Money & Debt

The video Money and Debt covered a vast amount of information in forty-seven minutes. From the origination of banking to our current need for debt to maintain a well functioning economy this video was an eye opener for where money comes from. The concept of money and debt is so prevalent within today’s society and something we should all be attuned to. The animated graphics add a touch of humor to a very serious situation economically and were more engaging than other documentaries of it kind. The economic development and desired stability globally were better understood throughout the film. The quotes streaming throughout the segment offered a positive supplement to the information about money and monetary reform. This video took the taboo subject of debt and money and transformed it into an easy to understand depiction of what is true. A lot of issues were highlighted that I was completely unaware of. I had frequently questioned how banks had started and while I knew how they generated revenue and that they depend on us, I didn’t know that the concept began centuries ago. This is a video that I will bring up as a topic of discussion at cocktail parties and will encourage people to watch and watch more than once. It is one of those films that they more it is viewed, the more will be learned. Anyone who has an interest in where we have been and where we are headed should watch this simple, funny, and captivating film!
