The Ascent of Money

Anyone else seen this series? It's British and was made last year, but only just screened on tv here.

Basically, it's about the current financial crisis and how we have learnt nothing from history. It shows just how fucked we are going to be, with the ridiculous current situation of the poor Chinese bankrolling the high income but higher borrowing Americans conceivably leading to a WW1 scenario replayed.

It's a great series if you want to learn how a Scottish murderer became Prime Minister of France, or how North America is following in the footsteps of South America.
