Why and How Do Asset Prices Collapse? Minsky Moments (Hyman Minsky) Explained in One Minute @OneMinuteEconomics

Uploaded April 2020 | Updated September 2026, 26 minutes ago

In light of 2020's developments, it makes sense to spend at least a little bit of time understanding how and why asset prices collapse and perhaps Hyman Minsky would have a thing or two to say about this. As such, through this one minute animation, so-called Minsky Moments have been put under the proverbial microscope.

Did Hyman Minsky provide a "one size fits all" answer to all possible questions surrounding asset price collapses? Of course not, this video most definitely doesn't have the goal of explaining all such situations. On the contrary, as explained time and time again on this channel, there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" solution in such instances.

Instead, Hyman Minsky provided an adequate (enough) framework which helps market observers understand market crash scenarios as they unfold. This is the angle from which Minsky Moments should be viewed and make no mistake: by properly understanding the concept (actually internalizing it), you will be light years away from most market participants, who seem to always be left proverbially scratching their heads after an asset price collapse scenario.

$Why Art Investing Is NOT Just for Billionaires - Masterworks Explained in One Minute Far too many people make the mistake of assuming that art investing is somehow limited to an elite investor class. That theres just no room for the average person in this equation. Thus, they end up ignoring assets that most definitely deserve a place in their portfolios. Now to be fair, they do have a point in that for an extended period of time, gaining exposure to the best of the best in terms of art was next to impossible... even if you had copious amounts of money, which is a major IF to begin with. To put it differently, art investing was an option that seemed exclusively intended for the very well-funded and very well-connected. Fortunately, as explained throughout this video, that is not the case anymore thanks to Masterworks. In a nutshell, Masterworks enables the average person to gain exposure to masterpieces in the most literal sense of the word. Picassos, Warhol gems, Basquiats, you name it. The beauty of fractional ownership or the democratization of art investing, depending on how you choose to view things. The end result is that never before has it been easier for the average person to gain exposure to an asset class that beat the already-impressive S&P 500 by well over 100% over the past 25 years, an asset class that is especially attractive in an inflationary environment such as the one we are increasingly finding ourselves in.
