Timeline cards: trigger → contagion → policy → household impact

A 5-beat faceless video outline for “Timeline cards: trigger → contagion → policy → household impact” in the Economic crashes explained niche, derived from caption timing of 2 reference videos.

Angles

• Pick one moment in history and go deep (Crash Course style)
• Timeline cards: trigger → contagion → policy → households
• Open with a historical analogy (Bronze Age currency shock) for scale

Beat-by-beat structure

1. Hook (0:00–0:30): a currency that suddenly lost value — 'we'd call this a recession'.
2. Trigger (0:30–2:00): housing bubble / risky loans.
3. Contagion (2:00–4:00): defaults → banks → credit freeze.
4. Policy + household impact (4:00–6:00).
5. Recap timeline card. Not investment advice. Original narration only.
