My Review of “Inside Job”
Here are 6 key takeaways from “Inside Job” (1 hr 49 min):
- Financial Foul Play: The doc uncovers big-time financial corruption. Think Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers, notorious for risky, shady deals.
- CEO Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Cards: Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers and Angelo Mozilo of Countrywide Financial? Their companies crashed, but they barely got a slap on the wrist.
- Cozy Government Ties: The film shines a light on government folks cozying up with the finance industry. Case in point: ex-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s Goldman Sachs connection.
- Real People, Real Pain: It’s not just numbers. The film shows the crisis’s brutal impact on everyday folks – lost homes, jobs, and dreams.
- A Call for Big Changes: “Inside Job” isn’t shy about demanding reform. It’s time for a financial system makeover, with tighter controls on derivatives and capital requirements to prevent another meltdown.
- The Global Domino Effect: This crisis went worldwide. U.S. trade deficits, China’s US Treasury bonds buying spree, and the collapse of markets from Iceland to Greece – “Inside Job” shows how interconnected, and fragile, our global financial system really is.
