DVD Reviews of Ascent of Money
DVD Review: Official Propaganda
Summary: 1 Stars
I watched this program on PBS. It's contains false information. Save your money and get a copy of The Money Masters- How International Bankers Gained Control of America and Money as Debt II, Promises Unleashed if you want to know the truth about central banking. G.E. Griffins The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve is also an excellent source of information on the history of central banking. And for an excellent overview of the current financial crises watch Fall Of The Republic: The Presidency Of Barack H Obama; it's far more accurate than The Ascent...DVD Review: Only half of the series
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a good video, but it is only half of the series. You cannot buy the second half individually. The full series can be found here at the exact same price as this DVD. I feel disappointed and cheated that PBS chose to sell half of the series initially, knowing that the full series would be made available at the same price within a few months.
Also, the title of this first half of the series is misleading. It is much less about the history of finance than it is about the current financial crisis.
DVD Review: Not the Complete Story
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an excelent beginning, but was misled to believe it was the whole Series. It is not.
There is MORE. Found this out the first time I watched the whole 2 hours. Part of a series I saw on PBS TV on Economics, Banking and the American Civil War... was no where to be seen. Turns out there is more than 2 hours to this series.
DVD Review: One of the most comprehensive accounts of financial history ever compiled
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary offers a unique window into the complexity of modern global financial markets, and is particularly salient in light of the recent economic crisis. It is really a historian's view on the role of money and finance throughout human history, and places modern political economy in crucial context. Ferguson argues implicitly that the indispensable role of financial history has been somewhat underappreciated even within academia, and that a better understanding of what makes the economy tick is critical to future prosperity. The book version of this work is also great, but the documentary complements the arguments with stunning visuals from around the world. This DVD is a must see for anyone working in the financial industry, any students of economics or history, and anyone wishing to better grasp contemporary finance.DVD Review: EASY TO UNDERESTAND THE WALLSTREET CRISIS
Summary: 5 Stars
WITH THE UNIQUE AND BRIGHT BACKGRAOND OF N.FERGUSON, THE PBS DOCUMENTARY EXPLAINS A LOT OF THE REAL ROOOTS OF WERE ARE WE IN THE CRISIS.
THE HISTORY IS VERY WELL EXPLAIN AND THE VISUALS ARE REALLY EXCELLENT.
IT IS VERY USEFULL FOR THE EXPERTS AND THE LAYMAN.
IT IS FUN AND IS INSTRUCTIVE WITH OUT THE EXPERT LENGUAJE OF THE BOOK.
Description of Ascent of Money
In THE ASCENT OF MONEY, Ferguson whose series War of the World garnered critical attention last summer traces the evolution of money and demonstrates that financial history is the essential back-story behind all history. Everyone needs to understand the complex history of money and our relationship to it, he says. By learning how societies have continually created and survived financial crises, we can find solid solutions to today s worldwide economic emergency. As he traverses historic financial hot spots around the world, Ferguson illuminates fundamental economic concepts and speaks with leading experts in the financial world.General DVDs
