UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMIC MESS WE'RE IN

If you want to have a better understanding of the dynamics behind the 2008 meltdown, and don't have the time to read all the great books out there, try these FRONTLINE videos.

First up, we have Inside the Meltdown, which describes the lead up to meltdown, and what was happening in Congress during those ugly September through December 2008 days.

Next, we have Breaking the Bank, the story of the forced Bank of America and Merrill Lynch merger.

Finally, we have The Warning, which introduces us to those who saw it coming ... but were ignored.
