How banks invent money. Worth watching even if you think you know how money works. This animation makes a lot of important points in a very straightforward way. It shows exactly how the current system, which relies on constant growth, is fundamentally broken. In my opinion, this growth requirement has had severe negative effects on political systems and society in general.

Of all the numerous historical quotes used, this was my favourite

Whosoever controls the volume of money is any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce. And when you realise the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.

whilst this was the scariest

We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.
