Sustainable Man Vs. The Federal Reserve

Comedian Louis C.K., Activist Peter Joseph, and Euro Co-Architect Bernard Lietaer break down and expose the big bad joke that is The Federal Reserve, with help from the self-incriminating former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Donald Kohn.

"Our potential as humans is infinite-- let us not limit ourselves through the medium of exchange. It's time to wake up." - Bernard Lietaer

The New Edge of Radical Economics - David Graeber & Charles Eisenstein

In this video, David Graeber, Occupy Wall Street activist and author of Debt: The First 5,000 Years, and Charles Eisenstein, author of Sacred Economics, tackle the loaded question: What is money? Eisenstein and Graeber aptly compare money to magic, and explore the notion that money works because we all believe in it.

This video was recorded by Jonathan VanWettering at NYU Kimmel Center on August 22nd, 2012 for "The New Edge of Radical Economics," an Evolver Network event moderated by Daniel Pinchbeck.

El orden criminal del mundo (legendado em português)

A Ordem Criminal do Mundo, o cinismo assassino que a cada dia enriquece uma pequena oligarquia mundial em detrimento da miséria de cada vez mais pessoas pelo mundo. O poder se concentrando cada vez mais nas mãos de poucos, os direitos das pessoas cada vez mais restritos. As corporações controlando os governos de quase todo o planeta, dispondo também de instituições como FMI, OMC e Banco Mundial para defender seus interesses. Hoje 500 empresas detém mais de 50% do PIB Mundial, muitas delas pertencentes a um mesmo grupo.
