The Monopoly on Violence
This is a story of the violence and coercion that underlies our modern societies. Most of the time, our interactions are peaceful and consensual, but there is a large notable exception. The state maintains its power and ability to create law by the constant threat of force. It prohibits competition to its authority, and in this sense, represents a monopoly.

All Wars are Bankers' Wars
All Wars are Bankers' Wars
The United States fought the American Revolution primarily over King George III's Currency act, which forced the colonists to conduct their business only using printed bank notes borrowed from the Bank of England at interest. After the revolution, the new United States adopted a radically different economic system in which the government issued its own value-based money, so that private banks like the Bank of England were not siphoning off the wealth of the people through interest-bearing bank notes. But bankers are nothing if not dedicated to their schemes to acquire your wealth, and know full well how easy it is to corrupt a nation's leaders. Just one year after Mayer Amschel Rothschild had uttered his infamous "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws", the bankers succeeded in setting up a new Private Central Bank called the First Bank of the United States, largely through the efforts of the Rothschild's chief US supporter, Alexander Hamilton.

I'm a bit late to the party I know and have only just finished watching the 'Inside Job' 8 years on! Wowzers though. Utterly mind blowing content, research and analysis and narrated to perfection by Matt Damon. I'm no business brain but the way the financial crisis was clearly explained and illustrated made it brilliant to follow and even more shocking to absorb. Charles Ferguson and the whole team deserved their Academy Award, as it's just a mesmerising, expertly told documentary. Superb!

The documentary covered the analysis of financial crisis from the perspective of various stakeholders: Investment banks, The Government and Federal Regulatory bodies. It also covered how academia are supporting false publications and hence teaching at top business schools. An eye opening documentary.

It is sickening to watch this documentary. Not because it is poorly made - it's actually quite good - but because of the corruption it exposes. Wall Street has gone unchecked for long enough. Though there may be few legal remedies currently available - big banks simply have too much money to protect them - bringing the issues to light is incredibly important. That is why we need documentaries like these. The public needs the truth.Never forget what happened in 2008.

Quick look at the DVD-case cover, and even the small intro, doesn't give much value to wait for.But when the film gets into business it becomes great, awe-inspiring with its straight ahead, courageous, disciplined, civil, but also unbending handling of the subject matter.
