strike #Economics #BusinessHistory #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The 1980s Savings and Loan Crisis What Went Wrong

    The 1980s Savings and Loan Crisis What Went Wrong
    2026/06/07
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna revisit the Savings and Loan Crisis of the 1980s and early 1990s, which cost American taxpayers over $150 billion. They focus on the specific deregulatory moves—like the Garn-St. Germain Act of 1982—that allowed thrifts to gamble on risky commercial real estate and junk bonds. Lucas explains how the 'moral hazard' problem played out in real time, with directors of insolvent S&Ls doubling down on bad bets. Luna highlights the role of the Keating Five scandal, where five U.S. senators intervened with regulators on behalf of Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan. They also draw a contrast with the 2008 financial crisis, noting key differences in regulatory architecture and the speed of government intervention. The episode closes with a reflection on what lessons from the S&L crisis still apply today, especially regarding deposit insurance and regulatory capture. #SavingsAndLoanCrisis #GarnStGermainAct #KeatingFive #CharlesKeating #MoralHazard #DepositInsurance #S&L #ThriftIndustry #1980sDeregulation #FinancialCrisis #RTC #LincolnSavings #CrisisHistory #EconomicHistory #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LessonsLearned Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
