Money, Power and Wall Street, Part One (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

FRONTLINE PBS | Official 41



In the 2012 award-winning series Money, Power and Wall Street, FRONTLINE tells the story of the struggles to repair the economy after the 2008 financial crisis, exploring key decisions, missed opportunities, and the uneasy partnership between leaders of government and finance.

In part one of Money, Power and Wall Street, FRONTLINE correspondent Martin Smith interviews leading bankers, government officials and journalists to chart the epic rise of a new financial order—and the trouble that followed. As Wall Street innovated, its revenues skyrocketed, and financial institutions of all stripes tied their fortunes to one another. Smith probes deeply into the story of the big banks—how they developed, how they profited, and how the model that produced unfathomable wealth planted the seeds of financial destruction.

FRONTLINE’s veteran financial and political producers Michael Kirk (The Choice 2020: Trump Vs. Biden, United States of Conspiracy), Martin Smith (The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, The Pension Gamble), Marcela Gaviria (The Virus: What Went Wrong?, Separated: Children at the Border) and Tom Jennings (Right to Fail, Opioids Inc.) team up to present this Emmy Award-winning documentary series.

I think that Idiocracy is hiding behind this is the college debt
Recently considering government failures
Started out auto industry college and now they’re going into home ownership
Whenever government is stop helping the financial
Because it just drives the inflation
I want the government to stop subsidizing the process

@Chano601

The government hinders the growth of the USA. FDA, stop real cures from coming out. They are basically bug pharmaceutical companies arm

@jmoney9297

They lie straight to our faces the whole system is criminal

My advice to everyone is this , if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. my $800K Portfolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.

The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?

@BrigetteWaltershield

One of the greatest fears about investing in the stock market is the potential for loss. Many people worry about market volatility, economic downturns, and the possibility that their investments may not recover.

@SarachiWowa

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

Everything seems strange right now. Although inflation is depreciating the US dollar, it is becoming more valuable when compared to other currencies and assets like gold and real estate.I'm concerned that my $900K retirement savings could decrease due to the rising cost of living.
