Hi Everyone,

I know this isn't DELL-related, but I recently saw this 2009 documentary "The Ascend of Money" on PBS. While the first portion may talk about stuff we all know, the latter portions describe derivatives, bonds, options, etc.

I think it puts a lot of what we're learning into a historical perspective. The last part is about "Chimerica" - a mythical, seemingly symbiotic union of Chinese savers and American consumers.

p.s. Here's a (much shorter) documentary about China's ghost cities that I think complements The Ascend of Money
