Intersting Viewpoint/Food For Thought -Secret of Oz

[we can do it]

Though

The narrator starts off describing the current situation as off 2009. He briefly goes through the history of money, then spends the rest of the movie going through the history of money up to 1913. Interesting insites about the nature of money, history, and the gold standard.

Who controls the money is more important than what the money is, and that debt based money is a big problem.

His solution is money controlled by the people that is not debt based. He says the oligarchs control gold, so a gold standard gives them control. It seems to explain why the gold standard is being pushed by conservatives.

I do not agree with all of his opinions , but I think there is good material covered in his movie.
