Money As Debt (Full documentary)

The 2006 animated film "Money As Debt" is an important and informative documentary that explores the concept of money in modern society. Through a series of interviews, animations, and diagrams, the film explains how our current system of finance works and why it has become so unstable. The most important concepts discussed in this movie are debt-based money creation; fractional reserve banking; central banks; inflation/deflation cycles; public debt financing; quantitative easing (QE); sovereign debt crises (Greece); derivatives trading/speculation market crashes (2008 Financial Crisis). Debt-based money creation is one of the main topics explored in "Money As Debt". This process involves private banks creating new loans by issuing credit to customers who use these funds for various purposes such as purchasing items or investing. Banks then collect interest on these loans from their customers which generates profits for them while also increasing aggregate demand within an economy due to more spending power being created through borrowing rather than saving up cash reserves first. Fractional reserve banking refers to when a bank only holds a certain percentage (or “fraction”)of customer deposits on hand at any given time while lending out most other funds instead – this allows them to generate even more profits via loan interest payments but can also lead towards economic instability if not managed properly since there may not be enough liquidity available during times when many people decide they want their deposited cash back all at once resulting in runs on banks or financial institutions collapsing altogether due too lack capitalization levels needed for solvency requirements set forth by regulatory bodies like Central Banks etc.. Quantitative easing is another key concept discussed throughout Money as Debt which basically entails governments printing additional currency units into circulation beyond what would normally occur naturally through normal economic activity -this helps stimulate growth because it increases aggregate demand but can also cause problems with inflation if done excessively over long periods without proper oversight from monetary authorities like Central Banks etc... Lastly Sovereign Debts Crises refer specifically Greece's situation where government debts became unsustainable leading towards defaulting creditors & austerity measures being imposed upon citizens causing social unrest & political upheaval amongst its population base -these types events have been seen elsewhere around world before including 2008 Financial Crisis caused mostly due reckless speculation derivatives markets crashing leaving millions unemployed worldwide overnight!
