L'argent, en bref

I understand that many people did not like this documentary at all, or even felt almost "irritated". Individuals think that if someone fails, it's because he or she is either stupid or deserves it (but not themselves, of course!). After all, this is the quintessence of the American dream, where the individual is at the base of everything, is master of his destiny and has the freedom of choice.... Unfortunately, these people are caught up in an illusion! As a former CEO of a asset management company, with experience in both mortgage-backed securities and student loans, I can attest to this: the situation is exactly as described in the documentary. The problem is that people, on average (according to the law of large numbers!), are not as smart or as clever as they think they are, and by combining mathematical analysis with psychology it is easy (for companies with the know-how and resources) to take advantage of this, as the documentary explains very well. Therefore, it inevitably becomes the job of the state to try to protect them.

What can I say? If you want to be a victim, this is your series. Very disappointed with Vox. This series should be a wakeup call for most and to take charge of their lives. Instead, it persuades you to think its not your fault. That you are innocent. Watch if you have nothing better to do. Vox, if your reading this, please wake up and present a better series.

Not a real analysis - just show one side of the story.

Some parts are interesting - however quite woke. If you're already woke you'll lap it up.

The information contained in this short documentary series is accurate and everyone should watch. Basic stuff but nonetheless good to know in this credit driven society. Also full of great advice.

The only people who dislike these types of documentaries are those who thrive in a capitalist society and derive their income from the misery of others.

The title of the documentary sounded promising only to find out later that is heavily documented from am American point of view. So be aware of that.

On face-value, interesting documentary about the system in the USA. As a non-American, I am still stunned that the majority still believes that the American system is the best one (eventhough the Dems won the last elections, the Reps will be back next year).
