The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson - full 4hr 48min (minus E06)

[theyogaashram]

the explanation of how/why new orleans flooded is wanting. some reports say somebody blew that side of the levy. the canal outlet was jammed with debris that could have been dynamited instead.

[highsynthesis]

I thought that the Niall was explaining the roots of hatred and badness that comes with moder money, but he stood in for jewish banking lobby with this moves, as well as he done with supportin the war against Iraq. also, this professor has been awarded by jewish academies in USA for his work. not surprising. they fear of ISLAM! peace

[staywithtruth]

Greenspan said Americans can handle interest rate risk (the set up), and Bernanke delivered the knock out blow (interest rate rise to 5.25% just before the 08 collapse). The privately owned Federal Reserve had all the data on commercial & residential adjustable rate mortgages to know the fallout of raising interest rates on ARMs. Perhaps their move to consolidate power via economic chaos; to achieve what the Vatican (more snakes) calls for: a world central financial authority, will fail.

See at 29.00 min. the bird ups!!

Money, in its purest form, is a medium of exchange. The concept of money was to serve in place of the absence of a lack of demand for bartered goods. For instance, if you came about an object that you demanded but did not have an object that the owner demanded in return, the barter system prevented you from obtaining that object. However, the introduction of the monetary system gave the producer of the product, an incentive to sell you that good because that money represents future exchange

[ready2roll]

@nowfabien During more orthodoxy times in Europe, particularly when Christian dogma did not allow lenders to charge interest (this changed as a result of man-made regulations, like all religion is) some nomadic tribes, including Jews, but prominently Jews, were invited to many European kingdoms as a way to produce capital for financing of all kinds of projects- basically, the Europeans used them as a loophole to get money, they also charged other Jews interest

[ready2roll]

Don't rely on documentaries (particularly the more biased type) to enlighten yourself on current world affairs

[sykoelf]

the narrator sounds a bit like David Tennant sometimes haha

[missGammi86]

this is all truth... and lies

[searchforknowledge1]

Most interesting. Compulsory viewing for the "freeman".

[ceaderf]

This series could have had a title similar to “a pundit talks about money” if you are looking for a thorough history of money or a story of how our monetary system arose to its current position you might be disappointed.

[tarcazanfa]

i just disagree with the part that says Chile got better after Pinochet liberal era. I think the reforms that folowed Chigago boys policies that really make the diference in chilean society. It wasn't liberal at all. It says Amartya Sen and i agree with him.

[luizcadu]

@tarcazanfa Agreed. It seems to me that what really made Chile's economic boom was the combination of liberal policies with social programs and investments after Pinochet left power. During the Pinochet years, GDP growth was not that great.

Também sou brasileiro! abrs.

[formassio71]

i could be wrong but i believe 4-6 million SLAVES had something too do with the American cotton industry. Soak up the your mental progamming. Dumbing down of the masses.

[formassio71]

this video is bull. It never menitons who truly contols the money. Leaves out facts on purpose and tops it off with feminist propaganda. Control the money control goverments control the world. Social engineering.

[calebscrepnek]

@formassio71 aw that's cute. someone's still a truther..

[yogaflame30]

do you have to watch part 6 (E 06) in order to understand all correlations or is it not necessary? If yes when does part E06 start in that 4 hour blob?

[ErikBramsen]

Excellent!

[Sic7777]

It really annoys me how Mr. Ferguson throws his head from side to side all the time! Despite that it's a fine footage. Thank you.

[enbdavies]

everything you needed to know about fraudulent money systems #OccupyTogether

[BlindPlague]

one word for this film, PROPAGANDA

[BlindPlague]

Terrible, needs more about other moneychangers and how they still influence the governments of today. Needs more about how the banking was made out of gold lending. This film also tries to make the rothschilds/redshields out to be some kind of welcomed financial force upon the people. There is a lot missing about how the idea of fiat money came to be and how banks can lend out more than they have in reserve, thus making money out of nothing. Terrible, terrible piece of propaganda here...

[hashishclay]

@BlindPlague what are some sources (books moviess ect) that would

[srpenquino]

This is the kind of film we need. A professional documentary, narrated by an English man. Gives the message a lot more 'clout'.

[HSWRKUHHUJHU]

excellent documentary, wonderfully narrated, detailed and interesting. a masterpiece, definitely worth watching. should be duty to watch for every economist student

[demarcos69]

i had to smoke about 2 blunts in a half to soak all this in.....by the time I finished i had a Brittish accent.

[33rdPatriot]

ok hold that thought. i let it play a bit further and see he may have a chance at redemption ...  let's see...

[33rdPatriot]

uh huh, a monetary pee-wee herman is going to reveal all the secrets? doubt it. his initial propositions and questions are wrong, misdirecting attention right from the outset. he should be asking two things, why capitalism and where did it come from, and what about the history of monetary control, particularly the federal reserve scam in the usa and the imf version of it presently raping the planet. that he does neither = total misdirection. don't waste your time here.

[Adriaan1950]

Okease see:

LEAKED NEWS: BERNANKE and TRICHET reform to NEGATIVE INTEREST MONEY.

[beautato]

To rambororschach: In the short format of comment is difficult to explain the concept of money. Today there is no such a thing in ANY country. What masquerades as money are merely promissory notes issued by politicians on your and your children's future production. Money without intrinsic value is NOT money.

[rambororschach]

2:07:40 moooo lol

[beautato]

In that context, fiat counterfeit "money" is stealing work as in slavery without the whip. Fractional banking is not mentioned, thus Mr. Ferguson by omission pulls the ruling class line, either by malice or by ignorance. Given his academic credentials, malice is a much more plausible explanation.

[beautato]

There was something amiss about the ascent of money. Extremely well polished program but DEEPLY flawed. It took a second viewing to put my finger on it. The crucial connection is that the money is not just trust but represents PRODUCTION. It is not one pig one bag of wheat as in barter, vs a pig a gold coin a bag of wheat.

[rambororschach]

@beautato Can you explain this to me again...I feel there is something amiss too but can't quite grasp it, and I don't understand what you have written.

[beautato]

Historical precedence and confusing complexity does not change the fundamentals. What has change in the contemporary environment is the awareness of the populous of the millennium of fraudulent practice.

[beautato]

Excellent documentary. Unfortunately it left me with more questions then answers. For instance the concept of money as trust is watered down in the electronic age. Surely derivatives are more frauds then money. How else can you explain the obscene and unnatural $trillion?

[HumanityWins]

@beautato

it helps to fund wars.

you get a new toxic PVC window on your 5x5 cubicle meanwhile the jesuit empire takes a nation -.-

[WeekendAtBernankes]

@beautato There is definitely a conflict of interest when you stand to make 14 times your investment if the object of the instrument tanks. Worse, it's a bundle of mortgages so you're hoping a bunch of people lose their homes.

[HSWRKUHHUJHU]

@beautato than

[vorrifmn]

Hell yea, another Niall Ferguson Show!

[JonathanRobert78]

The first was the unwillingness of Lyndon Johnson to raise taxes in order to pay for the Vietnam War. The second came from the formation of the OPEC oil cartel, which raised world petroleum prices in three separate stages in the 1970's, triggering a dramatic rise in the cost of living.

[JonathanRobert78]

At 2hrs 49mins in you have the biggest corporate funded lie of this whole documentary... The Freidman-Hayek explanation of the inflation of the 1970's is not consistent with the facts. High prices and stagflation were not driven by economy overheated by either wage demands or gov't spending on liberal social programs. Rather, they were caused by two external shocks.

[mike8903]

no mention of central banks/government role in the boom/bust cycle??? BULLSHIT

[MsSofia881]

Looks like only 265 people watched the whole thing

[TylerMontana]

it's funny if you think about it.

the world is ruled only by rearranging these numbers:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

[tftwstf5]

@TylerMontana you could blow somebadies mind with this one!

[topgunexcel]

Rothschild says that "not to suffer fools lightly" might be a family trait. Listen here you empathy lacking prick!!! Even a fool has a story to tell

[SCPF]

@Malton905 ahaahah right!

[drodude301]

this documentary is retarded.... psyche I'm retarded. Will memorizing this entire documentary help me understand money? I've never done finance.

[Texasknight1990]

only $25 for plasma?? in texas i get $35

[Dkouts57]

20:13

and it still is

[TroySmithforD]

Neil is smoking hot

[joggler66]

Wonderfull movie like documentary. Thank you for the upload. No to NWO

[GianFranco6969]

Best 4 hours of my life... maybe this is why I'm still a virgin.

[bugsy121086]

Dont worry, sex taste better with money.

[FrnnkEducation]

@GianFranco6969 hey, i was a virgin until i was 21. don't cry about it. because once you start getting ass, even if it's a your girlfriend or wife, the biggest threat to your money supply is WOMEN. lmao

[glexspb]

@GianFranco6969 this is why you'll have a beautiful intelligent wife some day ;)

[CrimsonSword36669]

The giant dildo on London’s skyline seems apropos considering the ass reaming taking place at the bottom of the economic ladder!

[CrimsonSword36669]

The only thing I question about the presentation is whether banks and industry really suffer losses due to war, and therefore whether these catastrophic events are in fact orchestrated. No one can deny the fact that Standard Oil by way of I. G. Farben helped in Hitler's rise to power, along with Union Bank of NY. If war was not so profitable, why are DOD contractors and the Industrial-Military complex such as Halliburton doing so well with our wars in the Middle East? CRISIS IS CREATED!

[topgunexcel]

@CrimsonSword36669 Good point. Perhaps the bankers play both sides of the fence, it worked for Switzerland 

[minimoongurll]

FML .. why is this on my midterm?!?!

[MrShia1990]

Why is this on the exam?

[Colombiani]

that man is so smexy.

(he's sexy and smart)

[minimoongurll]

Is it sad that the only reason I'm watching this is because my Finance prof said we'll be tested on it?

[adyNECROMANCER]

@minimoongurll smart teacher + better than reading a 2-300 page book for a test , isn't it ?

[minimoongurll]

@adyNECROMANCER The video is amazing, but my prof doesn't teach out of the textbook, he says he is not a prerecorded textbook, but rather a human being with experiences that were meant to be shared, because being a prof is not about reiterating the textbook but help us understand why the textbook wrote what it did.

[charlesfrith]

Nice opening shot of the pineal gland in the background. Doubt he knows the significance

[bozzeed]

now that i found this video, i dont think i will finish my book :P

[planckbrandt]

This story needs to be cross-referenced with John Perkins: Confessions of An Economic Hit Man to get the real story about Argentina in 1989. Ferguson blithely skates by the real mojo behind Anglo-American predatory capitalism. He covers the Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War, but fails to connect the US primary-dealers and Tbills to pay for the Pentagon. Now, we need to draw conclusions to today's wars too for extraction, and the same methods, bankers and bonds.

[msbrando]

This Europeans are always the same shit all the time. Watch out how he always ends about USA.

If there people who really destroyed and slaved continents and people for centuries, well, those are the fucking Europeans.

They better shut up before criticizing USA.

[bozzeed]

@msbrando USA= Europeans settlers ( new England, York, Orleans, verginia =virgin queen elizabeth I etc)

[msbrando]

@bozzeed Of course, and the spanish part of usa, too. California, texas, colorado, nevada, utath , florida, on on on . All of those names are Europeans, too.

But forget about it, this is a country and has been a country for a while. European countries love to blame USA for everything. They want to look like if this country is the "racist one" but they are not, for example.

I have seen BBC documentary blaming USA for Africa poverty. Even with the so call "blood diamonds" issue, a shame

[bozzeed]

@msbrando both to be blamed /watch?v=iJPi22bE-s0

[habbitz]

I agree, everything should be tested with predicted numbers using models vs historical data, granted the data is even available of course. The problem is that record keeping was often poorly done or just haven't survived, so it's all largely in the abstract the further in the past you go. That is why I like to work primarily with the Early Modern/Modern European era, plenty of numbers to work with. Economics deals with the future, and history of course deals with the past.

[terrywoodinc]

Fascinating book and documentary. I wonder what would happen if economics and finance students learned a bit more financial history and a bit less mathematical models...

[habbitz]

@terrywoodinc What would happen is the field of Economic History, which I am studying ;) Although, you still need the mathematical models to be able to reach any meaningful conclusions, otherwise it's all just opinions.

[terrywoodinc]

@habbitz well... models need to lead to a testable implication which needs to be confirmed by the data oterwise is just elucubration!

I know maths is important for rigorous reasoning, but it's surprising how little economic history economic students get taught. Funnily enough, I was talking about this today with a very clever economist who admitted not to have done economic history ever! Maybe I should send her a link to this doc...

[augustuslxiii]

If I see that dancing South American gentleman one more time....

[TheProjektcc]

thanks for posting this: you are quite alright in my book :)

[z0nt21]

I'm 10 minutes in, out of the 4 hours and 15 seconds of awesomeness. I suppose, it's safe to reveal the truth today, nobody is paying attention! #LOL

Our Enterprise has been a Success - I admire these guys and am looking forward to Soros' thoughts in this doc. ;)

[PacRimJim]

Notice that when he has good things to say about capitalism, the setting is Europe. When he has negative things to expose, it's the U.S. he choose.

Switching off...now.

[onthewall888]

George Soros is monster.

[celshader]

I like money.

55 people like money too.

[PacRimJim]

Not Arabic numerals. Indian numerals.

[therrydicule]

@PacRimJim There is a difference here: the number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 were created by the tamil and been modified by the Persian to be more similar to what we know - even if this look weird for "westerner", but include the zero (helpful, when the Roman had to add 14 time XVIII to do 18X14). Anthropologist voluntary misname that system hindo-arabic, because the real cultures of origin are dead and are at the root of both modern culture ;)

[bikerusl]

Very informative video I'm about half way in. I do think the ancient history stuff is done better than the newer. And it is REALLY irratating in the bond section where he keeps making the same unfunny pun about "Mr. Bond" many times in a minute. But I'm just being picky. It's well worth watching.

[20human00]

thanks for sharing this amazing video clip. This is my 3rd time watching!

Vatican- NAZIS- Socialists­CFR (luciferian jews) run the world. The Globalist, the international bankers, secret societies, organized religions ruled by an elite bloodline, same bloodline ruling from Egypt 2 Rome 2 British (European) Empire 2 now American Empire (1913 Fed Reserve). Presidents & Kings stand at whim of the real power which is the priest hood (Priests - Bishops - Cardinals - Pope) standing behind the throne - trying to form it's one world luciferian gov't

I attended a seminar in Norway where Naill Ferguson was a guest speaker. He came across as very smart individual and he spoke in a direct manner so that I understood the topic. He opened my mind.

4 hours? Wow. Can't wait :)

[Weeds1100]

much appreciated, HumanityWins!

[june8meran]

The book is also very well presented. One of my best read.

[flexy09]

Insightful series, very well done, thanks! I suppose the name is a pun on the famous serious The Ascent Of Man.

Benjamin Graham was Warren Buffets favorite..
