Free To Choose 1980 series by Milton Friedman. He pretty much lays down the law on economics and the implications government policies. He dispels many commonly held myths, most of which are still prevalent today.

Title: Re: Movies / Docos about Economics Post by: miscreanity on May 24, 2012, 06:54:22 PM As mentioned, Margin Call was very good.
Bad movie, but excellent at highlighting cause & effect related to differing perspectives on money: Rollover (http://imdb.com/title/tt0083006/) Title: Re: Movies / Docos about Economics Post by: RodeoX on May 24, 2012, 07:07:00 PM Several episodes of "Frontline" have been about economics and the collapse. Frontline is on PBS and is perhaps the best investigative journalism on TV. You can stream it from the link below.

Interesting that you said Movies/ Docos...so you're interested in both documentaries and fictional movies about economics? Some of both: Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), Trader (1987), Quants: The Alchemists Of Wall Street (2010). Title: Re: Movies / Docos about Economics Post by: bitcoinBull on May 25, 2012, 03:07:09 AM Not a movie, but anyone who hasn't seen the series Wall Street Warriors should do so (free on hulu):
http://www.hulu.com/wall-street-warriors It was filmed right at the '07 peak and downturn. No wonder why they stopped at season 2 ;D With the benefit of hindsight, it is plagued with lol moments. Hilarious throughout. :D |
