In Debt We Trust



Good but not great documentary about what was then the upcoming (and is now the present) economic implosion brought about by consumer debt and financial instruments based on hyperinflated housing values. It was definitely prescient, but at the same time, I felt like it covered much of the same ground (down to using the 1950's footage of Mr. Money!) as the somewhat better-put-together Maxed Out. It was good though, just not fresh to me right now. Maybe if I'd seen it first, it would have felt more powerful.
