Let's Make Money
Most of us don't know where their money is. However, one thing is for certain, it's is not in the bank to which we entrusted it.
The bank and our money is already a part of the cycle of the global money market.
Let’s Make Money is an anti-capitalist Austrian documentary by Erwin Wagenhofer released in 2008.
It is about aspects of the development of the world wide financial system, focusing on how elitists economically exploit the rest of society, especially in the developing world, but also in western nations.
The film starts by tracking the hypothetical savings of a typical depositor as they move around the global system, often causing exploitation as various financial agents try to produce high returns.
There are several interviews with investment managers, politicians, economists as well as homeless people and workers.

That's a quwit-ickted answer to a difficult question
Excellent 2008 documentary I'm viewing in 2015 and I only wish it was being supplemented and updated.
Great documentary. First, because it makes it point by allowing those who are gaming the sytem to consolidate power and money to speak for themselves. (The one oligarch who gives the four point explanation of neoliberalism is enlightening.) Second, it explains the Austrian model which is behind the turn in the world in the last 30 to 40 years to install the capitalist elite as the power over nations states in the words of those responsible for it. Third, it shows the grinding poverty induced by those who rape continents (like the Africa footage) of its natural resources to enrich the few in the West, the 1% if you will. And, last, it does all of this in an understated way, and exposes the system so one can see the fruits (or, ill-gotten gains) of those who are raping the earth, exploiting the workers, and stealing the wealth and the power of whole nations in a new form of colonialization that is now gutting the working class of the West itself to take what gains they have gotten. Predators all, acting under a ssytem the always puts profit over people, short term gains over the destroying of people and our world.
I'd say its accurate that this material isn't easy to come by and the full version is much more extensive. As it is truly hitting the 'nerve', it's required of being 'kept' as the saying goes among intellectuals.
True, also the other two movies of the trilogy are hitting our present core nerves of having accrued moral / cultural / emotional debts to become a headlong self-destructing civilization – though money , more than food, health, human relationships and the purity of childhood, seems to be most 'sensitive' nerve at that. Which is obviously sadder than sad.
that's not the full documentary... the full one is over 100 min
Maybe you shouldn't make a documentary based globally without subtext.
subtitle with english!!!! wtf!
BORING
waste of time
No sure what I have learnt here !!
I wanted to learn about the economy and just ended up learning german :(. Ist es zier gute!
Quit whining...I watched this entire Doc without subtitles.
There ARE other languages than just English.
Singapore dollar and NZ dollar will be the next currency to reach parity with the US dollar.
Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Swiss Franc, British pound, Euro, and the Yen have ALL surpassed the dollar in value. (100 yen is the benchmark for 1 USD)
IF you want something to whine about (if you're an American)...
THAT'S what you should be yelling about..not subtitles
THE RACE TO THE BOTTOM
US news media says...and I quote from many channels...
"Stay the Course" AKA "Stick/keep your money in a 401K and STFU"
Stay the course...and you will have A LOT of dollars...
and they will be worthless!!
Ron Paul 2012 to stop the robbery.....
Or be another Argentina in the very near future
There many (potentially) very interesting docu's on this site - if only they were each clearly marked with a main language, it would save many people a lot of time.
You have to speak Austrian or German? to understand this one?
I click the arrow on the right side of the video but there are no CC options for me. Anyone know why?
Yo Vlat. I'm getting captions not available. Is that temp or has the man decided that this type of doc is not suitable in this financial climate?
To: Carpenter...the point clearly made was the greed and utter immorality of Capitalism in "Making Money" regardless of the consequences to people or environment.
Vijai: 'where'? First a bloody anarchy, then a tyranny whose viciousness shall surpass the 'French Terror' [1791-93],then quasi democracy, until the cycle repeats itself again, as all history does.
Only this time the lack of bare necessities may not put an end to barbarism and treachery for a very long time.
The mildest scenario is that millions will be living in makeshift shelters [like Calcutta], throughout the USA, and absolutely forsaken!
Nicely made ..one of the best documentary of this kind i guess,It did a Good work by combining all the pieces and giving a clear picture abt global Financial System, i was really Frustrated after seeing this .. Being born in a third world Country (India)..i'm just wondering wre the hell we are gonna end UP in?...
The bottom line is the doc is telling you ....better get rich fast or you're gonna fall behind because the gap between the rich and the poor will expand faster then you can imagine.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, and for my poor English, but I am saying just a facts, nothing else.
Vlatko seems to have mercifully intervened.
I'll be kind and say your limited English prevents me from pursuing this topic with you any further.
Than why all the central banks are under yew power? are you blind? This power is inherited. You are not reading what i am writing?! I said what Napoleon did about banks, not in ordinary life of people, yews and other nations.
I know basic history, but i don't believe everything what is writen there. It is like to blieve Bush words and reasons why he atack Iraq.
Dont be blind, who runs us central bank? Who decide, who gets loans and who don't. They are good at this. You should read some books of them, and learn who was mayer amschel, nathan rotschild and others...
Hitler and Jews in same contest? Hmm Hitler is dead, and the wars are still going on, so as poverty. I wonder who is behind this? You newer asked yourself this kind of question? And you are saying immoral. What is beter to exterminate black peoples in Africa or enslave them?? Hitler system was no worse no better than this one.
Capitalism: the cruelest most unjust, and destructive economic-political system ever devised by men. This documentary reinforces my position.
It is immoral and it doesn't work for people or the environment. If you cannot see that I suppose you don't want to.
Moris: How dare you speak of Hitler & the Jews in the same context of this documentary? Antisemitic nonsense.
Napolean did quite the opposite of what you say.
Your grasp of History is either incomplete or poorly understood. Napolean eradicated the serf system, destroyed tariffs, equalized mercantile laws, opened borders, and liberated the Jews from oppression wherever he could. Over 100,000 books have been written about Napolean. You might start with a credible and reknowned Napolean scholar such as Emile LUDWIG, and work your way toward Will Durants' 'THE STORY OF CIVILASATION', vol.11, 'THE AGE OF NAPOLEAN"
