Money, Explained

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.

The information contained in this short documentary series is accurate and everyone should watch. Basic stuff but nonetheless good to know in this credit driven society. Also full of great advice.

The only people who dislike these types of documentaries are those who thrive in a capitalist society and derive their income from the misery of others.

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.

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 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.
