I enjoyed this article.
After the U.S. Dollar almost collapsed in 1978, Hollywood made a movie on the theme of financial collapse: Rollover, starring Jane Fonda and Chris Kristofferson. I watched it recently to see the hollywood interpretation of financial collapse. It was ok to provide a flavor of collapse caused by bankers for the general public, put a little bit of a disappointment for anyone with a moderate amount of knowledge about the banking system. Fortunately, by raising interest rates to around 20% the collapse was avoided, so we don't have to worry about a sequel to "Rollover".
