I've got your Sunday morning movie right here, folks.
You can now watch the Oscar-winning documentary on the financial crisis, Charles Ferguson's brilliant Inside Job, at Open Culture, for free. It's worth picking up the DVD version at Amazon absolutely, but if you haven't yet seen this film, set aside two hours and do so today as a public service to yourself as an informed consumer. It will explain the financial crisis to you in stunning clarity and rich detail, and features very candid interviews with some of the major players: Obama economic advisor Paul Volcker, Rep. Barney Frank, IMF chief Dominique Straus-Kahn, billionaire George Soros, French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde, New York state AG and Gov. Elliot Spitzer, economist Nouriel Roubini as well as people from all over the financial industry.
These are the folks I've been quoting and following in this blog for close to three years now, guys. The film, narrated by Matt Damon, is must-watch stuff for anyone who is even remotely interested in how the bottom fell out of our economy: the bottom was cut out on purpose.
It was, after all, an inside job.
Go watch.
