Collapse of the Financial Institutions
or Money, Power & Greed
or the Banking Industry
What can I say... this is a very scary section and yet a very real possibility!
Banking Overview
I like Niall Ferguson video "Ascent of Money", because it steps you through the history of the banking industry. So much for the "old" rule-of-thumb for the banking industry: 3-6-3. Pay 3% on saving accounts, collect %6 on bank loans, and be on the golf course by 3:00pm. I like the video "Money Masters" because it goes through the history of banking in a no nonsense manner.

Banking Crisis
Here is an explanation of what happened in the banking industry, and apparently the banks are back at it again. Why can't our governments put a stop to risky financial behavior? Is it because the government is doing the same thing? Lets ask them for a Balance Sheet (not a Budget).

Boy, if you don't want to sleep tonight listen to the following two videos by Richard Wolff. There is also the radio interview "Crisis by Design" that might make you think twice.
