The Inside Job

How did things go so wrong back in 2008-09? And what the heck really happened anyway? It’s still very confusing. And could it happen again? Some say the economy is fine. But student debt, credit card debt, mortgage debt, corporate debt, government debt are all higher than in 2008 – much higher. What has been happening over the last twelve years and what is going to happen?

To answer these questions we’ll review what happened in 2008-09. “Inside Job,” an Oscar winning documentary by Charles Ferguson, relates step by step actions taken, regulations wiped away, risks disregarded even after the collapse. If you’ve already seen “Inside Job,” it’s worth seeing again.
