Why the Dot-com Crash Was Good, Actually
The dot-com bubble was one of the biggest financial crashes in modern history. On one side, it created overnight millionaires. But for millions of ordinary people, it was a disaster.

If it hadn’t happened, the internet — and the world we live in today — might look very different, and probably much worse. So in this video, we’re going to tell the story of the dot-com bubble — what caused it, how it came crashing down, and why maybe… it was a good thing.
