In this episode, Braden continues the series on financial panics with the Panic of 1819,  the first extended, multi-year crisis in the young nation's history. He talks about how the War of 1812 changed the US economy, how the chartering of the Second Bank of the US contributed to the crisis, and the effects of such a devastating nationwide panic. He breaks apart the US into its three key geographic groups: the North, South, and West, and discusses how each of these groups felt about and were affected by the Panic. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, Braden describes climbing the credit card ladder by gamifying it. He compares it to a video game, and how you start off as a noob with either no credit cards or a beginner credit card, and grow to a pro money making machine with a suite of credit cards. He details how you can level up your credit game to make free money with credit cards and put yourself on solid financial footing. 

Continuing with the Financial Panic series comes the second episode of 1797. Braden explores the complicated geopolitical situation in the mid 1790's, and how that affects the growing land speculation bubble in the US at the same time. He details the first financial panic caused by land speculation, but certainly not the last. 

In this episode, Braden talks about the causes, effects, and aftershocks of the Panic of 1792, the first major financial shock in US history.
