The Money Masters - The Ultimate Documentary On How Central Banks Work by Bill Still

This is the best documentary I have yet come across that explains what money is, how it is created and how central banks work. Bill Still made this in the early 90's, I think. An epic accomplishment for the time. It also has the most succinct and easy to understand explanations of how US dollars are created. Other countries currencies are almost the same steps. When Bill points at the screen with his pen and says "Now pay attention, this is important...", pay attention. When we know exactly how the system is rigged, we can protect ourselves against it and even profit.

Yes it's long, so I recommend putting it on in the background while you do some other work if 3+ hours seems daunting.
