Money, Power & Wall Street

Close to four years after the fall of Lehman Brothers, we still have not fully recovered from the crisis that has produced throngs of unemployed around the world and now threatens the already-delicate political and economic stability of the Euro zone. Perhaps the best way to equip ourselves against how events may turn for the worse in the coming months and years is to try to understand how the decisions of industry insiders, regulators, and world leaders have cascaded into this raging economic maelstrom that now seems impossible to stop. So if you have four hours to spare, please watch this PBS documentary about the financial crisis: Money, Power & Wall Street.
