Financial Crisis – Money As Debt 2

Financial, , ,

This is the second in the series of the ‘Money As Debt’ films by Paul Grignon and this one was released in 2009. You can see the first one, released in 2002 by clicking HERE.

This second film was made as a response to the global financial crisis of 2008. Therefore it goes a little further into interest burdens, bailouts, stimulus packages and the ‘gambling economy.’

It also explains aspects of the law and how they relate to the financial system and the economic crisis. I will add ‘Money As Debt 3 – Evolution Beyond Money’, as soon as it becomes available for embedding.

These films are ideal for anyone who is new to this subject, as they take their time to explain complex concepts and utilise animations to demonstrate the important points.

 

The Inside Job Movie

Financial, ,

This film is all about the financial/banking crisis of 2008.

This is a Sony distribution and is narrated by Matt Damon. It was released in 2010 and is directed by Charles H. Ferguson. You can read a more detailed review on the Inside Job movie wikipedia page.

There are some revealing interviews in this film with people who were heavily involved at the higher levels of the crisis. It might not be anything close to justice, but for now it’s still good to see these people squirm.
