Money, Explained

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.

I expected to hear about fractional reserve banking, or no reserve banking, as it works now in the US. I've expected to hear how dollar has lost its backing in gold. I am disappointed. Not really much worth watching here.

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).

I will say, this series doesn't really "explain" money. More so it's pitfalls and trappings in our current society and the history of how it impacts generations. I hate when ppl use "woke". Facts are facts. The numbers don't lie. They speak for themselves. That's not being "woke" it's being informed of the truth. However to be fair, this doc does glance over personal responsibility in many aspects, choosing to more so focus on the predatory nature of the current banking system...which is just factual regardless of your politics. Even if you don't agree with the approach, doesn't make the information false. Watch and judge for yourself. Many communities don't even get THIS type of financial information. ESPECIALLY regarding credit cards and understanding how interest or student loans work.

I was expecting an explanation of money. How its created, how it affects society, how interest works. You know, explaining money. Instead you get neoliberal garbage.
