I remember watching this series back when I was at University in the late 90s, I also watched the counter argument doco series in the big philosophical economic debate at the time i.e. 'Free to Choose' with Milton Friedman which was good also in that it used a good documentary making approach, these old school docos/series are brilliant...
I also liked the kind of updated version of this topic with 'The Corporation', anyway this has more substance than Michael Moore's stuff
Very good series, he also wrote many good books my favorite which was titled money which told many amusing story of monetary abuse. The collapse of 2009 would have made another predictably amusing chapter in the book. He was ignored by the "establishment' due to his views in which he encouraged the comforting of the inflicted and the inflicting the comfortable. He saw the world as it really was, spoke openly of corruption, greed and spoke his mind irregardless of who he pissed off.

Thanks for posting this series. I had always wanted to see all the chapters.
Latest financial crisis is no surprising to those who know Galbraith's writings. His knowledge in economic history keeps invaluable.
