  • The uber crass Lashinsky is an annoying smug presence who is obviously the gatekeeper for the Zionist money men and the little toad just cant keep still, he must have worries or worms or probably both!

    For your next one Charles maybe you should ask Sony if you can do a whitewash on Fukishima next?

    On reflection Exit Through the Gift Shop should have won!

    Oh! And Charles, Jeans? Lose the trainers they are not cool Grandad!

  • This interview sucks to the hell, so low end

  • The guy is fantastic. I'll buy his book for sure.

  • "If an accurate description of your behavior is: you go up to a random person on the street, you shoot them, you knife them, you run them over with a car, you inject poison into them and THEN you take them to the hospital and save their life. Are you on a net basis a good guy?" AWESOME haha

  • so, he is a political scientist at he same time from MIT

  • Thanks for posting! The documentary was great and this interview was too.

  • Wasn't there some responsibility on the mortgage lenders to validate some of the fruadulent documentation they received? I see so much of subprime loans being "pushed tthrough" but who really was really supposed to be validating all these documents? It's just unfathomable to me that banks like WAMU, Suntrust etc haven't been called on the carpet for it.

  • @johnchime

    They'll never be called on the carpet for their actions because many of their employees now work for the SEC and in the Treasury Dept.

  • @johnchime Investigators discovered it was the bankers and mortgate providers themselves who created fraudulent documentation (income, forging signatures, etc) in order to get the commission on closed deals. This was brought to light recently - the shock was how many particpated in this practice in order to collect their commissions.

  • The interviewer is wildly annoying: looking around, looking away, fidgeting, looking for his next question, fumbling through papers, tapping his shoe, rolling his ankle, etc. Charles Ferguson is a squirmy guy and the interviewer makes him look cool as a cucumber. And does he look at his watch at 32: 33?

  • What amazes me is that no one ever speaks of the BIS.......

  • What I enjoy most about Mr. Ferguson's views is that they are non-partisan, informed, and very measured. I'm recommending this to as many people as I can.

  • who's Rebecca Black?

  • Yes, unbelievable royaltetley. I am a teacher of a Financial Literacy class and cannot believe how few people realize these things. Even worse is how few people care to know about these things.

  • If half as many people watched this and not the new Rebecca Black video, I'm sure I could say that society was heading in a generally positive direction.

    Alas, that is not so.
