The Men Who Crashed The World

By on September 21, 2011 in News 10

In a fantastic new series called Meltdown, Al Jazeera looks at the people and machinations around the globe that were behind the financial collapse of 2008, beginning with the assertion that for a brief period, Henry Paulson “was the de facto president of the United States.”

    Interesting video.  I guess, the bottom really fell out of the banking industry with other countries stopped investing in their products.

    There’s a book called “The Bankers Who Sold the World” about some bankers who during the financial crisis sell the world cheap to some alien bankers!

    It’s a sad state of affairs when we have to turn to Al Jazeera.

    According to youtube, the video was “Uploaded by AlJazeeraEnglish on Sep 21, 2011″. There are 3 more episodes covering the financial collapse planned.So, I’d guess production took place within the last year.
