An Extraordinary Movie

Larry Lessig (www.fixcongressfirst.org) said you should take a 1000 friends and go see "Inside Job" and for which Matt Damon supplies the voice over.

Yesterday, Frank Rich, in The New York Times suggested the same thing.

Well, I don't have 1000 friends, but I took Joanne and we went to see Inside Job today.

It is an amazing piece of work! If you have read "The Great Recession Conspiracy", you know the outlines of the story, but the movie adds lots of details.

The thing that I found absolutely jaw dropping stunning is the evidence that virtually all of the big name economists are unprincipled whores for money. These guys are multi-millionaires doing the biding of Wall Street Banks.

In one scene, Glenn Hubbard, Dean of the Business School at Columbia, loses his cool when it is announced that he got paid $125,000 to write a paper demonstrating that a lack of regulation is a good thing for everybody, and never disclosed his financial interest.

If you only see one movie this year, see this one. It is your money they are gambling with today. Google to find out where it is playing in your neighborhood.
