A Financial Ascension

“As the world continues to struggle to find its footing amid rising unemployment, constricted credit and crumbling banks and industries — raising questions about how the economic system collapsed — PBS presents Niall Ferguson’s ASCENT OF MONEY. This groundbreaking four-part series examines the creation of the economic system by taking viewers on a global trek through the history of money. (An abbreviated version of the documentary, which focused on the current economic crisis at the advent of the Obama administration, aired in January; it can be streamed in full on the Website.) The four-hour version delves deeper into how the complex system of global finance evolved over the centuries, how money has shaped the course of human affairs and how the mechanics of this economic system work to create seemingly unlimited wealth — or catastrophic loss.” • PBS – July 8th, 2009

Money – Belief In A Valuable Idea

“Money, or what we call money, or what we mean when we talk about money, is first and foremost, and at its most essential, an idea. Comparable to Plato’s notion of ‘ideia’, it is formless and shapeless and essentially exists in thought, or mind. Money exists primarily as a construct in human minds; individually and possibly even more prominently, collectively/socially.” • Erwin Lima – Medium.com
