Canada didn't have the same problem with bank runs and panics as the US, and they had no central bank until the 1930s. The problem was two US banking regulations that kept the money supply in the US inelastic. The ban on branch banking and the requirement to hold government bonds to back any issued banknotes.

[@TacticusPrime]

@@damag0r-451 Canada had an infamously flimsy banking system, until the 1923 Home Bank collapse triggered massive rewriting of their bank regulations. And an eventual creation of their central bank a decade later. That narrow window of lacking bank collapses and lacking a central bank is not enough to demonstrate anything.

[@kineahora8736]

Morgan had surprisingly little personal wealth relative to his stature and influence. That’s because banking done PROPERLY is significantly less lucrative than booming industry such as steel and oil. This is why bankers have been frantically fighting regulations, because banking done *wrong* can be ridiculously lucrative -see the 2008 subprime crisis. Rockefeller upon learning JP Morgan’s net worth at his death exclaimed “And to think… I thought he was a rich man!!”

[@danielclawson2099]

I thought that manufacturing companies had discovered decades ago that financial operations are more profitable than "making things". Wasn't it GE, or P&G that realized their financial division was making more than their productive divisions in the mid 90's?

[@newunderthesun7353]

Too bad their wealth was not reversed. Morgan seemed to have common sense and a humanitarian bent, while Rockefeller was determined to undermine US citizens in favor of a one-world government which he and his heirs would control. Rockefeller sponsored Kissinger, the WEF, Klause Schab and launched the career of Bill Gates, who is now doing Rockefeller's foundations bidding. Fock Rockefeller.

[@danielclawson2099]

The relative revenue, profit, and power of the US banking system today is largely the result of the financialization of the US economy over the last 40-50 years. It is enabled by the large US deficit, which is in turn enabled by the US dollar being the global reserve and trade currency (Bretton Woods, etc.).

"Vindictive savagery towards corporation." Damn, I like the sound of that.

[@TheseusTitan]

In 1873, there was an omission of the standard silver dollar from the coinage law passed by congress. It put an undue burden on using gold, gradually moving from a bimetallic system placing a monetary strain on a gold standard. This lead up to the panic which was used as an excuse for a central bank (Federal Reserve). The act of 1873 also made a change in the charge for seigniorage. Good video, thank you for all the hard work that went into producing this video.

One has to think J.P Morgan would be pleased to know that over 100 years later the bank that still bears his name is the largest in the United States, one of the largest in the world and the US government has tasked its CEO Jamie Dimon with basically coordinating, cleaning up and consolidating power during the 2 most recent major banking failures.

It could also be that he was called Jupiter because he had a jovial character. Jupiter, the largest planet, was named for the king of the Roman gods. Jove is a form of Jupiter. A person born under the planet Jupiter, therefore, was believed to be jovial-cheerful and friendly. This may be perplexing if you think of Jove mostly as a thunder-god, as his Greek equivalent Zeus is often portrayed. But if Mars is ascendant in times of war, Jove is the god who rules when the the work of Mars is done, when peace and prosperity, feasting and gladness prevail. In his poem “The Planets,” C.S. Lewis describes the reign of Jove in a way that makes it clear why joviality is associated with merriment and good humor: Of wrath ended And woes mended, of winter passed And guilt forgiven, and good fortune Jove is master; and of jocund revel, Laughter of ladies. The lion-hearted, The myriad-minded, men like the gods, Helps and heroes, helms of nations Just and gentle, are Jove’s children, Work his wonders. On his white forehead Calm and kingly, no care darkens Nor wrath wrinkles: but righteous power And leisure and largess their loose splendours Have wrapped around him - a rich mantle Of ease and empire.

That powerful role was taken over by the Fed and Treasury. In 2008 the 9 largest banks CEOs met at a table with the head of the Treasury and were not allowed to leave until they signed a one-page deal that said their banks would be bailed out via special loans. The plan worked and the bailout was paid back with a profit years later
