L'argent, en bref

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.

Netflix blatantly pollutes this otherwise useful series with constant barrage of left wing silliness. At first I was confused by the frequent use of silly cartoons to illustrate financial points. But after watching this show divide everyone into white oppressors versus victims of color, It made sense. The cartoons are necessary because the show is directed at young leftists. How embarrassing. This could've been a useful and practical, even helpful show for young and old alike. Unfortunately, it's unwatchable.

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 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.

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.
