Editor's Take
A walk through the mechanics of the 2008 financial crisis and the engineered fraud behind it, tracing how Wall Street's incentives produced the largest collapse in modern memory. Essential background for understanding the decade that followed.
This film revisits the story told in Inside Job, examining how Wall Street bankers helped engineer the largest financial fraud in history. It walks through the reckless lending, complex products, and conflicts of interest that led to the 2008 crisis. The documentary aims to make the causes and consequences of the meltdown clear to a general audience. It is a useful guide to how the global economy came so close to collapse.
