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 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

  • The 1981 Air Traffic Control Strike That Broken a Union and Reshaped Labor

    The 1981 Air Traffic Control Strike That Broken a Union and Reshaped Labor
    2026/06/07
    In August 1981, 13,000 air traffic controllers walked off the job, and President Reagan fired them all within 48 hours. This episode of The Economic History Podcast with Fexingo examines the PATCO strike not just as a labor showdown, but as a pivotal moment in the economics of bargaining power, wage setting, and the decline of organized labor in the United States. Lucas and Luna walk through the strike's immediate trigger — a rejected contract offer — and its lasting effects: how it changed the balance of power between employers and unions, contributed to a decade of wage stagnation, and became a template for corporate resistance to collective bargaining. They also connect it to the broader macroeconomic environment of the early 1980s: high inflation, a hawkish Federal Reserve under Paul Volcker, and a newly deregulatory political mood. Why did a single strike matter so much? And what does it tell us about labor markets today? #PATCO #AirTrafficControllerStrike #RonaldReagan #UnionDecline #LaborEconomics #WageStagnation #1980sEconomy #EconomicHistory #LaborUnions #Strike #CollectiveBargaining #Volcker #Deregulation #PublicSectorUnions #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The 1966 Credit Crunch That Invented Modern Banking

    The 1966 Credit Crunch That Invented Modern Banking
    2026/06/06
    Episode 35 takes us to 1966, when a quiet squeeze in bank lending triggered something that had never happened before: banks actually turned away customers. Lucas and Luna unpack the 'credit crunch' that forced the Federal Reserve to invent modern monetary targeting, reshaped how banks manage liquidity, and gave us the vocabulary we still use today—from certificates of deposit to the federal funds rate. It's a story about a small regulatory change, a panic in the bond market, and a lesson in how central banks learned to talk to the public. If you've ever wondered why your bank calls you about loans, this episode traces it back to one hot summer in the mid-sixties. #CreditCrunch1966 #FederalReserve #MonetaryPolicy #BankingHistory #CertificatesOfDeposit #Disintermediation #WilliamMcChesneyMartin #RegulationQ #LiquidityCrisis #CentralBanking #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicHistory #1960sEconomy #MoneySupply #FedFundsRate #BankingInnovation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
