How can factors like inflation, supply and demand, and interest rates trigger recessions? Learn the economic basics of modern markets.--For millennia, the people of Britain had been using bronze to make tools and jewelry, and as a currency for trade. But around 800 BCE, that began to change: the value of bronze declined, causing social upheaval and an economic crisis what we would call a recession today. So what causes recessions? Richard Coffin digs into the economic fluctuations that affect our modern markets.Lesson by Richard Coffin, directed by Augenblick Studios.Animator's website: http://nabilburias.comEducator's channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePlainBagelSign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterSupport us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagramView full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-causes-an-economic-recession-richard-m-coffinThank you so much to our patrons for your support!
