How The World Really Works - The Documentary
Renegade Economist's "Four Horsemen" documentary lifts the lid on how the world really works. "Four Horsemen is a breathtakingly composed jeremiad against the folly of Neo-classical economics and the threats it represents to all we should hold dear." Free from mainstream media propaganda -- the film doesn't bash bankers, criticize politicians or get involved in conspiracy theories. It ignites the debate about how to usher a new economic paradigm into the world which would dramatically improve the quality of life for billions. Since it is becoming abundantly clear that we will never return to 'business as usual', 23 international thinkers, government advisers and Wall Street money-men break their silence and explain how to establish a moral and just society.

Pretty good flic, nice positive message at the end. Didn't agree with all the ideas brought up in it, but not in complete disagreement with it either.
" 23 international thinkers, government advisers and Wall Street money-men break their silence and explain how to establish a moral and just society."
Rolling on the floor, laughing, while crying.
We need to learn from this crash so we can prevent it from happening again. Except we already learned how to prevent it from happening again, from it happening before.
23. The USA has existed for 0ver 200 years on a motto of liberty and justice for all, and we do not have a moral and just society? And 23 people are going to Xplain how we can have one?
If you elect me, I will root out waste and fraud. I have heard that slogan for decades, yet we still have deeply rooted waste and fraud. It NEVER changes.
Karl Denninger noted that several Tea Party members, who ran as republicans, climbed into the pockets of the bankers, after they were elected. The Tea Party came about because of what the bankers did and were not being held accountable for. It NEVER changes.
So how are these 23 going to change anything?
I could go for a *benevolent* dictator, it would sure beat the facist kleptocracy we have now.
The money-soaked, lobbyist-riddled Tea Party is not an actual political party and is hardly a bastion of real conservatism, it's a "political movement" sort of like a bowel movement.
change is caused by corruption of human systems. The fact that Pax Americana has corrupted after 60 years of dominance is not something that defies the human cycle; it confirms it.
So once the lead player in civilization is in deep shit and CANNOT change from within for reasons of structural decay based on ETHOS or mindset change, history has ALWAYS proven that it takes a SMALL number of people to set the picture right or to make it worse; cross the Rubicon.
Snowden and Assange have declared themselves heretics to status quo in the name of higher ideals. If their flame alights the sky, if their words find resonance, we can progress. If that flame is extiguished, in status quo NSA coverups and truth stifled, we stay on the road to the Rubicon.
So the choices are up to us and we shouldn't smirk at a hand full of people who say that the Emperor has no clothes.
We wouldn't be here, if we had as citizens done DUE DILIGENCE in the past. Thats the tragedy of hindsight.
In the years I have lived in the US I have come to understand that the American ideology of competitiveness and the individual and therefore capitalism in general, is a philosophy of abundance formed in what were several hundred years ago a virgin limitless land.
Americans are so inculcated with this ideology that they can never readjust their world view to one of cooperation in an age of scarcity.
After colonising and exploiting our own abundant land, we have spent the postwar years exploiting the abundance of the thirld world. But when Asia and Latin America decided to stand up for themselves the US has begun to eat its own working and middle classes, with the rich relentlessly transferring wealth upwards to themselves.
The country has become the model for a capitalist horror show.
Oh yea. Noam Chomsky. He'll lend credence to any argument.
Tyler....Step away from the Kool-Aid.
