The Ascent of Money
In this six-part documentary respected author, journalist and lecturer Professor Niall Ferguson examines the dynamic role of money as he takes you on an epic tour of the financial world. A professor in History and Business Administration at Harvard University, as well as an author of numerous books and a commentator on contemporary politics and economics, Ferguson explains how finance rose to play such a terrifyingly dominant role in all our lives. This beautifully-shot documentary covers a broad spectrum of economic history from the 14th Century right up to the present day. But are you in on the secret? Do you really understand what causes a bank run, an inflationary meltdown or a stock market crash? Can you tell a sub-prime from a prime loan? Only with this historical perspective can one understand the essential truth about finance.


1) Dreams of Avarice
From Shylock's pound of flesh to the loan sharks of Glasgow, from the 'promises to pay' on Babylonian clay tablets to the Medici banking system, Professor Niall Ferguson explains the origins of credit and debt and why credit networks are indispensable to any civilisation.

2) Human Bondage
How did finance become the realm of the so-called masters of the universe? Through the rise of the bond market in Renaissance Italy. With the advent of bonds, war finance was transformed and spread to north-west Europe and across the Atlantic. It was the bond market that made the Rothschilds the richest and most powerful family of the 19th century. Today, governments turn to the bond markets to bail them out.

3) Blowing Bubbles
Why do stock markets produce bubbles and busts? Professor Ferguson goes back to the origins of the joint stock company in Amsterdam and Paris. He draws telling parallels between the current stock market crash and the 18th-century Mississippi Bubble of Scottish financier John Law and the 2001 Enron bankruptcy. Humans have a herd instinct when it comes to investment, and no one can accurately predict when the bulls might stampede.Bold text

4) Risky Business
Life is a risky business - which is why people take out insurance. But, confronted with an unexpected disaster, the state always has to step in. Professor Ferguson travels to post-Katrina New Orleans to ask why the free market can't provide adequate protection against catastrophe. His quest for an answer takes him to the origins of modern insurance in the early 19th century and to the birth of the welfare state in post-war Japan.

5) Safe as Houses
It sounded so simple: give state-owned assets to the people. After all, what better foundation for a property-owning democracy than a campaign of privatisation encompassing housing? An economic theory says that markets can't function without mortgages, because it's only by borrowing against their assets that entrepreneurs can get their businesses off the ground. But what if mortgages are bundled together and sold off to the highest bidder?

6) Chimerica
Since the 1990s, once risky markets in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe have become better investments than the UK or US stock market. The explanation is the rise of 'Chimerica' - the economic marriage of China and the United States. But does it make sense for poor Chinese savers to lend to rich American spenders?

My All time favorite is Trading Places. And there was a Canadian TV that's now off the air called "Traders" that I really liked. The whole show is about a group of traders in an Investment management company and you get to all aspects of the financial industry.

I found floored on demonoid.me. It's a private tracker but you can download atleast a few torrents without a account.

If anyone happens to find any of the other rare ones like Open Outcry, or A wondering trip I'd really appreciate if you'd let me know.

Also this doc is very interesting too. It's about Socionomics: History's Hidden Engine. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...1094852026056#

I think this is going to be one to look out for. Very interesting man with a unique insight into the markets, well worth looking into his background.

Watched this on the weekend. Pretty cool, likely a far fetched version of the truth which was quite obvious, but good all the same.

Mmm, I really believe that Mr. Rothschild (who was funding Britain's war) started buying the bottom of the stock market, when it "looked as if Napoleon was going to defeat Britain", staking his entire fortune, just out of "good will", in attempts to hold the stock market up and save Britain and willing to go bust in the process... Haha, sure sure.

Left a sick feeling in my stomach, but a must watch for any trader. Don't let the time stamp turn you off
