This sharply directed documentary delivers an authoritative and well-researched account of the processes of greed and poorly regulated irresponsibility that have pervaded the world financial industry, leading to the mortgage bubble and Wall Street crisis beginning in the fall of 2008. The film bears an academic and concerned tone that I think should inspire greater care over the way we manage our money, and greater humanitarianism in the way we view professional development and the upscaling of corporations. It can be employed at home to turn start churning the mental hamster wheels of your friends and family members, as well as in the classroom to spur interest in the study and application of socially responsible Economics. This movie has caused me to critically re-evaluate the way in which I view financial market managers. As a result, I feel driven to demand greater accountability from the architects of global finance and political economy that control the welfare of millions. Watch this movie, tell your friends about it, and disseminate its message widely. With greater information amongst the public, and more responsible political-economic governance, we can come closer to limiting the massive irresponsibility of Wall Street and government regulators which lead to the crises of fall 2008 and exacerbated the Great Recession.
