With all the talk about economic crisis, is it any wonder that the sense of helplessness is spreading? For the most part, citizens feel that they have little control over the government’s actions.

As someone that doesn’t come from a political background and that struggled in American government classes, I found something very helpful for wrapping my head around the causes of the economic recession that’s going on. I found this great documentary created by the Ludwig von Mises Institute.

The documentary is 42 minutes long and covers a lot of ground in America’s financial history. Admittedly, it points the finger at the Federal Reserve System for being the main cause of most money issues we’re currently facing, but leaves some room for debate. The economy doesn’t work in a vacuum and the changing economies of China and India are bound to influence foreign markets. Do you agree? Share your thoughts in the comments.
