Few of us are naive enough to believe that the bailouts and other measures the United States used in response to the financial collapse of 2008 have solved our problems. In fact, many experts believe that another - possibly more severe - financial/economic crisis is coming. The argument for this upcoming crisis can be approached from a number of angles.
For example, are any regulations now in effect that will prevent a bank from being "too big to fail"?
I could ask other questions, but you get the idea.
Filmmaker Charles Ferguson won an Academy Award for his documentary Inside Job. As the title suggests, Ferguson believes that the financial collapse of 2008 was caused by the financial industry itself. In taped interviews, Ferguson catches not just CEOs, but also policymakers and Ivy League professors with their hands in the cookie jar. Inside Job is no longer freely available through Top Documentary Films. Instead, I encourage you to purchase the DVD from Amazon.
Here's the trailer to get you psyched:
