Great list to always remind yourself that no matter how safe we seem to be in, no matter how safe the dollars in your hands might seem, you're ultimately putting trust into a bunch of greedy people that makes all the decisions.
It's funny because, before centralized banking came about, there were no financial crises. Only when someone is controlling the monetary supply do hyperinflation, deflation, recessions happen. When people were using gold, all was good; but as soon as the currency was debased by adding bronze etc. into the coins, the financial system was ready to collapse.
And who else noticed we haven't got a major crisis in the US for almost a decade now? I wouldn't be surprised at all if by the end of the decade, something extreme just suddenly happens due to the debt bubble.
This isn't accurate at all, there were plenty of smaller financial crises before central banking, you can take a look at a few of them on the on the federal Reserve bank of San Francisco. They dive into what happened in the panic of 1907 and how a federal system could have handled that better, I mean you can probably make the case that they're bias but the research being done and published by them is sound.
I think that since the crisis related to a more globalized and centralized system are larger it's easier to become more aware of them. I mean there are plenty of smaller crisis in smaller counties (which in many ways simulate what it would look like if you had a less centralized system) which go largely unnoticed.
