From the Wall Street crash of 1929 to the housing collapse of 2008, this episode breaks down how economic disasters unfold—and how the 99% always bear the brunt. Mel O explores the policies, corporate greed, and systemic decisions that triggered both crashes, how financial protections like the FDIC came to be, and why today’s wealth gap mirrors the warning signs of the past. You’ll also hear why the middle class—not the 1%—is the real engine of the economy, and what history teaches us about tariffs, margin trading, and financial inequality.
Catch Mel O Live on the Stationhead app @momentofmetal Wednesday at 6 AM Pacific Time.
