Forex From Scratch is an eBook designed to teach prospective currency traders the fundamentals. It is written in an easy to understand language and can be printed and read at your leisure. Essentially the eBook came about due to the volume of email I was getting asking for basic Forex information. I hope to revise the book and expand on it so your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Money as Debt Videos

Mark — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 10:35:50 +0000

I came across a documentary on youtube that investigates the banking system. I must say from the outset this is a very biased look at the banking system and in places it is factually incorrect. That being said it is still worth a look as it does provide some basic information about the banking system. The documentary is described as:

A highly informative and easy to understand film covers just about everything that isn’t taught in school regarding the corrupt banking system. It explains how these institutions get away with robbing the unsuspecting public by creating monetary policies designed to enslave society, while keeping the system in a perpetual state of rising debt.

I will only post the first three videos as I think the final two videos are so biased as to be of little use.

Corrupt Banking System – Cartels Robbing the Public

This video delves into a brief stylised history of the banking system, loans and Fiat currency.

Corrupt Banking System – How Money is Created

This video looks into the modern monetary system, the loan establishment process and a very simplified version of the multiplier effect.

Corrupt Banking System – Money is Debt

This video explores money as debt theory and highlights how interest payments exceed principal. The end of the video starts to look at monetary system reforms.

The final two videos in my opinion are far to biased to be of any real use. I have to say these videos provide a basic introduction to the monetary system and provide it in an easy to understand manner.
