剧情介绍
The follow-up to the original "Money as Debt", which explained the origins of the modern day "fractional reserve system" and modern banking. This follow-up focuses on more modern-day banking and the effect the money supply has on the economy. Produced in 2008 and released in 2009, you will be amazed at just how well this film predicted our current (2011) financial crisis.
Both films may sound incredibly dull, but the producers explain things using simple cartoon characters and animated diagrams to keep you interested. While the quality of the static cartoons and animation in both films is quite poor, you don't watch a film like this expecting Fantasia.
If you are into history & politics, you will find this sequel almost as fascinating as the first. My only criticism: This sequel does repeat the myth that "it took World War II to finally pull us out of the Great Depression"... a surprising economic blunder for such a detailed film (if war provides such an economic boom, explain the fact the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have had a devastating economic effect on the U.S. today?) But once you get past that huge blunder, the remainder is quite accurate.
Fascinating to the point of horrifying, "Money as Debt II" is nearly every bit as good as the original.

短片主要揭示现行货币体系的弊端,导向还是有的。兼听则明吧,现在货币本来就是信用货币,因贷款而产生货币,并不与黄金这样的实物挂钩。当人们对货币的信用有信心,那没问题;而一旦失去信心,那它就是个骗局,到那时,黄金这样的实物的价值就会有所提升,更极端的,拥有能维持生计的粮食比拥有货币、黄金都有意义的多。但即便这样,人们也依旧想不出更好的取代方案:金本位不可取,布雷顿森林体系也不行,超国家主权货币或者数字货币同样面临很多问题。或许,人类面临的问题总是比能想到的办法多吧,群体记忆的短暂性也注定让经济的周期震荡一直会继续下去吧。另外还有一个问题不明白,就是债务增长或者货币量增长和利息、经济增长的关系。

看到这个片子看的人这么少,我就知道债务货币肯定且必须会进行下去,只到它自行毁灭的一天。
