Inside Job

Director – Charles Ferguson
Screenplay – Charles Ferguson
Co-Writer – Chad Beck

Hats off to Charles Ferguson. Inside Job is a scathing, maddening autopsy of the credit and housing bubble and later crash. People may have the impression that this was some rare undesirable event that happens once in a very long while when the free markets are allowed to operate. But, it’s nothing of the sort.

The bubble and meltdown were made possible by a systematic multi-year effort by the banks to break down the regulations and safeguards designed to protect consumers and the financial system.

Still, the banks’ efforts would have failed had not they been able to corrupt a slew of government officials, regulators and esteemed academics, which were only to happy to do their bidding in return for the banks making them rich. SEE THIS MOVIE!
