The Love of Money

The Pontiac

The Love of Money I watched this three part BBC documentary last night and found it fascinating. It really gives a great account of how the 2008 crash actually happened, and what could have happened - scary stuff. Part 1 begins with the Lehman Brothers collapse in America. The third part features an interview with Brian Lenihan, and how the other European leaders reacted to his decision to guarantee the liabilities of our domestic banks. It's a brilliantly made series and gives a great insight into the global financial markets.

It can be watched on you tube.. Three part series, each over an hour long..

Part 1 The Fall of Lehman Brothers
Part 2 The Boom and Bust Years
Part 3 The Last Days of the Banks

Thanks for this. Just watched all six parts of 'The Fall of Lehman Brothers'. That Dick Fuld guy who headed Lehman will hopefully spend a long time in prison.

Glad you enjoyed it. Wait until you watch part 2, and see what 'Ameriquest' did..
