Another good watch from a decade ago, which could well have been published today. Public debt has only been growing, doubling about every 8 years in the US. With interest rates rising, the revenues needed to service that ballooning debt simply are not there anymore. If additional credit is needed to pay for the interest on the principal, the pace of debt increase is likely to spiral out of control. Let's focus on the documentary now:
End Of The Road: How Money Became Worthless - Wall Street is being occupied. Europe is collapsing in on itself. Around the world, people are consumed by fear and anger, and one question is on everyone's lips: Is the financial crisis over, or are we headed towards economic disaster? End of the Road is a documentary that chronicles the global financial collapse.

Storyline: Wall Street is being occupied. Europe is collapsing in on itself. Around the world, people are consumed by fear and anger, and one question is on everyone's lips: Is the financial crisis over, or are we headed towards economic disaster? End of the Road is a documentary that chronicles the global financial collapse. Told in an entertaining and easy to follow style, the film tells the story of how the world came to be in such a state, from the seeds sown after WW2, to the current troubles facing us today, and to the possible future that may await us all. Some of the world's top economic minds share the hidden tale behind the mishandling of the world's finances, give insight into how bad policy and a flawed monetary system joined together to create a catastrophe, as well as sharing their own personal advice on how the average person can best prepare for their financial future.
Review: "Some people apparently wrote some negative reviews about this documentary. They mention that the documentary is about propaganda from "neo-cons" and "gold dealers". This is a lie, the documentary interviews people who understand the situation and many of the people interviewed predicted economic events, because they understood the reasons.
The left wing propagandists writing these negative reviews do not like these facts because they are critical of big government and central planning.
The documentary contains some great information and is highly recommended if you want to learn more about the real economy. 8/10" Written by dbb79 on IMDb.com
"It was interesting. Currency is so abstract and this and the '08 free fall illustrates just how convoluted it's become. I'm not sure 'Ponzi Scheme' is the best analogy for the global finance situation we're in. A single investment scheme and world markets regulated or controlled by governments are very different beasts. Every recession or depression brings inflation. Only time will tell how much. I'm skeptical about the insistence that gold is still the most real money. I'm no expert but it seems we've moved too far beyond that. I just wonder with the CEO of a gold selling website going on and on about it, that there's a conflict of interest and they may be inflating things to drum up gold sales. If I had money to save I might consider some gold just in case, to diversify. But if you have a gold bar and the economy completely tanks, I don't think there's much good that bar will do. It's not going to buy food."
