Charles Ferguson’s film – Inside Job – won the Academy Award for Best Documentary this past February. Now the film documenting the causes of the 2008 global financial meltdown has made its way online (thanks to the Internet Archive). A corrupt financial industry, its corrosive relationship with politicians, academics and regulators, and the trillions of damage done, it all gets documented in this film that runs a little shy of 2 hours.

Watch it. Post links to it on your Facebook page and anywhere else you can think of.

Thanks for the tip, miguel. I had wanted to see it anyway. Maybe I'll finish reading Matt Taibbi's Griftopia (which I'd set aside halfway through) beforehand to better set the scene.

De nada Acanuck. It should be required viewing for all Americans. You might also enjoy this very informative video of a talk Ferguson gave at MIT recently:
