Nova: Mind over Money

I thought I'd share this since I found it a pretty interesting watch:

The psychological experiments are pretty interesting, and personally I found the explanation for how the housing bubble fueled the derivatives bubble really put it into an interesting perspective.

 

There are some aspects I didn't like: I think they mischaracterize chicago economics and explained those theories in a more cumbersome manner than they needed. I doubt it's so much a political bias as jumping on something new.

Yah I cringed a bit at some of the Discovery Channel-like simplifications. It was a pretty good show overall, though, I agree.
