L'argent, en bref

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'm fairly progressiv, or at least moderate. I watched a single episode with my spouse hoping that it would fill in some missing pieces that we haven't learned. It was super biased about the need for progressive policies to support retirement. It didn't actually teach us anything about retirement. I don't recommend.

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.

Minus it's very american focused and doesn't talk about how you can put your self in these situations, and to take responsibility for your own actions.

This does open your eyes to what is out there, how your credit score can be affected, the importance of savings, and to think before you act.

Those who have called this "woke" or gave it a low score are obviously in debt due to their own actions.
