In this episode, Professor Michael Bordo talks about his finding on the countries that "learned" to develop financial stability through history versus those that did not. Mike also walks us through the historical evolution of the Canadian and US banking systems, contrasting the relative stability of the former with the instability of the latter. We discuss whether system design in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries influenced the different outcomes of both countries during the Great Financial Crisis 2007-09. Finally, we consider the case of the Great Inflation experienced in the UK, where Mike discusses the "bad policy" choices and "bad luck" that plagued authorities until the 1990s.
